The 2008 Beijing Olympic was great while it lasted. Unforgettable games such as the USA vs Spain Olympic Gold Medal Game was a pleasure watching and one of the best. USA Womens Basketball kept things in check by winning yet another Gold Medal with Lisa Leslie on top is one of most game played in the Olympics by an American.

Wheelchair Basketball also had great moments in the Beijing Paralympic Basketball WheelChair Games. Australia Mens National Wheelchair Basketball team won gold over Canada who were quite favorite.
