Everyone wanted to get a look at history, including the U.S. men’s basketball team. Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony were among those cheering on Phelps from poolside seats. Phelps will compete in 3 more events going for a record 8 gold medals in one Olympics. He’ll swim in the 200 individual medley, 100 fly and 400 medley relay.
