Celtics teammates Derrick White (left), Jayson Tatum and Jrue Holiday will play for the men’s Olympic team in Paris.
Before USA Basketball begins its journey for gold at the Paris Olympics, the players joined over 500 Team USA athletes in the Opening Ceremony in a boat parade down the Seine.
LeBron James was honored by Team USA as the first men’s basketball player to carry the flag in the ceremony.
Check out the festive scene from Paris.
