Men’s Semi-final Basketball Game
September 9, 2008
The USA team was assembled with some of the best NBA players in the league, including New Orleans’s Hornet, Chris Paul. This collection of athletes were called the Redeem Team, because the last USA team did not win a gold medal. Tonight they were playing the Argentina team, which also had a few NBA players to help them try to win a medal at the Olympics. The basketball arena was full of people, music, performers and lots of media screens to watch the game up closer. The only down side of this venue was the size of the seats. The leg room was very narrow and for tall people their knees were jammed up into the chairs in front of them. As with any NBA game were was lots of entertainment during the time outs. I have put together a shutterfly of some of the pictures made at the game. This was a lot of fun to watch, but what was surprising to me, most of the people in the stands were not for the USA team. That did not matter-we won anyway. This was our last Olympic event to see athletes compete and we were looking forward to seeing the closing ceremonies.
