The USA mens basketball team won the gold medal this year at the 2012 London Olympics. USA was picked to win the tournament all the way, but of course they were, they had some of the best players ever on their team. The team consisted of LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Kobe Bryant just to name a few. They also had one of the best college coaches ever, Mike Krzyzewski. After reading most of those games, you know that USA was bound to win the gold. In the games before the gold medal game the USA destroyed their opponents, they actually set the Olympic record for points in a game. Once it came to the gold medal game the USA showed how they can come together as a team, it was a tight game, and Spain was the second team in the tournament rankings (far behind team USA), but the USA pulled away in the fourth quarter and won the gold medal for the second year in a row. This could be the start of a long run of golds for team USA.
