The 2012 Olympic Games in London will begin airing very early indeed for those of us on the West Coast. The competition will be no less intense in the wee hours of Sunday morning as the second full day of gold medal events gets underway.
Kobe Bryant and Team USA will play their first game of this year's Olympics. They'll take on France in a game that tips off at 6:30 a.m. PT and airs on NBC Sports Network. Team USA will hope to continue their strong run that allowed them to go a perfect 5-0 in exhibition play in the weeks leading up to the Summer Games.
In prime time, the duels between Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte will take center stage, as will gymnastics competition.
