So remember a few days back, when the Blob pointed out it was no biggie that France upset Team USA in their men's Olympic basketball opener, because buckets didn't just belong to America anymore?
Well, that's still true.
But a few other things are also true, after Kevin Durant dropped 29 and the U.S. won the rematch with France, 87-82, to win its fourth straight Olympic gold medal.
1. A Greek (Finals MVP Giannis Antetakounmpo) a Serb (regular-season MVP Nikola Jokic) and a Slovenian (phenom of phenoms Luka Doncic) may have played dominant roles in the NBA this season, but the U.S. still has more of the best players in the world and it's not even close.
2. After losing to France, Team USA won its next four games by 54, 35, 14 and 19 points, respectively. See "1".
3. Did I mention "1"?
