NBA superstar LeBron James was selected as the male flagbearer for the United States Team during the Olympics opening ceremony in Paris on Friday night. It marks the first time a men’s basketball player was chosen for the honor.

“It’s an incredible honor to represent the United States on this global stage, especially in a moment that can bring the whole world together,” James said. 

It is the fourth Olympics for James, 39, who previously played on the 2004, 2008, and 2012 men’s Olympic basketball teams. His team won the bronze medal in 2004 and gold medals in 2008 and 2012.

“For a kid from Akron, this responsibility means everything to not only myself, but to my family, all the kids in my hometown, my teammates, fellow Olympians and so many people across the country with big aspirations,” James said after being chosen for flagbearer. “Sports have the power to bring us all together, and I’m proud to be a part of this important moment.”

The Associated Press reported that James was nominated by fellow Olympic basketball player and Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry. Curry is participating in the Olympics for the first time despite being a four-time NBA champion and two-time NBA Most Valuable Player.

“We understand how much of an honor it is to be in that position, and I think Bron’s entire career, on and off the court, speaks for itself as him being worthy of that honor,” Curry announced in the video to nominate James.

“He has represented what it means to be excellent both on and off the court in his commitment to service and to uplifting the community in all ways that he knows how has been a lifelong passion,” Curry said. “And the work speaks for itself.”

The female flagbearer for the U.S. Olympic team will be announced on Tuesday, the Associated Press reported.

Former President Donald Trump called Helen Comperatore on Tuesday to offer his condolences over the death of her husband, Corey.

Corey Comperatore was the man killed during the assassination attempt at Trump’s political rally on Saturday. He was 50 years old and survived by his wife and two daughters. He was a former fire chief and volunteer fireman in Butler County. He was killed while shielding his family from the gunfire that was intended to assassinate Donald Trump.

She posted about Trump’s phone call on her Facebook account, according to the New York Post. 

“He was very kind and said he would continue to call me in the days and weeks ahead,” she said.

“I told him the same thing I told everyone else. He left this world a hero and God welcomed him in. He did not die in vain that day,” she said. 

On Monday, it was reported that President Joe Biden attempted to contact her and offer his condolences. She declined to speak to him, however, saying that she was a Trump supporter, as was her husband. 

“I didn’t talk to Biden,” Comperatore said. “I didn’t want to talk to him. My husband was a devout Republican, and he would not have wanted me to talk to him.” 

She elaborated on why she decided not to talk to Biden. She claimed she did not have any ill will toward Biden; she just preferred not to talk to him and was apolitical.

“I don’t have any ill will toward Joe Biden,” she told the Post. “I’m not one of those people that gets involved in politics.”

“I support Trump. That’s who I’m voting for, but I don’t have ill will toward Biden,” Comperatore said. “He didn’t do anything bad to my husband. A 20-year-old despicable kid did.”

The widow of the victim that was killed during the assassination attempt at the Trump rally on Saturday refused a phone call from President Joe Biden. 

Corey Comperatore, 50, tragically lost his life on Saturday when a would-be assassin tried to murder Donald Trump during a campaign rally on Saturday in Butler, Pa. Comperatore died shielding his family from bullets.

Biden reportedly tried to contact Corey’s widow, Helen, to offer his condolences, the New York Post reported. She rejected the call. 

“I didn’t talk to Biden,” Comperatore said. “I didn’t want to talk to him. My husband was a devout Republican, and he would not have wanted me to talk to him.”

Comperatore was a beloved figure in his community. The father of two daughters was the former fire chief for Buffalo Township in Butler County in Pennsylvania. A friend of the family raved about Comperatore’s courage and character. 

“It’s just so typical of him, the way it all happened, with protecting his wife and his daughter and just throwing himself on top of them when they hear the shooting,” said Eileen Shamanski, a family friend whose children played sports with Comperatore’s daughters.

“He was an all-around good guy who was always there to lend a hand and support not just his own children but all the other kids who were friends of their girls and on the team,” she said in an interview with Fox News. “He had a just give it your all attitude, a lot of kids respected him for that, just always being there supporting, giving those pep talks to get them going. It’s going to be a big loss.”

Regarding her husband, Helen Comperatore also mentioned how brave he was. She told the Post that her family was looking forward to the event and that it was supposed to be an “exciting” day to support their favorite presidential candidate, but instead ended in tragedy.

She described how her husband lept into action to shield and protect his family, shouting “get down” when shots were fired, according to the New York Post.

When Biden called, Comperatore declined to take his call.

“I don’t have any ill will towards Joe Biden,” she told the Post. “I’m not one of those people that gets involved in politics.”

“I support Trump. That’s who I’m voting for, but I don’t have ill will towards Biden,” Comperatore said. “He didn’t do anything bad to my husband. A 20-year-old despicable kid did.”
