It took a three year commitment to hard work and to the team and in the end, all of that hard work paid off as the Redeem Team defeated Spain 118-107 to win the first Gold Medal in International competition since the 200 Sydney Olympics.Dwayne Wade showed why he was the MVP of the Olympics through the first three quarters and when Spain cut the USA lead to 6 with three minutes left in the game, the worlds best closer Kobe Bryant got a clutch and rare 4 point play to silent the Spanish crowd and propel the Redeem Team to victory.
Dwayne Wade Scored 27 while Kobe Bryant added 20 points, most of those coming in the 4th quarter when Team USA needed a bucket the most.
It wasn't easy, especially with the inconsistant ways that the officials officiated the game, but Team USA did it and have restored USA Basketball to the top of the World. There is no denying that this is the best team in the world right now, and I would even go as far to say as the 2nd best team to ever represent the USA in international competition behind the one and only Dream Team of 1992.
