In 2004, when LeBron James was participating in his career-first Olympics, little did he know he would achieve a wonderous honor 2 decades later. Yes, that’s right. The “kid from Akron” was chosen to be the official male flag bearer, representing all Americans in Friday’s opening ceremony for the Paris Olympics.
His fellow U.S. Olympians picked him for the honor of leading a 592-player contingent. With the honor bestowed upon him, King James became the third basketball player to do so. In fact, he’s the first men’s basketball player to carry the US red and blue colors at the opening ceremony.

Which one?
Especially Bob Costas
I feel better already. Let’s sing “Kum Bah Yah.”
The NBA is a joke. The intensity isn't there. That's why they barely beat South Sudan. Maybe Serbia will beat them.
Lebron is the last guy I would have picked for any kind of national reconciliation.
The USOC is woke.
Then you left wing loons should quit dividing us LeBron.
Guy who bend a knee for BLM and called America a racist country wants to “End divisions” in this country, how ironic
Since when do leftard basket cases give a rats patootie about an Olympics basketball game?
Hope he doesn’t flop and drop Old Glory.
Boom.
An America hating, racist, hate-filled bigot who owes allegiance to the CCP carrying our nation’s flag.
Screw him.
So...what - there's also a female flag bearer?
First runner up was Dennis Rodman
Not a chance, freak.
Haven't heard who. Maybe Brittany Griner. Although, not a bad choice. Apparently, he had learned his lesson from spending time in Russia. The only problem is his gender.
Same old story. The left preaches tolerance and from their moral perch they lament division and want “unity”... right up until the moment they take back power. As we have witnessed, once in power they are free to bear their teeth and crack down with lawfare and the full weight of the federal government upon anyone who doesn’t conform to their rules.
LeBron James has repeatedly and intentionally opined in a divisive manner over the years regarding Conservatives and now that the country appears to be beginning a 180 with Trump, he and they, are suddenly all about tolerance and unity again. Everyone know that once again ensconced in power, then everything again will be a deep fake, a conspiracy theory, a threat to America and threat to democracy.
“Country That’s So Divided”
Says a black guy who hates white people. Get outta here.....fool.
Exactly.
