Don't Diss the Effort Seriously, is a bronze that bad? Yes, I know. Basketball is a U.S. sport, born and bred. The game's most talented players still grow up here. Plus, the coach just became the only one to ever win both the NCAA and NBA championships. |

Unfortunately, they lost the first four, three of them in seven games. |

But there are many other questions. |
