The USA's semi-final victory against Serbia on Tuesday will undoubtedly go down as one of the greatest Olympic basketball games in history, if not the greatest. (The 2008 USA/Spain gold medal game could also be considered for that title.)

Eventually we will turn our attention to France and the gold medal game, but we need to savor what we just witnessed. Revel in it. Games played with this passion and at this level are all too rare. The people involved recognized that, as did the basketball world.

Here are just some of the reactions from Paris, as well as from the basketball world.

Steve Kerr: "One of the greatest basketball games I’ve ever been a part of. Humbled by being part of it."

Kevin Durant on former teammate Stephen Curry: "That was a godlike performance. God was with him tonight. It was one of the greatest games I’ve ever seen him play."

"This is the most fun I've had in a very long time."
