Mike Tirico (Photo Via x.com)When you’re looking for the best of the best in basketball to represent a country at the Olympics, you go to the NBA to create your roster. That is essentially what Team USA did to develop their basketball team for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
They essentially created a super team, headlined by future NBA Hall of Famers like Lebron James and Steph Curry and led by one of the best head coaches in NBA history, Steve Kerr. It’s no wonder they made the gold medal match-up.
Not only did Team USA make an appearance in the gold medal game, but they also won. The USA took on France in the finals, and the winner would take home gold. With Team USA being a powerhouse during the tournament, there was no question that they would win.
After the win, controversy erupted on one of the many broadcasts that hosted the game, NBC. Host Mike Tirico blatantly mistook the Martinique flag for the Palestinian flag after French player Mike Lessort was seen holding it on the court.

Tirico was cautious after seeing the flag, as he refrained from commenting too much on the hit. After pointing out what he thought was the Palestinian flag, Tirico commented, “We are certainly conscious of any displays regarding the Middle East conflict.”
