Really miss watching high quality basketball, and have watched games 1-5 of the finals on DVR way tooooo much.

So for those who have internet connections that allow them to use ESPN 360, can watch Pau tear it apart and go for gold at 12:15 pacific time.

gasol's alley-oops were a thing of beauty, if ron ron can consistently hit it from deep keeping the defense honest we will be seeing a lot of that in the up coming season.

Spain's Pau Gasol was selected as the Most Valuable Player and named to the All-Tournament team of EuroBasket 2009 presented by Tissot, the official timekeeper of Europe's premier basketball competition.

Gasol led his team to their first ever European men's title with 18 points 11 rebounds and three blocks in the 85-63 win over Serbia.

After losing in the championship game six times - most recently at home in 2007 - Spain finally broke through, thanks in large part to Gasol, who was the tournament's leading scorer with 18.6 points per contest while also grabbing 8.3 rebounds (2nd best) and blocking 2.2 shots per game (1st).

The star center headed the EuroBasket 2009 All-Tourament Team, which also featured his teammate Rudy Fernandez, who averaged 13.6 points and led all players with 2.1 steals per game.

The rest of the All-Tournament Team was rounded out by Serbia guard Milos Teodosic, Slovenian big man Erazem Lorbek and Greek guard Vasileios Spanoulis.

Wish Pau would stop playing this useless ball and get ready for our season. We do not need a wore out and tired Pau.

I'd disagree. It's hardly useless. Playing for your country is important. I also think the international game can provide some valuable experience in the NBA game.

He's not been in the NT since 2005 and i doubt he ever be back. He's seen as a locker room cancer.

Most of the players on Serbia are better than Radmanovic. It's not really fail, more like "to be expected".
