More on this storyline
Devin Booker wasn’t cool with Bogdan Bogdanovic doing Carmelo Anthony’s signature three-point sign with the three-time Olympic champion sitting courtside during Team USA’s 95-91 Thursday win over Serbia in the 2024 Paris Olympics men’s basketball semifinals. So he took to his Instagram and posted a picture of himself doing the sign with a caption, “Respect the legends” with Anthony’s Instagram tag. -via Arizona Republic / August 9, 2024

Q. Are the New York Knicks winning the title? Carmelo Anthony: I don’t want to guarantee that, but I do believe that they situated and set themselves up to be right there with Boston and Philly. Now what we do with that is totally different because you still have to go through Boston, you still got to be Boston, but I think everybody else got better and the Knicks got better. We ain’t worried about nobody else in the East. We’re worrying about Boston, that’s it. -via YouTube / August 9, 2024
Ball Don’t Lie: Team USA after their win over Serbia 😤 (via @DevinBook) pic.x.com/ea1i45z1ap -via Twitter @Balldontlie / August 8, 2024
Gerald Bourguet: Devin Booker is now a team-best +112 through 10 games for Team USA. The next-closest is Steph Curry at +82. Kevin Durant, despite only playing in 5 games for the US, is tied with LeBron James for 3rd at +77 -via Twitter @GeraldBourguet / August 8, 2024
With 3:40 left in the second quarter, the Atlanta Hawks guard hit a three over Anthony Edwards to give Serbia a 47-32 lead. Bogdanovic then mimicked Carmelo Anthony’s “three to the dome” celebration and began trash talking the former US Olympian, who happened to be sitting courtside. Even LeBron James took exception to Bogdanovic taunting his 2003 NBA Draft classmate. From that point on, Team USA outscored Serbia 63-44 to pull off a 95-91 come-from-behind win. Bogdanovic’s trash talk became a huge talking point on social media during and after the game. -via Larry Brown Sports / August 9, 2024
