      Not the first time that #8 had shoved the ref either.
      That was a big fail by the Spanish olympic squad and the players were frustrated because of two possible penalties not called. Interesting you mention number 8 that is Iker Muniain and not about the Honduras players laying on the grass all the game to lose time ( the British crowd were jeering them all the time ). I see that the biased comments about Spain go beyond basketball, good good...

        Yi looks like he can be valuable to Euroleague club. Not just great offensive, but he was playing good defense on Gasols.

          Nooo, it's a trap! Yi always looks world-class in international play but never seems to be able to put things together on the pro level.

            No justification for touching the ref, ever. There was a lot of bumping too after the late uncalled penalty, I couldn't find a good video.

            You can't seriously be equating a common tactic like that to assaulting the referee.

              Agreed. The attitude of assaulting the referees is typical from a team that was expected to do big things and simply failed, but i think i've seen that in many sports with ALL favorites when they fail hard. No one is justifying the action, just explaining why they were mad. Unfortunately, frustration did the rest.

              I'm not putting both situations at the same level, just saying that some people just talk about that only part they are interested to show. Using all ways you can to lose time can be considered a "common tactic", pretending you are injured to fool the referee and suddenly standing up when the ball is close is a different matter. Of course we just remember about flopping when it's Spain.

                What Spain did after the against Honduras was dissapointing to say the least, but its really hard to top what the US basketball team did back in the '72 Olympics as far as whining goes.

                  If this is the case then something is wrong. I think he has some confidence issues in the NBA though. Maybe a new league, a different environment will suit him better but I heard he's not interested in Europe. If nobody from the NBA picks him up after the Olympics (somebody should considering his performance), he'll almost certainly play in China.

                    This blog post breaks it down pretty well: http://www.truthaboutit.net/2010/07/...-of-china.html

                    To be fair, when I watched him in NJ he really had a few brilliant games, and one mid-season stretch where it looked like he had finally grown into a solid rotation player. Maybe a different environment would suit him (not Dallas, which looked like a wasted year), but his only consistently good play ever has been for the Chinese national team.

                    Any idea why he doesn't want to play in Europe?

                      Because China is the only team that plays him as the core, not the blue collar

                        Rumors says that Real Madrid is intrested in him. If its true he should go there as soon as possible

                          Would be interesting if no more NBA team offers him a decent contract. Already tired of seeing the same faces from NBA all these years. Love to see Spainish games in TV live.
