Team USA Contines To Flex Their Muscle As They Add Another Gold Medal In Basketball

 Everyone thought Team USA would win Gold in Men's Basketball and that is exactly what they did. France fought hard throughout the game, but fell short by a score of 98-87. Stephen Curry tossed in 24 points to help Team USA capture the Gold. Without Curry Team USA maynot had won Gold.

In the last two games Curry tossed in 60 points. Lebron James was named MVP which he  deserved. Love him or hate him James gave one of his best efforts ever. He played all of his roles perfect. From leader to coach James was there for every player on the team. 

Steve Kerr is another whole different story. As coach of Team USA he has taken a lot of heat for his rotations in games. What people do not get is with all that talent not everyone will play as much as they want. It's the nature of the beast.

Team USA won the gold medal so hopefully Steve Kerr won't take as  much heat. The gap is closing between the USA and the world in basketball. Right now though Team USA is still at the top of the mountain.

NBA Should Just Cancel Season Now As It Has Become A Sham

No matter how you look at it NBA commissioner David Stern should just cancel the NBA season as it has become a sham. The owners have given their latest proposal to the players that probably will not get voted on as it is not very good. Toss in the owners said that from here the offers will just get worse. The players are in a corner, but you will not force their hand at this point in the discussions. Look for the NBA season to be cancel in the not to distant future.

Neither side really wants a deal as they are both holding out for what they want and not willing to compromise. Cancelling the season is best as there has been to many lost games already. This way by cancelling the season both sides can work on getting the type of contract that both want. The NBA fans could care less about NBA basketball at this point anyways. They will just watch college basketball and other sports. The NBA is only hurting itself, but I guess they must learn that lesson the hard way.

David Stern Hang NBA Players Out To Dry

Now we our in the second lockout and it should not come as any surprise that David Stern has let the NBA players hang out to dry. he knows that public opinion will come down hard on players because that is where fans will vent their frustration. It's not always fair, but that's the truth and Stern knows it.

Fans want to watch NBA basketball and visit arena's and Stern knows that getting the NBA players to break is his only real chance. Hanging them out to dry is not uncommon in labor disputes, especially when you are talking about millionaire ballplayers. Will it work? I do not know only time will tell, but right now Stern does not care as he will do whatever it takes to get the game back on the court. This includes choosing sides it seems in the latest NBA lockout.
