LeBron James and Coco Gauff Named Team USA Flag Bearers for Paris Olympics

James and Gauff will lead Team USA in the opening ceremony, marking historic firsts for both athletes.

LeBron James is the first U.S. men's basketball player to serve as flag bearer.
Coco Gauff is the youngest American flag bearer in Olympic history.
Gauff's parents knew about her selection before she did, adding to the surprise.
This will be James' fourth and likely final Olympic appearance.
Gauff missed the Tokyo Olympics due to COVID-19 and is making her debut in Paris.
