Kevin Durant led the team in scoring, but truly everyone that played major minutes helped out.  Lebron James had 19 points, and becomes second to Michael Jordan in winning the NBA title, NBA Finals MVP, and regular season MVP to go along with his Gold Medal.  Speaking of how comparisons, how fitting it is that James would do something only Jordan has done.

Spain had the help of the Gasol brothers in Marc and Pau trying to keep up with this super star driven USA team.  Serge Ibaka stepped up in key moments, but it wasn’t enough.  Team USA gets the victory for a 107-100 win.  Now the question is will there be an age limit to the next time this rolls around? If we want to send our best players, then there shouldn’t be any talk of making this 23 and under.  The best stars are one the ones who will be older in the 2016 Olympics, and we want our best players there representing.

On top of that, these teams have met up in previous Olympics, even resulting in 2004 with Team Argentina preventing the USA from winning the gold medal that year.  But the US has a 5-1 record against Argentina, and I can’t imagine how they could lose today.

The only way that happens is if the US beats themselves, possibly foul trouble or just a bad shooting day, which can happen.  But this team has been rolling along, and should be able to win again.  They already took care of Argentina in pool play with a dominating second half, which shows this US team has that on/off switch.

Today’s game needs to be on the whole way through. No sense in letting Argentina hang out, and putting this team away early would bode well.  Personally, I’m all about the US dominating this game, and showing the world who’s the best.
