PARIS - Mason Parris rubbed shoulders with some big names in sport and entertainment as the 2024 Summer Olympics got underway with the Opening Ceremony on Friday. 

The Lawrenceburg native took a picture with NBA legend and Team USA flag bearer LeBron James as Team USA floated down the Seine River. 

Parris was also seen pictured with Snoop Dogg, who was a ceremonial torchbearer for the Summer Games. 

Parris is a star in his own right as a National Champion wrestler and Team USA's representative in the Men's Freestyle 125 kg, which will be contested August 9-10.
