If there is one Olympic sport the United States is likely to place in, its basketball. Coming off a gold medal winner in 2012, the 2014 team boasted the likes of Derrick Rose and Demarcus Cousins. Â The USA cruised to another gold medal win with pretty convincing wins over most of their competitors. Â Some of the team’s wins include a 114-55 win over Finland and a 129-92 win in the gold medal round over Serbia,
Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving was named MVP. Â Kevin Durant was originally a member of Team USA, but dropped out after seeing teammate Paul George break his leg during a scrimmage in training camp for Team USA. Â It was one of the most gruesome sports injuries in recent history. Many players tweeted out their support for George. Â His roster spot was replaced by Rudy Gay.
