[@karenenderle532]

I just finished reading Coach K's "The Gold Standard", it was about the 2006-2008 years leading up to this game and the game against Spain for the Championship. It was very insightful and honest, it gave me a better appreciation for the NBA players who I, at this point, had considered Prima Donnas and would rather watch NCAA games instead of pro. I already had a great appreciation of Coach K, because I had been a Duke fan since 1988....but even this book gave me a greater appreciation for him and his coaching this team highlighted one of Coach K's greatest coaching skills,,,,adaptation!! Well done by all bringing the gold home in 2008!

Después del Dream Team de USA 92, esta selección Argentina en mi opinión es la segunda mejor en la historia, un equipo brillante, Estados Unidos preparo este equipazo plagado de estrellas jóvenes y experiencia exclusivamente para ganarle al CUCO de Argentina, su verdugo en dos semifinales, algo que no pudo lograr otra selección en la historia. En Indianápolis 2002 la final perdida contra Yugoslavia fue un ROBO al básquet. saludos a todos los amantes del buen Básquet.
