LeBron is the first men’s basketball player to carry the flag for USA.
LeBron James is set to make history at the Paris Olympics by being the first U.S. men’s basketball player to be a flag bearer at the games.
This marks the third time in history a basketball player has been a flag bearer at the games, with Sue Bird carrying the flag during the opening ceremony of the 2020 games in Tokyo, while Dawn Staley had the duty at the 2004 Olympics in Athens.

Lance Stroll and Fernando Alonso were given their own set of team orders to follow at the Hungarian Grand Prix
Sunday’s Hungarian Grand Prix was dominated by questions over team orders, potential tension among teammates, and concerns over where a certain team goes from here.
Of course, we are talking about Aston Martin.
Yes, how McLaren handled things between Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris captured the early headlines, but over at Aston Martin, similar issues over a set of team orders late in the race have surfaced.
There’s so much to unpack in this one photo.
Just in case you needed a little more proof that we’re living in the weirdest timeline: Here’s Stephen A. Smith trying to enjoy a Sunday cookout while being tracked down and ask about Kamala Harris’ presidential bid in the wake of Joe Biden’s announcement he won’t be seeking a second term.
