Becky Hammon got her wish to play in the Olympics. Going home with a bronze medal is a bonus.

Becky Hammon wears red and white without the blue and can't quite fathom what all the fuss is about.  She's an American playing basketball for Russia in the Beijing Olympics - performing quite well, in fact - because it was the only way she could fulfill her dream of competing in the Summer Games.

The basketball is in the hands of Becky Hammon, playing for the Russian Olympic team, for a winning shot in the final seconds of the gold-medal game against the United States.
