The G.O.A.T.

Michael Phelps after winning 19th olympic medal

G.O.A.T. That is the term used now-a-days to describe the greatest of all time. Yesterday, Michael Phelps distanced himself from the pack of average and into the realm of legends. Phelps won his 19th record olympic medal, an accomplishment that no other olympic athlete has ever reached. Surprisingly, in the shadows of Michael Phelps, the United Staes women's gymnastic team won all-around gold for the first time since 1996. The win may not be legendary because it has done before previously, but that does not relinquish the the greatness that follows the victory. All of this brings to debate, could this be the greatest team USA we have sent to the olympics? We had our previous years when we dominated in basketball and track but lacked depth in others. This year the United States is drooling with talent in about every olympic sport. Our volleyball teams are dominate, our depth in swimming is bar none, our gymnastics is back world class talent, and our basketball teams have stayed consistent. It has been a while when we flourished in so many sports at one olympic. But hey, this is just my opinion, in the words of the great Jay Crawford, "Embrace Debate!"
