Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James will serve as the flag-bearer for the United States at the 2024 Summer Olympics.
Olympic teammate Stephen Curry nominated James for the honor, which was voted on by his fellow Olympians. Team USA will announce the female flag bearer on Tuesday.
"It's an incredible honor to represent the United States on this global stage, especially in a moment that can bring the whole world together," James said in a statement.
"For a kid from Akron, this responsibility means everything to not only myself, but to my family, all the kids in my hometown, my teammates, fellow Olympians and so many people across the country with big aspirations.
