During the Paris Olympics, LeBron James took the time to attend events other than basketball games. 

The opportunity for him to see Simone Biles in real life, and he just paid her a new compliment.

As always, the American basketball team arrived at the Olympic Games with the firm intention of winning gold.

But LeBron James and his teammates did not let this goal get in the way of their pleasure.

That is why they decided to set up in Paris from the first day, and not in Lille like the other nations.

It must be said that the first round was a formality for them, even if Serbia had the weapons to worry Steve Kerr’s men.

In short, before diving into a bubble of concentration for the last two matches of the tournament, the “Avengers” had fun by going to different Olympic events.

For example, Tyrese Haliburton was impressed by the Lebrun brothers in table tennis.

LeBron James compliments Simone Biles again

A family man who is very present for his family, the King brought his wife Savannah and his children to enjoy the festivities, and in particular the magnificent beach volleyball stadium at the foot of the Eiffel Tower.

Passing by the YouTube channel of the site “DraftKings”, LeBron spoke about his favorite events, the opportunity to make a dedication to Simone Biles:

For me, it’s always fascinating to watch athletics during the Olympics and also gymnastics. Obviously, I love seeing Simone Biles dominate her discipline.

It was incredible to see the level she’s at. And then I have a little black girl at home who loves gymnastics, it’s good for her to have an example like Simone.

And then for athletics I just like to see them run. They’re extremely fast, and you also have events that are about endurance like the 400 meters.

There’s the 4×100 meter relay… And then all the countries are represented. I like to see the great athletes that come from all over the world. It was a really cool moment.

LeBron James was obviously focused on Team USA’s games, which didn’t stop him from enjoying other disciplines. He attended Simone Biles’ titles with his young daughter, but also track and field events. What he loves above all is the communion of all peoples in the same stadium.

LeBron James is a sports fan, these Paris Olympic Games were obviously a great moment for him. And he enjoyed it all the more because he was accompanied by his family on the different events.
