PARIS — Coco Gauff plans to avoid pestering LeBron James when they share flag-bearing duties for the United States during Friday's Olympics opening ceremony along the Seine River. Gauff will heed her tennis teammates' request that she ask the NBA's career leading scorer for some commemorative pins. No problem there. But what Gauff doesn't want to do — excited as she is to meet James — is be a bother. She said Thursday she will not ask James for advice, because she said she is sure he will want to enjoy the experience, too.
