La La Anthony may not have been in Rio for the 2016 Olympics Games, but she was cheering her husband on stateside as he brought home the gold with the U.S. Men’s Basketball team.
During the Games, Carmelo became the first basketball player to ever win three medals. He also broke the records for the most rebounds, points and most games played by any member of Team USA, which makes him the most decorated men’s basketball Olympic player of all-time. Of course, his wife couldn’t be any prouder.
