Oh, cool. The B team has moved up to Oro for the upcoming season though, right? I'm actually considering coming to Barcelona for an extended weekend sometime this season. Would obviously try and catch Barca game like I did last time, but it'd be cool to check the B team if they are playing at home too. Gotta see a game at the Nou Camp too. Did the tour last time but no game. Anyway.. I'm waffling..Now he's playing with the u18 national team the European Championship. Tomorrow they are going to face Russia in the quarterfinals, though I think there's no stream whatsoever to watch the game. If you want to see the way he plays, here is a video of Mannheim, a tournament Spain won just some months ago. He sports the number 10. Note that the last Spanish team that win in Mannheim was the one who had Navarro and Raúl López as leaders and a supporting cast made up by Felipe Reyes, Pau Gasol, Germán Gabriel, José Calderón, Carlos Cabezas and Berni Rodríguez amongst others.
I thought FIBATV were streaming that, no? If they are, I'll make time to check it out.
Yes, they'll play in LEB Oro this upcoming season.
Let me be so impolite as to tell you something. It's been almost three years since the last time I was to Barcelona, but if I was there, I'd prefer attending the B team game and the football one
Barça basketball games this last couple of years are boring up to a point that I'd rather watch handball.
I'm not sure about FIBATV streaming the games. They did it last year, it's all I know. I'll check it out too.

32. By 2016 he'll be 36, then. If he feels he can do it I think he'll try and go, but who knows.
I don't think any other player from that Spanish generation will attend, though. Navarro is already too banged up, and Calderón won't probably have the level to be called up, let alone Reyes, who has already said the he's likely to retire from the NT.
