Following the game, Anthony, who has been a part of four different Team USA squads (the 2004 team embarrassingly won bronze while the '08, '12 and '16 teams all won gold), did an interview with NBC.

Anthony, 32, teared up while talking about what being a part of Team USA means to him.

Congrats, Melo.
