The United States mens basketball team had a couple of days off this week, in advance of an Olympic quarterfinal match against Argentina. Some players may have relaxed on the cruise ship housing the mens and womens teams or visited different sites around Rio de Janeiro.But Carmelo Anthony used the opportunity to visit the favelas -- or shantytowns -- of Rio during his time off.Anthony, who recently expressed displeasure via Instagram over how some have interpreted comments he made about his career, seems at peace during his visit.His Instagram post includes the caption: I discovered that what most people call creepy, scary, and spooky, I call comfy, cozy, and home.The caption is perhaps a reference to Anthonys upbringing. As a young child, he lived in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn before he and his family moved to West Baltimore. He has spoken about the poverty he was surrounded by as a child and teenager.Anthony also took part in a local game of pickup hoops:The favelas are the poorest sections of Rio, often plagued by violence. NPR recently reported that on average, 4.8 people have been wounded by gunfire in Rio each day during the Olympics.Anthony seemed at ease during his visit to the favelas, which he also documented via video on Snapchat. Love is real in the favelas, he said.?Anthony and Team USA return to the court Wednesday to face Argentina.

Denmarks Thorbjorn Olesen will take a commanding seven-shot lead into the final round of the £5.7million Turkish Airlines Open in pursuit of the first seven-figure payday of his career.Olesen was six clear at the halfway stage thanks to a stunning second round of 62, the 26-year-old setting a new course record with eight birdies, an eagle and a bogey at the Regnum Carya Golf & Spa Resort.And, although he was unsurprisingly unable to reproduce such fireworks on Saturday, a third round of 68 took him to 18 under par and into the biggest 54-hole lead of the season by two shots.Englands David Horsey, Italys Matteo Manassero, American David Lipsky, Austrias Bernd Wiesberger and Chinas Li Haotong made up a cosmopolitan chasing pack on 11 under, with South Africas George Coetzee and Thailands Thongchai Jaidee a shot further back.The first prize of just over 1 million euros (nearly $1.2 million) eclipses Olesens previous biggest cheque of 700,000 euros for winning his third European Tour title in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship last year.Its not about the money, said Olesen, whose lead was down to four shots following a bogey on the 10th before he produced a hat-trick of birdies from the 14th.This is the Final Series and its a massive event and obviously it would be great to win it. Theres still 18 holes left and I really have to stay concentrated out there and stay in my own little zone.Ive never had a seven-shot lead. I felt a bit nervous when I went out today also because Ive never been that many shots clear. Its a biit of a weird feeling, but I know its not easy and theres a bunch of guys there and its possible to shoot a really low one out here.ddddddddddddI need to stay aggressive tomorrow and keep plugging away.Horsey admitted the chasing pack will need some help from Olesen on Sunday to claim an unlikely victory, but has not given up hope of securing his fifth European Tour title.Realistically we are going to need something drastic to happen on his part for us to have a chance, but you never know, the 31-year-old said after his 68.Ive just got to go very low and make a lot of birdies. He seems to be in control of his game and ultimately weve got to try and put some pressure on him somehow and hopefully hell falter.But at the end of the day we cant control what he does and just have to go out there and try to shoot a score and see what happens at the end of the day.Its fantastic that weve got these events at the end of the year to really make a difference. If you do well in them, you can really boost your Race to Dubai position and your world rankings. Its a nice time of year to start playing well and hopefully we continue it, not just tomorrow but into the next couple of events.Masters champion Danny Willett, who needs to finish fifth or better to reclaim top spot in the Race to Dubai from Henrik Stenson, is joint 48th after carding four birdies and one bogey in a 68, his lowest round of the week.
