US basketball after trailing by 13 to start the fourth have tied it... Nervy game.

These guys are fighting like hell out there. Win or lose, nobody better suggest they don't care.

USA! USA! USA!

I don't really like him all that much, but Lebron's fire is fucking contagious. Once he got fired up, every other dude on the team followed suit. Fucking legendary win!

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone is absolutely dominant. Love watching her race.

I used to work for her father-in-law in Severna Park, MD. Glad she has reaped the rewards of her hard work.

This is what I've always wanted to see from them. It took them getting their asses kicked to start playing real, team basketball and it worked perfectly. Shocking I know. Best time watching them ever as far as I can remember.

That is the part that finally got me going too. He and Durant, Davis and Chef were going nuts - which is my kinda athlete

Spencer Lee! Holy crap, he's so good. Had to make a plug for him since it doesn't belong in the Bucks wrestling thread. But I'll root for every single USA wrestler in the Olympics.

I would say USA Track and Field needs to fire its 4x100 relay coach (on the men's side), but I said that after the past two Olympics and it hasn't gotten better (on the men's side).

This is a joke at this point.

So...watching Olympic break dancing. This is silly. All the objective scoring of figure skating with the hit music from a Saturday at Walgreens. Fuckin stupid.

 

[BUCKYLE]

USA hoops going to bring it on home. Fuck the rest of the world.

They need to not only have the fastest runners but the smartest also. If you can't pass a baton maybe you should have to pass an IQ test to run for the US Olympic team.

Carl Lewis went "apesh*t" with Lewis Johnson (NBC broadcaster) afterwards. But I remember Carl Lewis upset after 2021 Tokyo (4x100 Men) as well.

USA Men haven't even medaled since 2004 in the 4x100 (no gold since 2000).

I would say the program will clean it up for LA 2028, but it's been like 20 years now since the men earned even a medal.

Kenny Bednarek looked early (took off early) in real time (let alone in slow mo replay).

I really thought he was going to walk through with the Gold. He abused the last couple of guys he wrestled

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Good lord. The 4x400 women’s team smoked the rest of the field. Well done on those relays today!

Basketball gold about to start..
