Hey Sports fans, who would have thought the road to redemption would lead through Las Vegas? USA basketball is back, and they are crushing the competition. We can only hope this will keep up through next summer in the Olympics.
Brazil was supposed to be competition. And well it looked a bit close in the first quarter. And it seemed to me a few too many isolation, one-on-one plays in the first half. But, wow, the second half started nicely. Team play, team USA wanted to make a statement that this was their game and Brazil was not allowed to think about victory.
Speaking of redemption…Kobe is playing amazing. He’s passing the ball, he’s ferocious on defense (rumor has he has asked to guard the best opposing player), and he’s going after loose balls like a college kid in the Final Four. It almost makes me forget he’s a Laker. Maybe the rest of America will forget about his other sins.
