U.S.A. males’s basketball caught its 5th successive Olympic gold medal with a 98-87 triumph over France in the gold medal video game on Saturday.
After the gamers got their hard-earned gold medals and finished their media accessibility, the celebration was on to commemorate the amazing accomplishment.
There was just one location the group might pop their champagne bottles to commemorate the success, and it was on the Paris actions where the lineup filled with NBA stars took their renowned group image previously in the Olympic video games.
Here’s the photo that was taken after the United States beat Serbia to advance to the gold medal video game.

The United States will compete for their 6th gold medal in a row on home soil when the Summer Games head to Los Angeles in 2028. While LeBron James and Kevin Durant might (or might not) belong to the lineup, anticipate much of the stars on this year’s lineup to go back to the fold as soon as again.
