...is under way. France vs. Finland coming up soon (Finland actually beat France in the buildup, but it's pretty unlikely now).
Spain just lost to Serbia. Star of the game was soon-to-be Wolves rookie Nemanja Bjelica (AKA the Serbian Lamar Odom, if only by me) who got 24, 10 and 4 assists.
Parker decides he really would rather win, and it's all over. Two of the best players in this game are teammates. Yes, of course I'm talking about Nando De Colo and Petteri Koponen.
It would have been really interesting to see what the first generation of FIBA players could have done over here. We never got to see the full extent of Sabonis and Drazen, unfortunately. I think Nicos Galis not playing in the NBA was a crime. That guy would have been a damn good player....
Greece vs. Croatia was a barn burner. Plenty to give the Magic and Sixers hope about their young Croats, but in the end Spanoulis proved yet againthat, in Europe, he is a Legend.
Tony Parker just passed Greek legend Nikos Galis to become all-time leading scorer in the Eurobasket.
My team with the dumbest loss so far Two final second daggers, one in the 4th and one in OT How do you not foul when you're up 3 at the end of the 4th and the other team has the ball with 5 seconds left??
Biggest upset so far is probably this: What's with Belgium? They have one of the best young football teams in the world, too. Must be all that beer.
