MUTigerFan Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Jordan Larson in the starting lineup for Team USA. Jordan is the best player on the #1 team in the world. That's all. Hooker had more points, but she also wasted several serves and... did you ever hear "Great dig by Destinee Hooker!". No, because she's on the bench rather than in the back court. Larson serves, digs, kills from the net and from back court and passes. Tremendous athlete. Quote Link to comment

Larson serves, digs, kills from the net and from back court and passes. Tremendous athlete. Hooker also had two terrible hitting errors at the end of the S. Korea match that allowed the S. Koreans a glimmer of hope after Jordan's service run put the Americans up 20-14. Quote Link to comment
beanman Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I think Jordan is the best all-around player. Hooker is a beast that's for sure, but Jordan did everything well. She mis-handled one serve, but other than that played a hell of a game. Logan Tom is overrated and I'm tired of hearing her name. Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 Jordan is a younger version of Logan Tom. Solid all-around, lots of varying skills, but not a huge body that will dominate at the net. You need a Logan Tom on your roster. We have two. Quote Link to comment
Ratt Mhule Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Nice to see Kobe supporting the volleyball team. Or he might just be scouting talent for his shirtless hotel parties, who knows? Quote Link to comment

Have you read the articles about the sex that goes on at the Olympics? Apparently it's quite the hedonistic lifestyle in Olympic Village. If you're Kobe you could do a lot worse than a girl as tall as you, nearly as fit as you. Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 USA defeats #2 Brazil in four sets, 17, 18, (22-25), and 21. Solid performance by the Americans. Jordan finished with: Kills - 16 Attacks - 36 Blocks - 2 Aces - 0 Digs - 12 Solid all-around game by Ms. Larson. EDIT - A nod needs to be given to Destinee Hooker, who also had a very good match today: Kills - 22 Attacks - 45 Blocks - 1 Aces - 0 Digs - 11 Larson and Hooker are a formidable duo - and they're just two of the stars on this team. It's not an accident that the U.S. is the World #1 Team. That's a big hurdle to overcome for the Americans. Looking good so far... Quote Link to comment

If they can clean up the transition game a bit...wow definitely looking solid. Quote Link to comment
