Tayshaun Prince and Katie Smith are happy campers...
Two pro basketball players from Detroit, two gold medals. Not a bad weekend haul for Tayshaun Prince and Katie Smith. It's Tay's first medal, Katie's third, and it was hard to tell who was more giddy. The medals are actually quite striking. They're made of a gold rim, with a circular piece of jade in the middle. They're labelled oddy, saying basketball on top, then men or women on the bottom. On the flip side is the Olympic rings and the Beijing logos. Tayshaun was really examining his, while Katie was a cooler customer.
