How about the United States men's basketball team at the Olympics?!  They set many Olympic records in a 156-73 victory over Nigeria.  What caught our eye was their 3 point shooting:  29-46 from 3 point range...wow!  What's even more impressive is that 9 USA players made at least 1 three point basket.  They attempted 83 total shots and forced 24 turnovers, and they rebounded 38% of their misses.  Talk about taking a page from Moneyball by meeting "System Goals" (and then some)!  USA!
