The US men’s basketball team has been spared no expense with the superstars to be housed on a luxury cruise ship during their time in Rio.
They will reside on the Silver Cloud, a mammoth beast which can accommodate up to 400 people in its 196 cabins.
The women’s basketball team is also staying there.
The ship docked at the city’s port at the weekend.
But fans will not get anywhere the ship with heavy security deployed around the vessel.
A fence made of bulletproof material has also been constructed with 250 Federal Police officers standing guard at all times.
