USA wins the World Championship, and I Missed It

I didn't think they had a chance. They had no big men. Their starting center was a small forward. They had no experience with international competition. But I forgot one thing. They have Kevin Durant.

The thing is, I missed all of it. I was driving back from a mandatory family event at the horse races in Chicago. I hate horse racing. I hate it almost as much as I hate baseball. Now I can hate it even more, as it made me miss the highest quality basketball game we'll get to see in months, maybe even a couple of years. Heck, it was probably a better game than anything we'll see in the NBA Finals this season.

I just set up a head to head, points based league over at espn.com. It's a 10 team league, the draft will probably happen in mid to late October, and it will probably be on a weeknight around 7 pm central time. The roster will be fairly simple. You will start 4 guards, 4 forwards, and 2 centers. There will be 5 bench spots, but no injured reserve. The scoring system is as follows:

Points = 1 point
Rebounds = 2 points
Assists = 2 points
Blocks = 4 points
Steals = 4 points
Threes = 1 point (in addition to the three points you would get for the "Points" category)
