The U.S. men's basketball team went to Paris with arguably the most talented Olympic roster in the program's history. But on Thursday, a team full of MVPs and future Hall of Famers saw its biggest challenge yet.

Serbia -- led by Nikola Jokic and Bogdan Bogdanovic -- was up by as much as 17 points against the U.S. before Stephen Curry, LeBron James and Joel Embiid helped fuel a fourth-quarter comeback to send Team USA to Saturday's gold medal game. The U.S outscored Serbia by 17 in that fourth quarter, and the emotions of that comeback were on full display when the game ultimately ended in a 95-91 U.S. win.

Given all that went into that comeback, the postgame scenes were electric in Paris with photographers capturing some unbelievable reactions.
