With the 2024 Paris Olympics just around the corner, there is a lot of focus on the quality of Simone Biles as a gymnast and as an ambassador for the United States of America.
America will be one of the nations competing to win the Olympics in France and the medals that Biles and her teammates can pick up in the gymnastics will be a huge part of any overall national success.
LeBron sings Biles’ praises
With that in mind, the Associated Press sat down with a host of NBA stars to discuss just how important Biles is.
“She’s the best…It’s that simple. She’s the best,” LeBron James said about Biles. LeBron has a nine-year-old daughter who has taken a lot of inspiration from the quality of Biles over the years.
“She’s an inspiration to my daughter and to all…if you love greatness,” he said in an ESPN interview, saying, “Simone is super dope. And she’s an inspiration to my daughter and to all, not only Black girls in the world, but also, kids, anyone, not only just in gymnastics, but any field.”
Indiana Pacers icon Tyrese Haliburton has also been praising Biles, and Miami Heat star Adebayo explained the one thing he wants to see at the Olympics.
“To be able to see that just one time and hopefully get a picture with her, it’d mean a lot because she’s done a lot for not only the faces of us but for her sport as a whole,” he said.
