The FIBA World Cup is over. Spain and Argentina surprised everyone by making it to the gold medal game while the two biggest favorites to win it all, the Gregg Popovich-led Team USA and Serbia, bowed out earlier than anticipated.
It was an unpredictable event that saw some of the best players in the world battle it out, including three Spurs. Marco Belinelli, Patty Mills and Derrick White had very different roles in their national teams but all three had good tournaments in their own way, which is encouraging as the NBA season approaches.
In this edition of PtR’s roundtable, contributors Marilyn Dubinski, Mark Barrington, Bruno Passos, Jesus Gomez and Charlie O’Charles break down what happened in China this summer and what it means for the Spurs, if anything.
