LeBron James has been voted by his fellow Olympians to be the Team USA flag-bearer at the opening ceremony on the River Seine on Friday in Paris. James is the first men's basketball player to carry the flag for Team USA. Women's basketball players Sue Bird (2020) and Dawn Staley (2004) previously served in the honorary role. Paris is James' fourth Olympics. He won golds in 2008 in Beijing and 2012 in London and a bronze in 2004 in Athens. "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 said in a statement from London, where Team USA will play its final pre-Olympic exhibition game Monday against Germany.
It’s a great way to showcase his leadership and commitment. What do you expect his presence to bring to the opening ceremony?
