In a major milestone, LeBron James has been named the flag bearer for Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
This honor marks the first time a men's basketball player from Team USA has been chosen for this prestigious role.
LeBron, nominated by Stephen Curry and the national team, received the news on Monday.
Reflecting on the selection, James expressed his deep gratitude and appreciation for the recognition.
Joining an elite group of flag bearers, LeBron follows in the footsteps of women's basketball legends Dawn Staley and Sue Bird, who were chosen in 2004 and 2021, respectively.
The Lakers superstar, already a four-time NBA champion and the league's all-time leading scorer, adds this accolade to his impressive list of achievements.
LeBron's Olympic journey includes two gold medals from the 2008 and 2012 Games and a bronze from 2004.
The Opening Ceremony of the Paris Olympics is set for Friday, featuring a unique parade of athletes traveling in boats down the River Seine.
LeBron and Team USA will be introduced second to last, honoring the tradition reserved for the next host country.
