Summary

Yesterday's Olympic Men's Basketball quarterfinals featured many close games, but USA vs. Brazil was not one of them. Kevin Durant became the all-time leading scorer for an American team, surpassing Lisa Leslie. After France upset Canada, Rudy Gobert's comments left people questioning his understanding of the term "surgery." Plus, Charlotte and Amin hand out more off-court Olympic medals, this time to Jrue Holiday, LeBron James & Tom Brady, and Anthony Edwards. Charlotte and Amin also play Bet the Show and preview the semifinal games happening this Thursday. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
