It was expected that the US Olympic basketball team would beat Angola which they did on Tuesday in a pretty uneventful game but today they found redemption in a bigger way when they beat the Greece team 92-69. We say redemption as Greece had beaten the USA teams in 2004 as well as the World Championship Semifinals in 2006. The men’s basketball team as we knew it back in 2000 is back and we look forward to watching the rest of the games towards the road to gold. Kobe Bryant and Chris Bosh each led the team with 18 points each followed by Dwayne Wade with 17 and coming in with 13 points Labron James. The next game is on Saturday against Spain where Kobe Bryant takes on his NBA teammate Pau Gasol and brother. It should be fun. Until then.
