Warning: SPOILER ALERT!
Do not read on if you don’t want to know the result of the USA vs. Spain gold medal basketball game.
SPOILER ALERT!
It was a nail biter!
It was also more than just USA vs. Spain.
There was a Lakers showdown!
Kobe Bryant (USA) vs. Pau Gasol (Spain).
Well, basketball powerhouse Spain played a monster game against the boys of the USA. They kept it close the last two quarters. Sometimes a little too close for comfort!
After leading by double digits, the US lead was cut to 2 at one point.
But, the Lakers’ Kobe made some key plays in the fourth quarter and lead the USA to gold!
What a year for Bryant! NBA MVP and gold medal winner!
Team USA is officially redeemed.
Oh, and scrumptious basketball fan David Beckham was spotted at the game looking as divine as ever.
