On the eve of Team USA basketball's showdown with Australia, the team blew off some steam at the pool. Not just any pool, though. The team was in attendance as American swimmers collected three more gold medals Tuesday night, including Michael Phelps' picking up his 21st career gold.

After the races, the stars of Team USA basketball met up with the star of Team USA swimming. Kevin Durant, Deandre Jordan, DeMarcus Cousins and Draymond Green made sure to get a picture with Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all time. The stars of USA basketball made Phelps, who stands at 6-foot-5, look short.
