LeBron James, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, expressed his appreciation to Team USA for the honor of carrying their men's flag at the Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony, saying he was "extremely humbled."
LeBron has rightfully earned the title of "King James," being recognized as one of the greatest basketball players of all time globally when he played in his first Olympic Games in 2004 and won bronze. Before the USA basketball team's 92-88 victory over Germany on July 22, James received the news from Steph Curry, a four-time NBA champion.
While playing with the Heat in 2012 and 2013, James won his first two NBA titles in both of these seasons, he was also named the league's MVP and the Finals MVP. In 2014, following his fourth season with the Heat, James chose to not renew his contract and rejoin the Cavaliers.
In 2016, he ended the Cleveland sports curse by recovering the Cavaliers from a 3-0 deficit to defeat the Golden State Warriors in the Finals.
Paris dunks
The goal of the Paris Dunk Low Pro SB was to celebrate the impact that some of the most famous cities in the world have had on skate culture. It was meant to be released only at the "White Dunk: Evolution of an Icon" exhibition in Paris.
The partnership with French painter Bernard Buffet was postponed due to intense demand, and the limited edition bespoke pairs were distributed through chosen accounts.
There are opinions that just 150 to 200 pairs of the Paris Dunks were made, making them the most expensive Nike SB available now. They are original works of art created especially for the "White Dunk" travelling art exhibition when it arrived in Paris.
The suede and canvas uppers have been decorated with artwork by French painter Bernard Buffet, who sadly passed away in 1999. The exhibition was scheduled to feature a raffle, but it was eventually postponed because of the overwhelming number of people fighting for a pair of tickets.

Los Angeles Lakers SVG
There have been little changes made to the Los Angeles Lakers logo from its previous version. The horizontal lines that represent a quick ball speed are more clearly defined, and the words "LOS ANGELES LAKERS" are written in a darker color tone. These components are all arranged atop a basketball. The purple, gold, and black colors represent the Los Angeles Lakers.
USA Olympic flag football team
Flag football will be introduced at the Summer Olympics in 2028. There will be two events: a male and a female event. Flag football is a form of American football that was played at the 2022 World Games. Instead of tackling the ball carrier, players remove flags attached to them.
Only American football, out of the main professional sports in the country, has never been allowed to compete at the Olympic Games. It has been a demonstration sport twice at the Summer Olympics: first in 1904, when college football teams played multiple games at Francis Olympic Field and second in 1932, when East and West All-Stars played one game each.
Rookie of the Year: 2003–2004
The Cleveland Cavaliers, James home team, selected him with the first overall pick in the 2003 NBA draft.

Rise to superstardom: 2004–2008
James was selected for his first NBA All-Star Game in the 2004–05 season after leading the Eastern Conference to victory with 13 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 6.0 assists. "It's weird talking about a 20-year-old kid being a great player, but he is a great player," Denver Nuggets coach George Karl said to Sports Illustrated in response to teams throughout the league taking note of his quick progress.
MVP seasons: 2008–2010
James made his first NBA All-Defensive Team and finished second in the voting for the NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award after the conclusion of the 2008–2009 season. He recorded a career-high 93 total blocks and 23 chase-down blocks. In a single season, James became just the fourth player since the merger to lead his team in points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks.
