OLYMPIC ACTION TO WATCH ON DAY 6:
The USA men's basketball team has been nick-named the "Redeem Team" because they are on a mission to get back their reputation as being the world's best. But on the road to reclaim gold there are other side missions on the way. Revenge against Greece has been on the minds of the US ever since their surprising defeat two years ago in the semi-finals of the world basketball championship in Japan. The two teams will meet today (GMT: 12:00) for the first time since then. The rivarly is sure to heat up with the Greeks to implement thier pick and roll offense and notorious physical defensive pressure. Kobe, Lebron, D-Wade, and Melo are focused on payback.
