It's amusing seeing Gasol get overpowered by Pietrus.

I bet basketball would be just like Soccer if it's popularity started in Europe and branched out to the US. Flopping galore.

I love this kind of contact basketball they let them play, you'd never see this in soft NBA.

Refs trying to keep it close not calling the unsportsmanlike foul on Claver.

France doing their best to blow this lead. Stupid pass by Parker followed by a bad foul. Now time to miss FTs and allow Spain to tie/win.

Still surprised that Spain is in this position. Props to France.

95% chance Spain hits a 3 to tie it.

Damn, Parker's redemption for the NBA Finals. If he wins an international gold, you could say he made up for the loss to the Heat, cause hell, he still has 3 rings.
