Stars from Team USA men's basketball cheer on women's volleyball team in Rio
Durant, Green, Butler, Jordan showed their support for Walsh Jennings and Ross
Shortly after narrowly beating France, several members of Team USA headed to the women's volleyball quarterfinal match to show their support for the USA team of Kerri Walsh Jennings and April Ross.
Waving an American flag and dressed in USA gear, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, Jimmy Butler and DeAndre Jordan vigorously cheered on Jennings and Ross as the duo advanced to the semifinals:

They also joined the rest of the crowd and sang happy birthday to Walsh Jennings:
In true #TeamUSA spirit @USABasketball serenades @kerrileewalsh on her 38th birthday! 🎉🇺🇸 https://t.co/N7AWVOTvgyhttps://t.co/4O0OD5mieR

Making the most of their free time, Team USA has been showing their full support for other athletes on the regular during the Olympics, which is simply pretty cool. Durant and Co. could try and keep a low profile by staying on their massive cruise ship, but instead they are attending events and cheering on other athletes from the U.S.
The Olympics are far from perfect yet the camaraderie and sportsmanship of athletes truly make it a special event.
