LONDON (MCT) — Move over Miracle on Ice. The United States has a new group of scrappy underdogs who overcame incredible odds to win an Olympic gold medal.

“This means everything,” said LeBron James, a feisty young basketball player from Ohio. “A lot of people doubted us. They said we were too small. Said we couldn’t compete with the size of a lot of teams. But Chris (Paul) said it. It’s not about the size, it’s about heart.”

This gritty, plucky band of brothers staged a furious rally against international basketball powerhouse Spain, earning a 107-100 victory and a gold medal for the United States. Kevin Durant rocketed from a virtual unknown playing hoops in the obscure outpost of Oklahoma City to a household name, leading the U.S. team with 30 points and nine rebounds.
