not slumming it

Team USA basketball players live in lap of luxury on cruise liner at Olympics

The stars who are on million dollar salaries are living life on the ocean wave while other athletes put up with small rooms and bad smells in village in Rio

TEAM USA's basketball teams are living it up in luxury on a cruise ship in Rio, while the rest of the athletes slum it in the Olympic Village.

Thanks to their sponsor, Cisco, they are enjoying life on the ocean wave, staying on the Silver Cloud, which has been moored in the harbour of the Brazilian city.

The players have been posting pictures of the luxurious nine-deck liner on social media, no doubt making the rest of the team green with envy.

 Some of the women's basketball players uploaded photos of themselves enjoying the bar on Thursday sipping drinks and soaking up the sun.

Chicago Sky star Elena Delle Donne captioned her shot: "Livin' the dream!", which she posed for with teammates Brittney Griner and Angel McCoughtry.

McCoughtry enjoyed some pool time with her girlfriend, actress Brande Elise on the ship - and the couple soaked up some sunshine.
