It also might not be. But after three of them, they're really hard, even if you win by 30. "The whole process is really difficult to try to get 12 really good players to buy into one thing. It takes a lot of effort and sacrifice. But in the end, we succeeded." Candace Parker averaged 10.5 points, one of four players to score in double figures in these Olympics.
