And how pathetic was it when the USA lost to Puerto Rico one year?

Spain this one at a the level of U.S.A, and then the rest comes the teams. I doubt that the Spanish selection is consistent with the silver, have a choice to go for gold, there are many more chances to win that Spain USA a USA win by 20 points to Spain.
Pau Gasol, all star.
Calderon, future all star, star in toronto, bye bye tj ford.
Navarro, excellent shooter.
Rudy Fernandez, best player in europe for me. now in portland, top5 in rookie.
Marc Gasol, best center in europe this year.
Ricky Rubio, future pick 1 in draft.
Garbajosa, ex raptor, he plays match rookies vs sophomores.
Raul Lopez, ex Utah.
Jimenez, excellent defense.
Felipe Reyes, top5 in europe in 4".
KB24@CL comments, U.S.A than better for players, but Spain than better U.S.A as team: defense, variations, tactics ...
