From NBC
Team USA has spoken. LeBron James has been chosen by his fellow Olympians to be the U.S. flag bearer during the Opening Ceremony for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The U.S. delegation bestowed the honor on James, who will be competing in his fourth Olympics as the U.S. men’s basketball team looks for its fifth consecutive gold medal and eighth in the last nine Olympics dating back to the historic 1992 Dream Team.
“It’s an incredible honor to represent the United States on this global stage, especially in a moment that can bring the whole world together,” James, the face of the NBA for the last two decades, said.
“For a kid from Akron, this responsibility means everything to not only myself, but to my family, all the kids in my hometown, my teammates, fellow Olympians and so many people across the country with big aspirations,” the 39-year-old said. “Sports have the power to bring us all together, and I’m proud to be a part of this important moment.”

Why?? So many other athletes could have carried the flag. He's past his prime, let someone new in! Damn. Sha'carrie or how ever you spell that child's name should have had the honor. She cleaned up her act and has been winning ever since. That would have been a much better selling point. The underdog, comeback story. This ego manic is annoying!
I have no problem with it. He's at the top of his game and well deserved.
It should have been Simone.
Simone is a great choice. That girl been killing it and making us proud!
Well deserved. Next!
We are shapeshifters. Very fitting!

We wanted Simone
