The Spanish basketballing machine

France - Spain

I was very fortunate to have watched two Eurobasket quarterfinals in Poland (Russia-Serbia & Spain-France).  Spain especially impressed me with their fast handling of the ball, tough defense and great offensive mobility.  This Spanish team has 4 players in the professional leage of North America (soon to be 5) and it shows.  No wonder the “ÑBA” won the championship in the end.

Quite a different story from the Olypic games in Barcelona in 1992, where the Spanish star Jofresa went to ask the American team for their autographs after their game if memory serves me right.
