LeBron James Named Paris Olympics Flagbearer

News summary

LeBron James, at 39, will compete in his fourth Olympic Games and has been chosen as the male flagbearer for Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics, making him the first male basketball player to receive this honor. James, a four-time NBA champion and two-time Olympic gold medalist, was nominated by his peers, with Stephen Curry advocating for him on behalf of the U.S. men's team. Despite mixed reactions from the public, James' selection is celebrated by many for his contributions on and off the court. James led Team USA to a 92-88 victory over Germany in their final pre-Olympics exhibition game, showcasing his enduring skill and leadership. The female flagbearer will be announced soon, as the International Olympic Committee now mandates one male and one female flagbearer from each nation for gender parity. The opening ceremony will take place on the River Seine, marking the first time it will be held outside a main stadium.
