The guy got the best selfie of the Olympics?
Security tried to stop some fans from getting autographs, but LeBron James stopped and showed love to the fans in Lille. He also took a fan’s phone to snap a selfie.

To be in the building 15 or 20 years ago to see LeBron in the open court — with that speed and power and out-of-nowhere extra burst — was just awe-inspiring.
And you know what?
It still is. – 12:31 PM

The LeBron behind-the-back pinpoint pass with his right to Embiid cutting on the baseline was insane, but him destroying PR’s coverage on the Booker screen with a lefty bounce pass leading Book to the paint was also sensational. Off hand, in front of the moving target. Precise. – 12:08 PM

From the “the little things matter” category: LeBron pulling Curry up off the floor essentially in stride got Steph back into the play instead of giving PR a 5-on-4. USA gets the stop. – 12:00 PM

More on this storyline
Speaking of Durant, Edwards once again emphasized how much he enjoys being a teammate of both KD and LeBron James. “I’ve ever dreamed of, hell yeah,” Edwards said. “He’s [Durant] the best part. He and Bron, they’re the best two people. I mean, team players, they always want to see the person next to them shine. I’m the same way, so it’s perfect. It’s perfect.” -via EuroHoops.net / August 3, 2024

During a recent interview on Yahoo Sports, Tony Parker gave his take on how he sees Victor Wembanyama’s Spurs career ending up. “There’s nothing I can tell him. He’s ready. . .He’s not bothered by the pressure or the expectations, he’s a little like LeBron [James]. The only one that can compare with so much expectation before he arrived is LeBron James,” Parker said. “Victor, the way he played his rookie season with the Spurs, he was unbelievable. So I hope it translates with a lot of championships for the Spurs, and I hope it will translate with a lot of medals for French basketball.” -via Clutch Points / August 2, 2024
