It seemed that Melo was especially proud of this Olympic team as he held back tears in the post-game interview Sunday. “Despite everything that’s going on right now in our country, we gotta be united,” Anthony said.
“America will be great again, I believe that,” Anthony added. Thanks to him and the rest of Team USA, our greatness cannot be disputed on the basketball court.
