Snoop Dogg shines at 2024 Paris Olympics USA basketball celebration

Snoop Dogg's performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics continues to be a hit.

The rapper, known for his diverse roles and interests, delivered an outstanding performance on Monday night during the 50th-anniversary celebration of USA Basketball.

Wilson, along with Team USA men’s and women’s basketball players like LeBron James, Diana Taurasi, and Stephen Curry, attended the event. Snoop even brought players, including Brittney Griner, on stage to hand out gifts.

The Celebration of Olympic Basketball also featured appearances from retired athletes across various sports, including Dwyane Wade, Sue Bird, and Tom Brady.

The star-studded event occurred before the men’s and women’s teams’ quarterfinal games on August 6 and 7, where both teams aim to maintain their gold medal streaks—the fifth consecutive for the men and the eighth for the women.

While Snoop wowed the crowd at Monday’s event, it’s not the only place he has been impressing audiences.

“When the lights are on, that’s when I shine the best,” he recently told the Associated Press about his performance covering the Olympics. “This opportunity was nothing but a chance for me to show the world what it’s supposed to look like when you put the right person in the right environment.”

Besides spending time with athletes as one of NBC’s primetime correspondents, Snoop has entertained global audiences by swimming with Michael Phelps, cheering with the families of USA gymnasts, and attending equestrian events with his longtime friend Martha Stewart.
