While his last group match with Team USA will not take place until Saturday, LeBron James has been able to attend other events of the Paris Olympics between now and then.
His presence on the Concorde site has not gone unnoticed… just like his gesture on site.
For almost a week, it is on Villeneuve d’Ascq that the eyes of the basketball world have been fixed.
Or at least a large part of them. Indeed, most fans of the orange ball are focused above all on the 5×5 tournaments of the Paris Olympic Games, whose group stages are taking place in the North. However, that would be to omit the competitions taking place in the French capital.
LeBron James knights himself at the Concorde… and pays the price
While waiting for the start of the 5×5 final stages at Bercy, Paris is giving pride of place to 3×3 basketball, whose matches are taking place at the Concorde.
A magnificent site where the meeting between the women’s teams of Spain and the United States took place, this Thursday evening.
Ultimately victorious, the Americans were able to count on strong support in the stands, namely a certain… LeBron James:

Accompanied for the occasion by his wife, Savannah, and his daughter, Zhuri, LeBron apparently brought luck to his compatriots, who have been struggling since their entry into the Olympics. But beyond this royal arrival, Internet users focused mainly on the crowning that the King himself performed on his head.
A behavior that many found embarrassing:
Hes gotta stop crowning himself its mad corny

Really awkward
Caught by the cameras during his furtive passage at the Concorde, this Thursday evening, LeBron James reproduced the coronation gesture that he often performs on the NBA courts. And clearly too much for some fans’ tastes.
