Live from Southern California. This is the Jim Rome Show.

They admit it, you were a little worried or a lot worried. It's okay to admit it's fine to say that you were

sketched out watching that basketball game yesterday because frankly that game was

sketchy as hell.

Close calls think that that close call was a really close call.

Even tight buttholes think that was an extremely tight but hole situation.

But hole.

However, credit, where credit is due,

when it came right down to it staring extreme international humiliation in the eye and on the

verge of suffering one of the biggest upsets in the history of USA basketball, Team USA clutched the hell up.

They got the job done. They closed hard. They might have even closed harder than Quincy Hall in the 400.

Now, it should have never harder than Quincy Hall in the 400.

Now, it should have never have come to this, mind you.

They should have never fallen behind by 17 points at one point.

They should have never entered the fourth quarter down by 13. But at least the

alleged best collection of Hoopers since the 92 dream team did pull off the comeback and it was pretty freaking awesome to witness.

Now I seriously doubt that the 92 Dream Teamers would have needed a furious 17 point comeback to beat these dudes back.

But then again, the 92 Dream Teamers didn't have to deal with these guys.

They did not have to deal with the likes of a Serbia squad or a yolkich in 1992.

Dudes and teams like that did not exist back in 1992.

So I'll admit it. There were definitely some dream teamy vibes coming off of

La Flagbearer and Steph and Katie yesterday. In fact, there were straight up Marvel Avenger vibes coming off these three guys and I'm not even a Marvel guy.
