U.S. Men Take Bronze
No, they did not win the gold medal as expected entering the 2004 Olympics. But the men that made up Team USA, including the Suns' own Shawn Marion and Amaré Stoudemire, didn't hang their heads or mail it in after losing to Argentina on Friday. Instead, they pulled it together for one final fight with Lithuania and came away with a 104-96 win and the bronze medal on Saturday. Marion led the way for the U.S. with 22 points in the victory.
