Two Dallas Mavericks Face-Off in International Matchup

The United States of America basketball squad played their first exhibition game tonight in preparation for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro starting next month. Their opponent from tonight, Argentina, is the only other team to win a Gold Medal in the olympics since the 1988 Seoul Games.

If Argentina is going to be the biggest competition for Team USA, it may be better for the Olympic committee to just give us the gold now and have everyone else battle for silver. Team USA smoked Team Argentina with a final score of 111-74.

Players like Kevin Durant, Paul George, and Carmelo Anthony headline the team for the United States, while guys like Luis Scola, Manu Ginobili, and Carlos Delfino are the most notable Argentinians.
