Last night, the U.S played Canada at San Antonio's Greehey Arena. It was a colossal mismatch, but still had some points of interest. The main subplot was the return of Doc Rivers and son Austin to San Antonio. Austin is one of the premier prospects in the Class of 2011 and will likely choose between offers from Duke and Florida. Despite being one of the younger players on the U.S team, Rivers was clearly the best scorer. Coach Rivers was actually in the gym watching as his son finished the game with 35 Points, including 9 3's in a row. Probably because he was on TV so much this past month(NBA Finals), Doc is very recognizable. He was signing autographs and taking pictures the whole game and afterwards.
Canada was overmatched, but had an interesting cast of characters. They were led by a jet-like point guard by the name of Myck Kabongo (Kowabunga!!) and a 7'4 Center. The big man had trouble running, or jogging down the court, but was still able to use his 7'4ness to get a few dunks. It is hard to describe how big a man that size looks live, even if he was a little slow. All in all an interesting match. The U.S will play Brazil today for the Championship.
