Wen Fat: Embiid is right & Janduku is indeed past his prime, but James is still a basketball ambassador
At the same time, he is also the default "basketball ambassador" by the outside world, and it is very rare to have both of these awards!
There is no doubt about this, and James' place in the league has long been involved in history.
He has also played a great role in the development of basketball culture, and countless fans have fallen in love with basketball because of him.
Bushy eyebrows are a prime example of this, he has always idolized James, and now he is also a star.
Playing on the same team as his former idols, James' influence continues to grow.
The award was voted for by many athletes, and it can be said that it is the desire of the people.
Interestingly, however, it was another basketball superstar named "Schoolboy" who made the announcement at the election.
Everyone paid their most sincere tribute to James, and he himself was very honored.
James himself spoke on this important occasion to express his thoughts on the award.
In fact, it was the first time in history that the Olympic flag bearer was handed over to a league player, which was quite unexpected.
Because all over the world, most countries will choose domestic basketball players to perform this activity.
After all, one of the characteristics of basketball players is that they are tall and look very "righteous".
At this important moment of the opening of the Olympic Games, it is very appropriate to choose such athletes as flag bearers.
So in the eyes of most people, United States should be the same, but the truth is the opposite.
Aside from James being named the flag bearer, no league player has ever been honored with this honor.
At the last Tokyo Olympics, the relevant departments also changed the "rules" of the opening flag bearers to allow the men's football team to attend.
United States, on the other hand, chose to arrange a combination of women's basketball players and a baseball player to attend.
For 16 years, a swimmer was responsible for this role, and for 12 years as a fencer.
Counting back is the Olympic Games hosted by Beijing in '08, and the opening flag bearer of United States also chose Lopez Ramon to attend.
The United States Olympic flag bearer is not decided by government officials or the Olympic Committee.
It is up to the players to vote on who will be elected, which is a sign of democracy.
In other words, James can be elected as the flag bearer of this year, which can also prove the recognition of him inside and outside the sports circle.
Then it's no surprise to be a basketball ambassador, and the court veteran deserves it!
Since the inception of the NBA, countless "basketball gods" have been born in the league and have left a deep impression on people.
Whether it is the early "God of Basketball", or the former "Black Mamba", or the "KD" at its peak.
Their greatness in basketball is enough to go down in history, but they also never made the opening flag bearer.
As early as the Olympic Games officially included basketball in the competition, United States achieved "dominance" in the world basketball field.
The gold medalist in basketball at successive Olympic Games is United States, and there are few failures.
Subsequently, at the end of the 90's, the relevant authorities revised the rules regarding basketball in the Olympics, and professional players could participate.
This led to the "United States Dream Team", and since then the United States men's basketball team has continued to shine at the Olympics.
He has won gold medals in many Olympic competitions and has shown a king-level performance in the world basketball field.
However, even with such a strong strength, no league player has ever been the opening flag bearer.
Although United States basketball is among the best in the world, its contribution to the Olympics is limited.
The sports in which the United States has won the most Olympic gold medals are swimming and track and field.
And United States' basketball is too strong, and it is often misunderstood by the outside world as the national sport of United States, but in fact, baseball is the national game.
And in contrast, the popularity and popularity of football in the United States is much higher than basketball.
In the United States, it is quite difficult for league players to become the opening flag bearer and requires multi-dimensional consideration.
The first choice is to have enough career achievements, and it also depends on the performance of athletes in other sports during the same period.
In the 08 Olympic Games that year, the shot given to the "Black Mamba" was already a very high-level honor!
And in this Olympic Games, there are very few players who can compete for the opening flag.
There are only three players at the same time as James, Curry and KD, among which James has the highest status.
Four championships plus four Finals Bests, including four regular-season Most Valuable Player awards.
This is already a very high honor in the league, but he has many other honors.
He has been selected as an All-Star and "Most Valuable Player" in the All-Star Series many times, and is the league's all-time leading scorer.
There's also a lot of best team-ups and best defenses, and there's no doubt about his achievements.
Anyone who has ever touched basketball can hear James' name and feel his power.
Today, he is also known as the "GOAT" in the league and plays a vital role in the entire basketball culture.
Therefore, he can be elected as the flag bearer of the opening of the Olympic Games this time, and there is no "water"!

Shen Jing: The agent is negotiating with the team that I can get an offer of 180 million to 200 million for 4 years next year
At the same time, the issue of Shen Jing's contract was also spread on the Internet.
Previously, the team's general manager had made it clear that he would not be traded, and it seemed that he was safe to stay with the team at the time.
But according to the latest news, Shen Jing himself also said that the two sides are negotiating on the issue of contract renewal.
His future has become unknown, and if the Rockets don't renew his contract early, Shin Kyung is likely to be poached.
After all, his performance on the court is very bright, and who wouldn't want a center who averages less than 20 points per game?
Of course, this also depends on how Shen Jing will make trade-offs in the future, after all, he is also one of the main forces of the team.
The future development of the Rockets is also related to him, and on the whole, the probability of him staying on the team is still relatively large.
These two news on the 22nd have also become a hot topic in the circle, what do you think about this?
