Team USA had plenty of issues early in its Olympic run, causing many fans and analysts to think perhaps the men’s squad wasn’t going to win gold.
But, the Americans prevailed, beating France 87-82 in the gold medal game at the Tokyo Olympics to keep their streak of golds alive.
Three former Kentucky stars — Devin Booker, Bam Adebayo and Keldon Johnson — were on the team. As you can see below, they got together to show off their gold medals after the game:

The final was a tough one for the trio of Wildcats. Adebayo had the best game of the 3, scoring 6 points to go with 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks and 1 steal. Booker couldn’t get his offensive game going, scoring only 2 points on 0-for-4 shooting. He also had 1 assist and 1 steal. Johnson didn’t play in the gold medal game.
This was a special moment for the former Wildcats and one they won’t soon forget!
