A well written and thoiughtful article about USA Teams off the court experiences in competition this summer.
USA Basketball gold medalists share memories from FIBA U17 World Cup, FIBA Americas U18 Championship
"After the win against France, the Americans rode the bus back to their team hotel. When they got close, Jones and her teammates noticed a crowd gathered outside in front of the hotel.
"These girls are pointing at us and seem to be screaming," said Jones, who was named to the all-tournament team. "We're like, 'What's happening? Why are they pointing at us?' "
Once they got off the bus, the U.S. players recognized many of their opponents from the tournament, including athletes from China, Mali, Latvia and Japan.
"U-S-A! U-S-A!" came the serenade."
What probably was going on there is suggested elsewhere in the article. Stranges part of the piece for me is Jordan Horston's saying : " "It was amazing to experience that tour with this group of girls, finding out about the people who fought for our country."
