Team USA beat Serbia 110-84 in their Group C game at Stade Pierre Mauroy in Lille, France on Sunday for the Paris Olympics, and nearly everyone from the team was having fun.
Joel Embiid had four points and 2 rebounds in 11 minutes. He also had an and-1 opportunity in the third quarter when he was fouled but still made the bucket. Anthony Edwards was on the bench at the time but pumped up for his teammate.
Edwards celebrated by doing the crotch chop Embiid has done on the court.
Joel Embiid with the And-1 & immediately tells the dude who flopped & grabbed his face about it
Also peep Ant Edwards with the bench reaction lmao
THIS is what America is all about pic.twitter.com/nhKptbvT2d

Though Embiid had that good moment, he was a -8 for the U.S. in the game. Edwards scored 11 points in 19 minutes off the bench. He might just be the team’s morale booster, on top of also being one of its best players.
