Iverson sinks buzzer-beating 3-pointer for win

[frylock]

COLOGNE, Germany -- Things are not looking good for the NBA
stars on the U.S. Olympic basketball team.

The Americans needed a final-shot 3-pointer by Allen Iverson
from just across midcourt Wednesday to pull out an 80-77 exhibition
victory over Germany -- a team that failed to even qualify for the
Athens Games.

A day after losing 95-78 to unheralded Italy, the U.S. players
celebrated their last-gasp triumph against Germany as though they
had won an NBA championship. When Iverson's second 3-pointer in the
final 1½ minutes went through the net, two-time league MVP Tim
Duncan raised a finger to the sky as if to say, "We're No. 1!"
Other team members piled atop Iverson on the court.
