Watching the Olympics? Post about it here.
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. Some of the biggest stars are back, including gymnast Simone Biles, decorated swimmers Katie Ledecky and Caleb Dressel, as well as track athletes Noah Lyles and Sha'carri Richardson. Plus, the men's and women's basketball teams look to extend their dominant runs at the games with more gold.

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."

Here's how to watch the 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony and highlights from the first week of competition.

I think the more skilled players are the more physical the game can be. I think we are doing it backwards. The NBA should be most physical and college should be more finesse because those college guys struggle to score as it is.

MAYBE Zion..but yeah that list is pretty lackluster. The US talent is regressing.
You from from Magic/Larry to MJ to Kobe/Shaq to Lebron/Durant/Curry and then that shitty list with no real generational studs.

I don't actually think Curry or LeBron are top 7 NBA players, and defensively they definitely aren't. KD either. Kerr deferred to the old guys but I don't really think he had to. I have no doubt Tatum, Edwards and Booker could perform if they knew they were "the guys"

They are top 7 American players. We shall see but I don't have a lot of confidence in 28.

Booker, White, AD, Ant, Jrue, Bam, Tatum and Haliburton is a solid start to a decent roster. Add LBJ to the mix, a couple more sharpshooters, and you've got yourself a nice BB crew.

The US should still always win the gold. There isn't a single team in the world that has more than two guys who would break the top 8 of the US. Kerr's inability to adjust to the talents of his team made the squad look much worse than they really were. The US should be absolutely harassing these teams over the entirety of the court with a second unit rather than letting them comfortably run a half-court offense.

When LeBron and Curry are turned up (and not coasting/conserving energy in a 82 game season), they’re quite easily at that level.

Redfan. He understands and respects LeBron’s greatness it seems.

Ninerfan, however, appears to deeply despise him.
