After our recent rip to Barcelona, Spain for Last Man Standing - Spain and then hosting the winner and runner-up here in the world's basketball capital, NYC, we were not disappointed in seeing Spain in the Gold Medal game against the USA.  With that said, the physics of the world was corrected early Sunday morning in the USA's Gold Medal win.  Water once again flows downstream, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and the USA is the best basketball team in the world.

And its because order was also re-established in the NBA pecking order.  It was not LeBron James or Dwanyne Wade (though he was high scorer), but Kobe Bryant who hit the big shot with about 3 to go.  And let's not discount having the right coach, a coach that would be and was universally respected by all players, Coach K, at the helm.  The world is now right with itself.  And don't think there won't be a lot of smack talk before the tips of NBA games by all the USA Olympians to their counter-parts.  For the first time in a long time, Game Over.
