U.S. Olympic Men's Basketball Team Members Surprise Kids in Harlem

HARLEM, NY — The U.S. Olympic Men's Basketball made a pit stop in Harlem before shipping out to Brazil for the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janiero.

Stars from the NBA such as Klay Thompson, Jimmy Butler and native New Yorker and current Knicks star Carmelo Anthony, made a surprise appearance Monday at Rucker Park.

And for kids lucky enough to be at the park on the fateful day, it was a big deal.

The team was in Harlem to show off its snazzy new uniforms at the Dunlevy Milbank Center, but some team members took the trip uptown to shoot around at Rucker Park.

Here are some more pictures and videos that the NBA posted to it's Instagram account.
