Congrats to the Men's Basketball Team for winning the Gold Medal. Very early I said they wouldn't medal and they sure proved me wrong. This wasn't a strong USA Men's team but they (Kevin Durrant) did what was necessary to win the Gold.

Credit to Pop and his coaching staff for continually bringing this team around to gold medal form. We are long past the time when the US could just show up at the Olympics after a few weeks of practice and win gold without breaking a sweat.

After a somewhat shaky start, the US improved each and every game. KD is simply the best MBB player in the world.

Congrats, Gentlemen! You fought, valiantly. Some didn’t think that you could succeed, let alone medal, but you persevered and brought home the GOLD. I’m glad that you didn’t listen to the background noise. ;)

During one of the games, the announcer said that three of the players, forget who, played in the NBA final, got on to a plane right after the game, then played again that night in the first exhibition game. No wonder they lost - no practice, no time to build chemistry, and no rest.

The 3 were Middleton, Booker and Holiday.
