The Sports Guys is back from a summer hiatus. I'm not as into his constant Boston stylings anymore but his article about the US Mens Basketball Team's Gold Medal game against Spain is on point. I left my TV on that night thinking the noise would wake me up and at the start of the fourth quarter it did just that. I was able to watch the final quarter and the tension was unbelievably high. Spain kept hitting 3's and Simmons March Madness reference is spot on. It was a nerve wracking ending and Kobe certainly did take over. glc
Third, for most of the Games, Team USA had an alpha dog issue. Was this Kobe's team or LeBron's? Fast-forward to 8:13 left: Fernández's three cuts the lead to two; the crowd is going bonkers. Spain's bench reacts like a euphoric 15-seed during a March Madness upset, and the U.S. calls timeout. All along, my biggest fear had been a tight game and multiple USA guys saying, "I got it!" Instead, everyone deferred to Kobe, who made some monster plays to clinch it. Know that in the history of the NBA we have never had the best-player-alive argument resolved so organically. Incredible. Kobe, you have the Lord of the Flies conch. Use it wisely.

Speaking of homeruns, with Florida Marlins 3rd baseman Jorge Cantu's 25th homerun of the season last night, the Florida Marlins became the first team in Major League Baseball history to have all four starting infielders hit 25 or more homeruns in a season. Watch out for this team in the future. They're very young and are developing quickly. jmj
