Team USA won against Japan in a 102-76 round-robin game in Paris.
The internet, or at least parts of the internet that you probably don't want to visit, what I'd call the real "Dark Web" are having a lot of fun with their witticisms and captions and retweets on player Diana Taurasi being much taller than her Japanese opponet, who she smiles as she holds the ball over the shorter player's head, like a high school bully or older sibling before the wedgie.
It's hardly mean spirited, it's basketball, where a height advantage is critical and the real question is why hasn't Japan created eugenics labs in some far off village where they force the tallest citizens to breed with each other in order to get really tall people.
The real shock in all this is that people are still buying into Women's Basketball hype, it wasn't a fad!
Diana Taurasi is 42 years old and still in the Olympics, still playing pro-women's ball and 6 feet tall.
