Another reason the rest of the world will loathe Team USA.

As leaking pipes and exposed wiring — to name two disasters — continue to plague the athletes settling into their digs at Rio’s Olympic Village, Carmelo Anthony and his teammates will be resting their heads at night aboard a luxurious liner.

The Daily Mail reported on Wednesday that the Silversea Silver Cloud will house the US men’s and women’s basketball teams throughout the Games. The 196-cabin, nine-deck supership boasts 7-foot beds and access to a pool, spa and shops. Picture Kevin Durant kicking back with his new Warriors teammates on the serene upper decks or Kyrie Irving posting up in the cigar lounge.

To allay rampant security concerns, more than 250 police officers reportedly are stationed to keep an eye on the yacht.

But all is not perfect in the team’s closed-off paradise. Construction has yet to be completed around the Bay of Rio site where the ship is currently docked, including the road into the port, which has been ripped up to be relaid.

Team Australia’s Andrew Bogut will be jealous anyway. The Dallas Mavericks center posted a photo of himself attempting to assemble a shower curtain.

Housing isn’t the only problem athletes have to face at the Rio Olympics:
