The USA Basketball team keeps making the best of their days off in Rio. Last week they watched Michael Phelps bring home gold in the 200m freestyle. Today they were getting in a round of beach volleyball.

I honestly thought DeAndre would have a better spike. Wait a minute. Is Boogie playing with a coconut in his hand?
It also appears Team USA got their volleyball inspiration from watching Kerri Walsh Jennings winning on Sunday night.

Stars from their respective sports cheering on the rest of Team USA will always be one of the best parts of the Olympics.
