Rodriguez unwavering in commitment to Spain <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">PORTLAND (EuroBasket 2007) - The way Sergio Rodriguez has collected titles and honours in his life, one would think he might find it hard to pick out the most meaningful accolade. There was the MVP award he claimed at the U18 European Championship Men in 2004 after leading Spain to the gold medal. He had a terrific couple of years with Estudiantes, playing in the ACB and Euroleague. Then there was the day Rodriguez was a first-round selection in the 2006 NBA draft by Portland. It?s another honour that ranks highest for the 20-year-old Rodriguez, though. "Winning the World Championship was the best thing in my life,? he said on hoopsworld.com. ?It was a great moment for all of Spain. I enjoyed it and I want more titles with Spain.? And Saitama enjoyed Rodriguez. He was, quite simply, amazing in Spain?s thrilling semi-final win over Argentina in Saitama. In just 15 minutes, Rodriguez turned an already fast game into one that was lightning quick, playing to Spain?s strength. He made all three of his three-pointers and finished with 15 points, while also dishing out two assists and grabbing two boards. Rodriguez was so good that team-mate Jose Manuel Calderon, who had sat down for a breather, couldn?t get back into the game. </div> Source:http://www.fiba.com/pages/en/news/latest_n...&nMonth=&nYear=
