The 2016 Olympic Games from Rio de Janeiro officially start today, and Team USA basketball is going to enjoy the experience in enhanced style.
Since Team USA basketball began letting professionals attend the Olympic Games in 1992, they haven’t stayed with the other athletes in the Olympic village.
Due to security concerns, they’re kept separate from the other athletes, and experience the most stringent security possible.
They usually stay in a luxury hotel that’s extremely well protected, but for the Rio Games, they will be staying on a docked cruise ship.
The ship is called the “Silver Cloud,” and is essentially a floating hotel where Team USA can prepare for their games in ultimate luxury.
