Makes sense it’s last Olympics

Kd getting slighted everywhere
I like to imagine the entire team standing in a circle casting votes, starting with Lebron. He says himself and then just stares at the next person to vote until they say his name, at which point he nods and moves his gaze to the next in line. Unanimous choice.
literally LeCaptain America
That’s awesome! Katie Ledecky as the women’s bearer?
wait. he has never been selected before?
that makes LeBron and Giannis the two basketball playing flag bearers so far. Fun to see as a hoops fan. Am I missing anyone else?
LeCaptain America.
Lame, Biles clearly deserved that honor
Lame, Fredette clearly deserved that honor
Makes sense
That year in Beijing it wasnt Kobe? Wow
Shouldn’t it have been KD?
Makes sense since his name is French
How I Met Your Mother has ruined my ability to hear the word “bearer”
put “Captain America” under his nicknames in Basketball References already
Does this put Lebron over Jordan and end the GOAT debate?
Shameful considering what he did to the Uighurs and how much he loves China.

That’s so damn cool
LePatriotism
enes Kanter Freedom mad asf rn
Why are we letting a Frenchmen carry our flag in Paris?Â
Went from being called LeBronze in 2004 to flagbearer for the entire Team USA 20 years later. He really has main character aura.
Insane that Jordan was not picked
What does this mean for LeBron’s legacy?
Nike robbed Jaylen Brown once again
Should have been Embiid
The aura will be unreal.
SMH Mj couldn’t even be the flag bearer
Ain’t he French tho? Lè-Bron
He’s deserving. Enjoy it boys, he won’t be here next Olympics

Saved USA frm south Sudan!
Something to outdo MJ
This is probably his biggest sports achievement ever. Good for him.
Our next LePresident
Conservatives on twitter are losing their shit over this 🤣🤣
One of the greatest athletes ever last games make sense
I’d vote for him too, since he just allows USA to escape that upset
First player from the MNBA!
