U.S. women’s basketball team is our final ‘Hero of the Weekend’ of the Tokyo Olympics

The U.S. women’s basketball team beat Japan, 90-75, on Sunday to win its seventh straight gold medal, which is just incredible and shouldn’t be taken for granted by any of us.

Each Monday during the Tokyo Olympics I have provided my “Heroes of the Weekend” and this final one was a no brainer as everyone involved with the women’s hoops team gets this very prestigious award.

Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi each won their fifth gold medal, which is absolutely wild and head coach Dawn Staley won her SIXTH (three as a player, two as an assistant, and one as a coach), which is nuts.

Watch the video above for more details on this unbelievable team.
