A quick intro.... 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony: Start time, TV channel, date, live stream, key athletes and events The 2024 Olympic Games begin July 26 and will be televised on NBC through Aug. 11 It's the time once again. It's time for the best athletes in the world to come together and crown champions in their various sports. The 2024 Olympic Games are set to begin this week in Paris as the world descends upon France. While there will be some qualifying events taking place earlier in the week, things officially kick off on Friday with the Opening Ceremony. The Opening Ceremony is scheduled for Friday and feature several firsts, including being the first ceremony to be held outside of a stadium, as well as a parade of athletes held on the Seine River with boats for each national delegation. The boats will travel along a 3.7-mile stretch, passing by many iconic Parisian landmarks along the way. The ceremony will conclude with remarks from French President Emmanuel Macron. Expect another gold-filled summer for the Americans as Team USA will be represented in just about every event over the course of the Games.

There will be two flag bearers for the United States when the team takes the boat down the Seine River -- LeBron James and tennis star Coco Gauff. The 2023 US Open champion was stunned by the news when it was revealed to her on Wednesday. "I never thought in a million years I would have the honour of carrying the American flag for Team USA in the opening ceremony," Gauff said in a statement. "I could not be more proud to lead my teammates with LeBron as we showcase our dedication and passion on the biggest stage there is."

You can just watch college if you want to see a bunch of hacking constantly; the NBA should remain free of it.

Without Curry, USA gets 2 L's. Hopefully he has 1 more Olympics in him even at 39 because the young talent sucks compared to the over 35 crew.
