gold rush.

We are thirty three days away from the presentation of medals for men's basketball at the Beijing Olympics. There you will find Team USA. Headed by Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, this somewhat undersized team will be accepting there gold medals and singing the national anthem. Most will be hiding tears and all will be overjoyed in this feat. Considering that the USA hasn't won a world tournament since 2000. But you know all the facts, you know all the players and know the feats they will face. There is no need for me to breakdown the thoughts lingering in peoples minds about this team. Yes, we should have added more size and yes, we might be smaller than anyone else. But without a doubt, this is the most talented and athletic team ever assembled. The question is how much and by how many. This team will win, but may get hit with a few small speed bumps. But in the end, there will be tears of joy and a bunch of "I tol you so's."
