Men's 5x5 basketball at the Olympics has been an event long dominated by Team USA.
The Americans have won 16 of the 20 Olympic gold medals in 5x5 basketball since the event made its debut at the 1936 Berlin Olympics as a medal sport. Team USA has won gold in the past four Olympic games and seven of the last eight.
The only Olympic Games in which Team USA did not medal in men's 5x5 basketball was in the 1980 Moscow Olympics, when the U.S. boycotted the Games over the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan.
Here's a list of the every single medal awarded in men's 5x5 basketball at the Olympics:
