With 9:12 left in the fourth quarter of the fifth-place game against Puerto Rico, former Dunbar player Jeremis Smith fell and hit his head, rendering him unconscious for a brief period of time.

"I didn't know I was on the ground until I saw everybody standing above me and looking at me," Smith said.

Smith was helped off the court and sat behind the Team USA bench as he recovered.

He returned with 5:21 to play in regulation and connected on a key three-point play in the final minute before fouling out in overtime in Team USA's 108-107 victory.

"Mainly, I wanted to help my team," Smith said. "I didn't want to quit on my team. I got the three-point play and made the free throw like I was supposed to and then my team finished it up from there."

Smith and teammate Anthony Morrow, a fellow Georgia Tech signee, were both named to the All-Global Games Team.

Also note that 28 of 30 NBA teams had representatives at the Games. Ukraine wins the gold, defeating Croatia.
