Redeem Team accomplished Mission

The Redeem Team of USA have accomplished their mission by beating Spain in the Men's Basketball Finals of the Olympics,118-107.

After overwhelming everyone for seven games, the Americans led by only four points with under 21/2 minutes to play. Then the U.S. proved it could handle a close game that seemed would never come in Beijing.

Spain made one last push to close within 108-104 on Carlos Jimenez’s 3-pointer, but Wade hit one on the other end, and the final score became lopsided when the Americans hit a bunch of free throws after the Spanish became frustrated and were called for the technicals.

The Americans were not dominant anymore unlike in their first game,this time Spain was more serious even leading by five points after the first quarter.

What's interesting here is we got the chance to see Pau Gasol's younger brother Mark Gasol to play. Mark Gasol is expected to play in the NBA with the Memphis Grizzlies.The younger Gasol, who is also a seven footer,have shown that he is stronger than his brother. He is wide bodied, I am sure that he'll give a lot of players a hard time in the NBA.

Expect more tough times in the Olympics Basketball in 2012, Spain got a great 17 year old player in the person of Rudy Rubio. He got talent and skills,he can even play in the NBA now.

Once again, congratulations to Team USA and to Spain for giving a big fight that nearly cost Team USA the gold medal.
