In a more competitive Olympic Games this year, Team USA finds themselves in the semifinal round against Team Spain. The U.S. team has managed to remain undefeated so far, but a loss now would be at the worst time. In order to win Olympic gold, they must secure these next two wins in the tournament.

Funnily enough, some of the Team USA athletes do not take the opportunity to compete against the world's best for granted. Chicago Bulls leader Jimmy Butler anticipates a heated matchup against Spain but is excited to at least compete against teammate Nikola Mirotic.

“Any matchup is fun, but definitely when you're going against somebody who's on your NBA team,” Butler told Sam Amick of USA Today. “It'll be a nice matchup … I hope I get switched out onto him (on defense).”

With the trash talk already ensuing, the semifinal round against Team Spain is looking to be an intense one. They managed to cruise by Argentina in a 105-78 win yesterday, and hope to bring the same momentum to close out the Spaniards.
