Special NBC Olympics correspondent Snoop Dogg has been all over the Games, carrying the torch, getting a swim lesson from Michael Phelps, traveling by bus and train with the U.S. men’s basketball team.
“Man, this is a grind out here,” Snoop told NBC’s Mike Tirico on Wednesday’s prime-time Paris Games broadcast. “But I’m having so much fun.”
“Mike, I may be the MVP of the Olympics, just saying,” Snoop said.

Snoop joined the men’s basketball team on its bus and train journey down to Lille, where group phase games are being played.
It’s only natural that the hip-hop icon would play music while traveling with some of the best NBA players in America who are now in the Olympics. But Father Time waits for no one.
He at first played the “Super Fly” soundtrack, a classic by Curtis Mayfield released in 1972.
“LeBron, naturally, nodded his head, because he understands old school,” Snoop said.
“But I had to switch it up, I had to put on some rap, because [22-year-old Timberwolves player] Anthony Edwards was sitting right next to me, and he’s not moving. Let me get him to move,” Snoop said.
Snoop said that even though the men’s basketball players are on competing teams in the NBA, “I felt a lot of brotherhood, of camaraderie. I felt them ego-checking themselves at the door.”
“I think they know what this is. They know that this team was put together reminiscent of ‘The Dream Team,’ the spirit of having the best of the best represent the country,” he said. “It’s not about me; it’s about we.”
