Time for a lighter off-day thread. List your favorite things from the tournament so far.
Favorite Player: Greivis Vasquez. So...charismatic.
Favorite Coach: Flor Melendez. He just looks so Puerto Rican.
Favorite Players I had never heard of until this summer: Elpidio Fortuna, Tai Webster, Vassilis Spanoulis.
Favorite Result: Nigeria over Lithuania, in an upset over Puerto Rico's predictable loss to Greece.
Favorite Aspect of FIBA Tournaments: That they don't play all the final games of the same group at the same time. Sure it is fairer in soccer, but Lithuania losing to Nigeria to eliminate Venezuela is funnier, and from the standpoint of the neutral fan isn't that what counts?
Favorite Lithuanianized Name: A. Skinnas. Kind of a weak field this tournament.
Favorite Overmatched Team: Korea. At least they tried.
Favorite How does this Player get $6 Million a Year Player: Francisco Garcia.
