Carmelo Anthony: Bogdan Bogdanović Was 'Showing Love' With USA-Serbia Celebrations

10-time NBA All-Star and USA Basketball legend Carmelo Anthony confirmed that there isn't any animosity between himself and Bogdan Bogdanović following a heated semifinal clash between Serbia and Team USA in the Paris Olympics.

With Anthony in attendance, Bogdanović used his signature celebration after hitting a three-pointer against the United States.

"He was showing love," Anthony explained on his podcast, 7PM in Brooklyn. "I really wanted to cheer, he knocked that three down like that. I'm like, I can't show no emotion."

Bogdanović helped Serbia jump out to a 17-point lead, hitting Anthony's signature "Three to the Dome" celebration in the second quarter.

While the gesture was ultimately complimentary, the U.S. men's basketball team didn't take it lightly at the time. LeBron James seemed to discuss the celebration with Bogdanović, while Devin Booker gave a shoutout to Anthony on his Instagram story after the United States stormed back to earn a 95-91 victory.

However, the mutual respect between Anthony and Bogdanović was revealed when the Atlanta Hawks guard posted a shoutout from the former scoring champion. Anthony was also in attendance during Serbia's victory over Germany in the bronze medal game, congratulating Bogdanović afterwards.

While they previously faced off in Olympic competition during the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games, it doesn't appear that there is any lingering hostility between the two.
