A day after Team USA's women captured gold, the American men beat Serbia 94-64 in the Gold medal game. There were moments throughout the tournament when it seemed like the team was bound for collapse. However, when it mattered most, they rallied and dominated. After winning gold, they shared the moment on social media. For Carmelo Anthony, this was likely the last time he'll put on the Team USA jersey.

For others like Boogie Cousins and Jimmy Butler, this experience will hopefully lead to more Olympic gold medals. 

Each player had a different journey to the Olympics. For some of them, the Olympics were a pipe dream due to their childhoods. There's no way contextualize these captions so I'll let the players speak for themselves.
