USA continues to live up to its reputation as it crushes Nigeria 100-52 with less than 5 minutes into the 3rd quarter.

Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, and Carmelo Anthony are simply too much for the African team that struggled since the beginning of the game.

An easy game for the U.S., LeBron and Kobe were seen chuckling in the bench while their teammates comfortably lead on the floor.
