The semifinal basketball game between Serbia and Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics had plenty of dramatic twists and turns.

Following the game, the American players were very proud to overcome a big deficit and beat Serbia.

U.S. star Devin Booker couldn’t help but poke a bit of fun at Bogdan Bogdanovic.

During the game, Bogdanovic replicated Carmelo Anthony’s iconic on-court celebration.

On Instagram, per ClutchPoints, Booker posted an image of both him and Bogdanovic doing the celebration with the caption, “Respect the legends.”

When Bogdanovic duplicated Anthony’s iconic gesture, his team was up in a big way and looked on its way to victory.

But a lot changed for Serbia in a short amount of time.

After struggling for three quarters, Team USA woke up in the fourth quarter and authored a huge comeback.

They corrected their mistakes, picked up the speed, and started playing with more energy and cohesion.

After being down by double digits, the Americans won by four points (95-91).

It was a stunning rally for the team and a disappointing collapse by Serbia.

Bogdanovic played very well throughout the game, as did multiple other Serbian stars.

But they were all outsmarted and outplayed by Team USA head coach Steve Kerr.

Now the U.S. team is a single win away from claiming the gold medal.

Anthony was on hand to witness his friends and fellow Americans beat Serbia.

He was likely very happy to see Booker do his signature move after helping the team rally.
