Even without a gold medal draped around his neck, Snoop Dogg has been one of the big winners of the 2024 Summer Olympics.
Snoop’s commentary on the Olympic Games in Paris has been priceless, and he completed another more familiar side quest on Monday night (Aug. 5), when he performed at the USA Basketball 50th anniversary party co-hosted by Comcast NBCUniversal.
A Celebration of Olympic Basketball party was held at the Palais Brongniart, which has been doubling as the Team USA House, ahead of the knockout round set to begin for the men’s team on Tuesday (Aug. 6) against Brazil, while the women’s team will take the court on Wednesday (Aug. 7) in the quarterfinal.
The hoop stars were in attendance, with LeBron James, Steph Curry, Anthony Edwards, A’ja Wilson, Diana Taurasi and more in the building. Even NFL legend Tom Brady made an appearance, as well as Team USA alums Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony and Sue Bird.
Snoop took the stage rocking a shirt featuring A’ja Wilson in her No. 9 USA jersey to perform hits such as Billboard Hot 100-topping anthem “Drop It Like It’s Hot” and he even covered Next’s “Too Close.” Eventually, some members of Team USA even joined him on stage to take part in the festivities.
Led by James, Kevin Durant and Curry, the men’s team is seeking a fifth consecutive gold medal at the Olympics. After dismantling Puerto Rico 104-83 in the final game of group play, Team USA looks to take it up a few notches in the quarterfinal game against Brazil on Tuesday (Aug. 6), where the Americans stand as heavy favorites (-26.5) to advance to the semis.
As for the women’s team, the ladies are in hot pursuit of their eighth gold medal in a row at the 2024 Olympics. They’ll suit up against Nigeria — who made it out of group play for the first time in the country’s history — on Wednesday (Aug. 7) in the quarterfinal.
Snoop continues to live his best life at the Olympics. He perused the Louvre Museum, swam with Michael Phelps and got up close with horses alongside his buddy Martha Stewart, when he dropped an equestrian freestyle.
