There was one thing I missed in the film session that I remembered later, and it’s pretty important to Team USA’s play and identity development. Is this a team of smug, quiet confidence or of cocky, ruthless showboating? It’s a question that needs to be asked after a play in the USA-Turkey game: Kobe and Carmelo are leading a 2 on 0 fast break, Kobe with

But you probably already knew that. (Sorry this is so late, bytheby, got a little sidetracked last night). Also, there aren't many short video clips to splice in, and for some reason I can't ...
