    Good job USA. Let's go win the total gold medal count tonight. Down goes China.
    Underdog is not that subjective. You have to be at least evens to be considered that, clearly. People that openly doubted them were either making a brave call or didn't know shit about basketball. The field was about 5-1.

    odds mean nothing reality matters truth is there were some teams capable of winning gold so as it played out the field had no business being 5-1 dogs. tons doubted usa would win gold then when they win its “everybody knew they would”

    The point is USA were never dogs in any way shape or form, and nor should they have been.

    Speaking of team USA... Faried was great for them in the '14 WC. Started every game I think. Now he's on the Blazers' SL squad. How do you go from team USA to SL?

    People say marijuana is not harmful... ruined many NBA players.
