Wrapping up the London Olympics

As long as there is enough coverage of the Keep Dreaming Team, everyone will be happy.


Team USA

Team U.S.A. stands on the podium after receiving their gold medals for their victory over Spain. (Harry E. Walker / MCT / August 12, 2012)
Thank you for not one, but two articles chronicling the U.S. men's basketball team's courageous climb to the gold medal. Such an unexpected and hard-fought victory deserves expanded coverage like this.
In a related story, I beat my 3-year-old son at tennis, 6-0,6-0.

Combine the new-look Lakers with the NBA champion Miami Heat and what do you have? A team that would have a hard time getting past Lithuania in the Olympics.

I think Bill Plaschke watched too much rhythmic gymnastics .Somehow he paired LeBron James and Mike Krzyzewski as two of basketball's most polarizing figures . He justifies categorizing the coach in this manner with some gibberish about "the message of the power of the student athlete " and 'Duke's holier than thou hubris."
Come again? Krzyzewski runs a clean, consistently successful program and is about as controversial as Mother Teresa.

Did anyone notice when USA players got the gold medal, it was on a purple ribbon ? A good sign of things to come for the Lakers.

Hail to the American women of the Olympics! No matter the outcome, they were excited to be there. They were exciting to listen to and, most importantly, they were exciting to watch.
