Pretty disappointing. I know this was a huge deal for him. Woulda been cool to see him soak it all in.

The boat parade entrance ain’t doing it for me. Massive L for France.

Whoever had the idea of putting the country’s name in front of the athletes’ faces should be fired. There’s enough room on the ship to put that thing on.

I’ve been watching this stream on and off and this opening ceremony has been pretty shit I can’t lie

That’s some unfortunate flag placement

The TV feed is same for everyone. Not NBC fault but the French are to blame, as always.

Who’s stupid idea is the boat? What was wrong with a marching parade?
thewrongnotes
Unfortunately Giannis, Bron, and Dennis got the worst Olympics to be a flagbearer.
No way is standing at the front of a boat as exhilarating as leading your country into a stadium of screaming fans.
Not to mention that it has endlessly pissed it down the entire parade.

This wouldn’t have happened if Thanasis was selected as Greece’s male flag bearer!!

The athletes on boats has been horrible

Coverage was embarrassing. Barely showed the Countries and Athletes. When the USA came on, they said, “And finally… the boat you’ve been waiting for!” Then showed it for about 10 seconds. F-grade coverage by NBC.

Giannis dropping 50 vs France in the knockout phase just because of the French producers/directors of this shit

Goofy how this ended up but also Giannis is not even holding the flag in this shot.

Serbia is going to have a taco bell flag I hope

This totally pissed me off. It should be an epic moment for any athletes that bear their country’s flag.
I like that the parade is situated on the river. But they should had put more effort in setting the camera to make it look good and put more emphasis on the flag bearer.

Giannis is the tallest person on that boat and I deadass can’t see him 💀

Can I pre-hype for I believe that is Mike Tirico, future voice of NBA on NBC, on the mic there just perfectly pronounced “Giannis Antetokounmpo”?

This whole ceremony was awful tbh

OLYMPICS CEREMONY SHOULD BE ON THE INSIDE OF A MF STADIUM.
This looks like a Pirate Hostage auctioning.

Why do you need a flag with name on it? THATS WHAT THE FUCKING FLAG IS FOR

I was pretty annoyed. The staging was terrible. I was looking forward to seeing Giannis, his moment got totally lost.

but yeah, camera and flag placement were bad.
From some angles, so what? I also see the flag bearer in multiple views in this very clip.
