Feel soooooo bad for Lou Lou Lou. She will get her shot!

Congrats to our 3 X 3 Champs!!!!!

 

[Plebe]

OMG I would have loved to be in that room watching the 3x3 with the 5x5 team! Imagine the commentary.

 

[JellyBean]

Saw that Team USA WBB 3x3 made it to the Finals! Great work, ladies. Keep it going. I am a huge fan of the 3x3 game. Love the rules and the pace. I got my team playing 3x3 every day over the summer. Whenever they get in the gym, we are working on fundamentals for 20-30 minutes and then I let them battle it out in some 3x3 with the FIBA rules, shot clock and all!

Is there a link for the replay?

 

[JellyBean]

Well dang. Thanks to Instagram. Now I need to go watch the Gold match up game. This is why I love 3x3...quick.

 

[Carnac]

Well, their work is done. Goal (gold) achieved. Here are 4 proud and happy young ladies that can return home……no doubt smiling all the way back. Win or lose….America is proud of you ladies!!!

Loving watching the replays. Didn't realize how dominate Stef has been. Plum looked quick; Gray lost at times.

 

[eebmg]

Would love to see this on video

But this gold distinguishes Dolson: the first at a new Olympic sport. Dolson, who overcame a bout with COVID-19 last year, goes by the nickname "Big Mama Stef" and put the gold medals around her teammates' necks in the medal ceremony.

I am very impressed with Plum and Alisha, and not surprised by Stef's ability to lead the team. I do not think they can take the top medal, Young is too inexperienced and has an incomplete game for the 3 x 3.

I'm glad I was wrong about winning the Gold....not wrong about Young.

Question about Gray. Does she wear the goggles as they are prescription glasses to see, or are they worn as protection for a previous eye injury?
I believe she played a shift, or two, without the glasses on today. It could have been the sweat getting on the glasses and not being able to get them dry. Playing outdoors in the heat and humidity is not the same as indoors in a climate controlled arena.

 

[clbabson]

If Gray was lost, what do you call Young? Absent?

They won a gold medal and yet you still have to dig on Jackie Young. She was on vacation and came to help fill a void last-minute and she hasn't played 3 on 3 in awhile. She should be appreciated for that - end of story.

Not sure if it's the ND thing or what, but get over it.

Had fate not stepped in and dealt Katie Lou a crushing blow, that count would have been 11. Its got to be heart breaking for Lou to see her team win gold, receive their medals and recognition for doing so, and not be part of it. Winning a gold medal and posing for pictures is a moment you remember the rest of your life. No doubt indorsement opportunities await these ladies upon their return home.

No one ever suggested life is fair. This is a glaring example. I'm hoping that Lou will get another chance in 2024 to be selected as an Olympian, and a chance to medal.

 

[UcMiami]

Just remembered Ann Strother stepped in to win the first WC Gold medal played in 2012 when another player was injured - she was 3 year removed from pro ball at that point I believe and a surprise choice.

It is my point of view, not yours...there is nothing to get over.

When you harp on an individual player like that, even after she's won the gold...there's something else there. I don't really care enough to argue with you about it, but I do think she deserves some damn respect.
