    They were not exactly celebrating but they were attractive. Easy to find in Spain.

    Too late now. I remember his video before the draft where a lot of posters on this board were not impressed because of the competition he was playing against, despite how well he moved for a big man. oooops.

    Wow, Spain really do know how to shit the bed.

    Prediction for the final: USA over Serbia.

    (France beat Serbia on a very controversial last play in group play. Just as France got revenge on Spain, I can see Serbia getting revenge on France.)

    Gelebale was +21 for France! He last played in the NBA for Minnesota, didn't he? Back when he had braids. He's a pretty good 3-and-D guy - I'd be happy to have him over Dorrell Wright. He seems always to be cool.

    Actually, now I think it was the Sonics. Which shows how long it's been. And it turns out he's 31, so never mind.

    He's a teammate of Koponen's at BC Khimki.
