OT: Team USA basketball teams staying away from Olympic Village

With all the issues in Rio and the Village - its no wonder they will be staying aboard a luxury cruise ship.

No Dorms For U.S. Basketball Teams; They'll Stay On A Cruise Ship In Rio

To be fair, the US basketball team never stays in the dorms. Those guys are loaded. Why would they?

Maybe this is a first for the women's teams though...

The real question is, who gets the Grand Suite?

Cruise ship. Hmm.. A trade-off btwn zika and a massive case of the trots. Then again, the way things are on shore, you'll probably get both there.

Has USA men's basketball ever stayed in Olympic village? Guess if I just read the article I would know it was 1988.

The women's team always stays on the boat too.
