Quarterfinals, Spain vs. Serbia

[Frosties]

I agree that there will not be so dominant NTs as Yugoslavia was, in years to come, but if you look at the medals, Spain had 2006.-2009. consist years, with 2 golds and 2 silvers, and that was good, great, but I think that is not something that can't be done in a near future, and that is not even close to Yugoslav dominance.

You are right. Spain has been in the podium in 99 (silver), 01(bronze), 03 (silver), 06 (gold), 07 (silver), 08 (silver) & 09 (gold). It is not domination á la Yugoslavia, of course. Nobody will dominate like that.
(Yugoslavia from 95: 95 (gold), 96 (silver), 97 (gold), 98 (gold), 99 (bronze), 01 (gold), 02 (gold).)
Teams in the podium those years: Italy, Lithuania, Serbia, Russia, Germany, Greece, Argentina, Turkey and the US.

In Europe I believe there will be 5 top teams sharing the podium a lot.

I was cheering for Spain but it was a well deserved win by Serbia. It was a total team effort. Good luck in your upcoming games.

I do not agree. It is the transition of a golden era into a good one. There are very young players playing key minutes: Rubio, Llull you can build a time from...

They might not rule, but I foresee next 5 years with very leveled European teams... There will not be Yugoslavia like in the 90s or a Spain like in the 00s but a continuous alternance.

Congratulations to Serbia, it was a great game and they deserved to win.
The Calderon´s injury just before the WC was a shame.

PD. I don´t understand some greek fans, they behave like total loosers, it´s really funny

GOOD LUCK SRBIJA!!

Kubos to Spaniards as well. This game signals the end of an era for the Spanish bb. For me they were the best bb team in the world for the last 5 years.

Congratz for the poll and thanks to our Greek and Russian brothers for support -if any-

Before and after the sniper shot of Teodosic

LOOL!!! Milan Mačvan was too much excited

[Luíz for 3]

Well not exactly
you forgot Argentina which is undoubtedly the best team of the decade
10/10 times in the semis
4/4 in world tournaments
if they make it this time
Spain is second and USA third

Sure! Argentina the best. I would place both NT's side-by-side in the top spot. The great generations, absolutely!
