Remind me of that in 3 years when 5 guys off that team are averaging 17+ points a game in the NBA.

Spain would beat anyone in the bottom third of the NBA last year, except a healthy Miami team, in a seven game series.

I'll remind you when they aren't. There is no way that's happening. Rubio will never average 17, nor will Gasol 2.

They're decent, but not defensive bone in the group. I don't see that team beating anyone routinely in the NBA.

again, disagree. Very linited athletically. Should have had a huge post advantage today, but limited athleticism kept them from taking advantage.

They're skilled, but the NBA rules would penalize them in a big way.
