Someone said that South Sudan could end the U.S. dominance in basketball like Jamaica ended the U.S. dominance in the sprints. Understand that Jamaica has been winning for a very long time.

The U.S. men's basketball team had cruised through its first four games of the Paris Olympics, so overwhelming that it was unclear whether anyone would be able to test the Americans on their way to a fifth straight gold medal. But that test arrived in a big way in the semifinals on Thursday, and with its back to the wall, Team USA showed what it was made of: Trailing Serbia by as many as 15 in the third quarter, the U.S. rode a huge fourth quarter, a vintage game from Steph Curry and some late magic from LeBron James to a 95-91 win and a spot in the final on Saturday.

When did they start giving an mvp award in the Olympics?

That's a good question. I didn't know they did.
