The U.S. women's Olympic basketball team captured its sixth straight gold medal on Saturday afternoon in Rio de Janeiro, dominating Spain in a convincing 101-72 blowout at Carioca Arena 1.

Their victory captured the attention of several of the NBA's biggest stars, who took to social media shortly after the final buzzer to congratulate the squad on a job well done.

The U.S. men will look to win a gold medal of their own on Sunday against Serbia.
