Ok. Let’s watch this segment to see if you remembered.

– I would say that the dark horse to win the gold medal is Brazil. Everybody knows about Spain – the challenges they’re going to present to the US. But Brazil has size; Brazil has three NBA big men, who are as big as anybody on the US team; and then they have a great point guard; and if they´re able to hold onto the ball and avoid turnovers against the U.S. to slow the game down a little bit, that would be a real interesting matchup; and I would not be surprised if Brazil beat Spain and gets into the gold medal final against the US.
– We will certainly keep our eye on the Brazilians.
