From the ASSOCIATED PRESS, "back in the U.S. with a gleaming bronze medal in hand, Becky Hammon said the controversy surrounding her decision to play basketball for Russia in Beijing has given her fresh perspective on life and humbled her. She also said the medal, which she compared to a "gigantic penny," was a bonus to a long personal journey. ‘This is the game and I think it's important to keep perspective,' said Hammon, back at practice with the WNBA's San Antonio Silver Stars on Tuesday. ‘And if this is the toughest thing I have to face in life I think I'll have a very easy life. There's bound to be more peaks and valleys along the way and but I think this has helped prepare me for those peaks and valleys that I'll face further in life.'”
