ESP VS USA

Final showdown between Spain and USA in the men's basketball gold-medal match happening tomorrow following the bronze-medal match where its Argentina vs Lithuania. Spain advanced into the finals after securing a win over Lithuania with a mere 5-point difference whilst US defeated Argentina at a more comfortable 101-81 final score. Doesn't do much to inspire confidence in Spain especially after they'd lost to Team USA once already in the preliminary stage.

Nevertheless, trust Pau Gasol to bring his best game to court after world-class performances so far in Beijing.



Arguably the best basketball player in this year's Olympics, scoring the most points and coming in 5th in rebounds.

He'll take on the likes of Dwayne Wade, Carmelo Anthony, and Lebron James and that's enough names to make anyone playing against team USA sick to their stomach.


(Wade, Anthony, James)

Anthony boasts a 100% free throw statistic and has a formidable 3-pointer skill to boot, Tayshaun Prince also immaculate with 3-pointers at the far end of the court. Spain has alot on their plate, who knows what will happen tomorrow. I can hardly wait.
