![LeBron James]()
If you're a kid and your dad is doing an old man sort of dance in public, it can be humiliating. In the case of Zhuri James, I think the fact that her father is the one and only LeBron can take some of the edge off.
LeBron's moves could be much worse. It's not like he doesn't have rhythm, nor is he doing any kind of over-the-top moves. But I get it, to the world LeBron is one of the handful of best basketball players to ever do it. To his daughter, he's just dad embarrassing himself in front of many, many people on the Summer Olympics stage.

All's well that ends well, though. LeBron and the rest of the crowd provided the necessary morale boost and patriotic support of Team USA's beach volleyball tandem of Kristen Nuss and Taryn Kloth. They took care of business against China’s Xinyi Xia and Chen Xue to advance to the Round of 16 despite dropping the first set.
This has already been quite the Olympics for LeBron in Paris. It's not really a debate that he's been the best player on Team USA despite being 39 years old, and he's more than lived up to the hype especially considering that he was
one of the United States flag bearers at the opening ceremony. Not everyone can deliver under that kind of scrutiny. Just ask
Coco Gauff, and the rest of the women's American tennis team for that matter.
I have a feeling we'll see LeBron getting his groove on again once the Gold Medal Game is played next Saturday. Anything less than a win in that contest would obviously be a colossal disappointment for the USA's NBA-laden Olympic roster.
LeBron actually saved the 44-point favorite U.S. from an embarrassing exhibition loss to South Sudan.
So don't worry, Zhuri James. Even if you feel like your dad is making you want to Southwest Airlines "Wanna get away?" bail from the Summer Olympics scene, just know that the vast majority of our nation appreciates his basketball skill enough to overlook any flawed choreography.
