As expected long before competition began, Stephen Curry, LeBron James and Team USA defeated Victor Wembanyama and host France, 98-87, on Saturday in Paris, making it five straight Olympic gold medals for the United States in men's basketball.
> The indelible moment came from Steph Curry, who made four uber clutch 3-pointers in a two-minute second stretch of the fourth quarter to turn away a French uprising. Curry assured his first gold with a ridiculous fall away bomb, silencing the home fans with his "put them to sleep" trademark move.
That was an incredible ending. Final score was 98-87, USA.

Algerian boxer Imane Khelif has won a gold medal at the Paris Olympics. She emerged victorious Friday from a tumultuous run at the Games where she endured intense scrutiny and online abuse over misconceptions about her womanhood.
Really, really glad she won gold after how much shit she's put up with these last few weeks.

- apnews.com Sha'Carri Richardson's comeback halted by Julien Alfred, who brings 1st Olympic medal to St. Lucia
Sha’Carri Richardson’s comeback story hit a brick wall Saturday when Julien Alfred romped to the 100-meter title in 10.72 seconds to blow away the field and bring the first-ever Olympic medal to her island country of St.
I'm not massively into the Olympics, personally, but I have to admit, I wanted a gold medal for Sha'Carri Richardson more than any other American athlete. After watching admitted potheads like Michael Phelps with a dozen of them, and the mountain of research confirming how low-risk (and not a PED) marijuana is, it incensed me that she was disallowed from participating back in 2020.
Still, second-best on the planet is still pretty effing good. Kudos to her.

> VILLEPINTE, France (AP) — A passionate crowd showered Algerian boxer Imane Khelif with cheers during her fight Saturday at the Paris Olympics, repeatedly chanting “Imane! Imane!” before the athlete who has faced a cascade of backlash over false claims about her gender broke out in sobs following her win.
> A large contingent of Algerian supporters called her name and waved flags throughout the women’s 66-kilogram quarterfinal at North Paris Arena, and they unleashed some booes as her opponent was introduced in the jam-packed venue.
What a shameful episode this has been worldwide, watching so many celebrities open their pieholes and say the most horrible things. (Most notably, at least for me, was JK Rowling)
And yet, none of these unathletic, lazy, keyboard commandos would have the courage to talk trash to her face.
- apnews.com Kansas man sentenced to prison for stealing bronze Jackie Robinson statue
The man who stole a bronze Jackie Robinson statue that was cut off at the ankles and found days later smoldering in a trash can in a city park in Kansas will spend about 15 years in prison, although most of that sentence is related to a burglary that happened a few days later.
Good.
I get that some of the time the criminal received was due to a later robbery, but if he was willing to do something like that to a statue, I don't find it improbable that he'd do it to a person one day.
