    Celebrity row at Bercy Arena might rival celebrity row at Madison Square Garden.

    Second gentleman Doug Emhoff was in Paris to take in Team USA’s gold medal win over France , seated right next to French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte.

    So too were NBC host Jimmy Fallon, American sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson , 1992 Dream Team member Scottie Pippen, former Knicks star Carmelo Anthony, former French point guard Tony Parker and former Lakers star Pau Gasol.

    After taking in the USWNT’s gold medal-winning victory over Brazil earlier in the day, Megan Rapinoe and her fiancée, Sue Bird, managed to get to the basketball game as well.

    The list of those in attendance also included Stephon Marbury — who sat with Anthony and Pippen — and Rapinoe’s former USWNT teammates Ali Krieger and Tobin Heath.

    But Steph Curry took over from there, hitting eight 3-pointers to seal the gold.
