Bruce: He is As tall as his brother, but stronger. He will imoprove a lot @ nba, no doubt. But must be patient with him. He will need a year of addaptation, minimum.

Doc: This depends on what do you think about a “top 10 player”. There are lots of excellent defenders in Europe, wich by the way, are real leagues, with not only a champion, but also the risk to go down to 2nd division if you’re doing bad. In addition to this, I always thought (and stats are in my favour) that the most skilled shooters are from ex yugoslavia…
Anyway, in my opinion Ricky Rubio is as good as any american teen player, future mega-star with huge Contract$$$ from McDonald’s, Nike or Wall-Mart…

Concerning the match, USA should win, obviously. We here in Spain admire your dream team, and respect it. For us, to lose -10 down, will be a good result. We are not at the same level. BUT sometimes sport is more than 12 stars… if not, remember the long time ago hockey gold medal against the Powerfull USSR, with an USA team full of Univs…

Sometimes illusion and being a team is more usefull than spectacular dunks.

I will lie down and match this match, which by the way is the best we can see nowadays. Moreover, I think Spain is the only team with small possibilities to beat USA…

Saludos (desde Barcelona / Spain)

someone said it. i think it was lebron. NO other team in the olympics has a guy coming off the bench that’s even close to how good Wade has been playing.

Wade, Bosh, CP3. these guys are making an impact.

I would expect them to be the difference makers.

Wouldn’t that be great to see?
Imagine Kobe just slamming that rock over Gasol’s head for playing like a bitch in the Finals, ha ha

Lebron needs to run over Spain like the freight train he is and Kobe will dunk all in Gasol’s face! Let’s go USA!

Spain players good and everything,but they are nowhere near as talented as this team..How many Top 10 players they have in the world?They up there past Argentina but we got some of the best ever on that court.

i think the US will win but spain is definitely better than the other teams, mainly because they have legit centers and guards, their talent level is kinda up there with team usa, its not the same but its closer than the other teams. Plus spains bench is almost as deep as team usa’s bench

Spain will be competitive up until the 3rd quarter and then fatigue will set in for the USA team to make their run . . .
