Kobe Bryant led Team USA to victory at the end of game with pure guts and skill. It was classic Kobe hitting shots down the stretch to put Spain and to Rudy Fernandez out of the game to complete a four point play. Without Kobe I really don’t think team USA would have won the game, but must say key rebounds by Leborn James and Spain loosing it cool push the US over the top.
Gold Medal Mission Complete
Team USA came to China on a mission to complete what had eluded USA basketball for eith years. I think the name of Redeem is a understatement. The United States will always have the most talented players, but they don’t grow up dreaming about winning Olympic Gold they grow up wanting to win a NBA championship. Luis Scola was quoted “The Americans have learned how to Play FIBA brand of Basketball”. The keyword Learned. Team USA had to learn how to play a different style of basketball. The international game is physical they play a Detroit Pistons Bad Boy style ball. Team USA KEPT THEIR PROMISE WIN THE GOLD.
Did Team USA Almost Blow It In The Gold Medal Game
People might say Team USA might have also most blew the game, but I beg to differ. Championship games or the last game is the hardest to play. Spain had seven NBA players on their roster going against other NBA players. The US knew it was going to be a tough game. Navarro,Gasol ,Marc Gasol and Ricky Rubio faught hard for Spain and wanted to prove why they were World champs two years ago. I give Spain credit they proved that the 33 point blow out in pool play was not going to happen and gave the world a great show of how basketball should be played against the Americans. So to summarize my statement did Team USA almost blow it no they did not Spain is a really good international team that went out fighting to the end.
The Future Of USA Basketball
I have a question what will USA Basketball be like in the future and are we the King in basketball again. Some will say yes and some will say the rest of worl is still catching up. No matter what your answer was to my question the US will still dominate with the right leadership. Jerry Calangelo and Coach K kept these MEGA Millionaires ego’s in check and has set a new standard for USA Basketball. The future is bright for our men’s senior Basketball program. This will not be a trend and this group of young men has proven that the new generation of NBA players can go out and win the Gold Medal with class and substances. So I would like to thank Team USA Basketball for giving me some of best Basketball I ever seen over the last two weeks. If you like my post please subscribe to my feed.

Team USA managed yet another blow out to send the Aussies home. The first half was tight for the first 19:56. Deron Williams last second three at the end of the first extend the Team USA lead from nine to ten going into second half. Defense also help them turned Australia mistakes into points with a smaller line up on the floor to disrupt the Aussies.
Second Half Shooting Turn Around!
Team USA did not shoot so well in first but came out with back to back threes from Kobe Bryant and Carmelo Anthony to extend the lead to eighteen. By the end of the third quater the US had went on a 34-18 run in the third quater.
Unmatched Defensive Effort
The focused defensive effort was no match for the Australians. They did not score the first five minutes of the third. The Australians also lost Andrew Bogut, but it did not matter anyway because he was basically a non-factor in the game with early foul trouble and could not the speed of Dwight Howard and the other bigs of the US team.
Redeem Team or Pride Team
Team USA has shown tremendous pride throughout this whole Olympic experience. They have also shown pride for the other Olympic USA athletes. This group has matured over the last three years and they are not only becoming the basketball player that we knew they will become, but they have grown as men in the process. I give Jerry Calangelo and Coach K a lot of credit to molding this team into a true team to restore the pride of American Basketball and that’s why I see no one beating them. Sunday should be a delight for American basketball fan. You might say I’m premature in my statements, but the focus this team has shown the world give evidence that they will not be stopped.
