In his debutant Olympic appearance, Davis wowed, wetting 50 percent of his shots from the field (1-2). His three points helped secure a victory for the Red, White and Blue, in a game that France never had any chance of winning whatsoever.
Former Laker, Warrior, Knick, Wizard, Heat—and current Clipper—Ronny Turiaf dazzled London with his sick nine rebounds. He also started for a French team that boasted Pietrus Jr., a goggle-wearing Tony Parker and some other pretty cool guys.
However, it would be Davis who would have the last laugh for the Stars and Stripes. AD gobbled three rebounds and was a critical piece during his eight minutes of spectacular work. Without his effort, America still would have definitely won by a considerable margin.
We know this about Coach K's next opponent: They are definitely a country that will put five guys out there.
One Game We Didn't Watch: Spain vs. China
As a live viewer of the first half, I got to hear a brief analysis of each team in the tournament by Doug Collins. When it was time to talk about China, he paused a bit and stammered, "Well, China, they aren't good," and then quickly moved onto the next team. Solid stuff from DC.
