The Rio Olympics are about to begin, and Team USA basketball is going to get to enjoy these games in style.
Like every Olympics since 1992, USA basketball will not be housed in the Olympic village. Security issues are too serious for that.
Usually the team ends up staying in a posh hotel in the host city, but this time it’s going to be slightly different.
Instead of a luxury hotel in the heart of the city, the team is going to stay on a floating hotel in a major port.
The Silver Cloud is a cruise ship that gets the honor of housing members of both the Team USA men’s basketball team as well as the women’s squad.
