Spain has a protracted, wealthy, history in basketball.
Spearheaded by players reminiscent of Pau Gasol, Marc Gasol and Ricky Rubio, La Roja managed to win three silver medals on the Olympics and two gold medals on the World Cup.
Spain conquered EuroBasket on three occasions as well, winning all of it in 2009, 2011 and 2015.
Sadly for the Spaniards, each Gasol brothers are not any longer on the team, and Ricky Rubio underwent surgery earlier this yr for a torn ACL that saw him miss the rest of the NBA season.
“I can already say that I is not going to take part in the EuroBasket this summer. I’ll get entangled in one other way. But I will certainly come back to the national team,” Rubio told La Vanguardia in January.
The load to hold the Spanish team falls onto a latest set of brothers now – Juancho and Willy Hernangomez.
