Jimmy Fallon, Sha'Carri Richardson and Carmelo Anthony were in attendance for USA basketball's men's gold medal game vs. France on Saturday - as a host of other hoops legends also made the trip. The trio sat courtside together at the Bercy Arena, with former NBA (and Olympics) star Anthony representing his country with a USA hat. There was plenty more basketball talent at the event, as Bulls legend Scottie Pippen was seen chatting with ex-Lakers center Pau Gasol, while French ex-point guard Tony Parker could be seen there as well.

British cyclist Mark Cavendish will likely retire after finishing the final stage of the Tour de France on Sunday, having finally achieved his ambition this year of breaking the all-time record for most stage wins at the Tour. As such, the Tour paid tribute to one of its finest ever sprinters with a special commemorative jersey paying homage to his new record of 35 stage wins in a single Tour.  A black jersey with 'CAXXXV' emblazoned across the front - a play on words with 'Cav' his nickname and 'XXXV' the roman numeral for 35 - was handed to him by French-American basketball legend Tony Parker in Nice on Sunday evening. 

DOMINIC KING IN CHANTILLY: Ramatuelle is owned by a consortium that is headed by basketball legend Tony Parker. Murphy, a three-time champion jockey whose main role is first rider for Qatar Racing, has a link to the consortium and they want to utilise his expertise around Ascot in the Coronation Stakes next Friday. Aurelien Lemaitre rode Ramatuelle when she was an unlucky loser in the QIPCO 1000 Guineas last month, with some criticising the fact he sent the filly to the front too soon. She eventually finished third, less than half-a-length behind Elmalka, the 28/1 winner. Elmalka will run in the Coronation Stakes, as will Fallen Angel, who won the Irish 1000 Guineas, and Rouhiya, who took the French equivalent. Aidan O'Brien also intends to run Opera Singer, last season's champion juvenile filly.

DOMINIC KING IN CHANTILLY: That, though, is going to change dramatically next week when the biggest flat meeting of the year will be illuminated with the biggest challenge from across The Channel this decade and excitement is building that they will annexe the biggest prizes. Ahead of the Royal meeting, Horse Power spent a morning on the gallops in Chantilly picking up the latest intelligence and discovered that hopes are soaring that a five-year run without a Gallic success in Ascot will be brought to a spectacular end. These are five horses to follow closely.

One is the NBA legend who is on a mission to spread the word of racing; the other is a true footballing great, every inch a thoroughbred. Tony Parker and Thierry Henry have formed a firm friendship down the years and they will break new ground together on Sunday when heading to Newmarket to watch the 1000 Guineas, the second Classic of the English flat season. Parker - who owns Ramatuelle, a leading candidate for the 1000 Guineas - has been determined to bring famous faces in racing and a couple of years ago convinced Formula One driver Charles Leclerc to buy a share in a horse.

Plenty of Hollywood stars are quite short - under 5ft5in, that is - but it's hard to tell in front of the camera because they are styled to look statuesque. Platform heels, finely tailored clothing and slender frames help deceive the eye into thinking they have height when they hit the spotlight at events. On screen they may look larger than life as well, as the camera shoots them in certain ways.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Federic Donnadieu, Victor Wembanyama's first coach, has been invited by the French phenom to attend the NBA Draft in Brooklyn on Thursday, but she spoke to DailyMail.com ahead of the meeting to discuss the phenom. Donnadieu was serving as the technical director at Nanterre in Paris in 2014, when a lanky 10-year-old boy signed up to play for the Under-11s. 'Well, my first memory was when I saw him, and of course, for a 10-year-old boy, he was obviously already tall, but what I noticed most was that he had a lot of technical capability,' Donnadieu said.

Projected No. 1 (no.) Victor Wembanyama, the top pick of the LNB Pro A's championship series, lost Game 3 of the LNB Pro A's championship series 92-85. With 22 points, seven rebounds, and four blocks, Wembanyama put on a good showing, but it wasn't enough to keep his team from being swept. Game 3 - and 4 if they had won - were changed from a 4,000-seat venue to Court Philippe Chatrier at Roland Garros, home to the French Open tennis championship, which has more than 14,000.

Presumptive No. 0 has no reason to complain. Victor Wembanyama, the top draft pick, led his team to victory in the LNB Pro A semifinals over his former team ASVEL on Sunday. In Metropolitans 92's victory, the 7-foot-4 phenom scored 15 points, eight rebounds, two assists, five blocks, and a steam. Wembanyama used to play for ASVEL, a team currently coached by Basketball Hall-of-Fame bound Tony Parker.

Since the lottery ended on Tuesday, staff members have been working around the clock, with several Spurs fans excited about the team's creation of 'Wemby' on June 22. Frank Miceli, the chief revenue officer of Spurs Sports & Entertainment, told KSAT, 'We were here until midnight last night, checking phones and making sure people's deposits, the website was working properly, and everybody was back at it at 7:30 a.'

Victor Wembanyama, France's top export, is poised to replace wine as France's top export, a 7-foot-4 basketball sensation. He's athletic, skilled, vast, and yet only 19, so the winning team will undoubtedly be considered very lucky as the league selects its first pick on Tuesday night in New York. It's either way or not Wembanyama will feel the same way. The 14 teams in Tuesday's lottery aren't all positive, and that's by design. The lottery is supposed to enhance the league's bottom feeders by (slightly) deterring them from tanking their seasons in an attempt to land a top talent in the draft, such as Wembanyama. Mail Online's preview of Wembanyama's 14 future teams, how he'd fit, and what these clubs need to do to attract the NBA's most coveted prospect in a generation.

According to reports, Dwyane Wade and Dirk Nowitzki are among the six individuals who will attend the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2023.

Popovich, the San Antonio Spurs' winning coach, and Dwyane Wade, both players on three championship teams with the Miami Heat, are also on the list.

'It will be a fantastic time,' Nowitzki said. 'I mean, to top everything that has happened here in the last couple years, as well as words and awards that have come my way,' i'm sure, with the highest quality in our game ever.' The 1976 Olympic women's squad, the 1982 Cheyney University women's basketball team, and University of Miami head coach Jim Larraaga are among the nominees on the first ballot list.
