Basketball legend LeBron James has had many special moments in his over 20-year professional career.
However, the honor of waving his country’s flag in the Olympics was one moment he hadn’t lived out yet.
But the 39-year-old is set to live his dream as he has been voted by all members of the US contingent to be the flag bearer of Team USA’s men’s team.
LeBron’s Team USA basketball teammate, Stephen Curry, made the special announcement during the team meeting.
A video of the announcement has surfaced on social media, capturing LeBron James’ raw reaction to the news.
The clip, which has quickly gone viral, shows the Lakers superstar visibly stunned and emotional upon receiving the news.
James, who has been a cornerstone of Team USA basketball for years, will be playing his fourth Olympics for Team USA.
In his previous three appearances, the 4-time NBA champion won two gold medals and one bronze while representing his country.
