Tony went into the crowd after the game. He went to his family.

great win for France! congratulations.

for all those who always citicise when foreign players play for their NT during the summer: this championship might have cost some energie, but! it will boost the confidence level of Tony, Boris and even Nando.
Boris is a very emotional person (at least that's my impression), he looked like the most happy man tonight, this le might add some pounds to his frame, b/c he knows how to celebrate, but he will be better than he was before next season. and Tony will carry the Spurs next season and this le will be crucial for him. he carried a French team, that struggled a lot during this Eurobaskt and missed their 2nd best player.

overall: great win for France. great news for Spurs.

Exactly my thoughts.

Great pics smaka!

Thanks Bambililos!
Maybe I'll make a short video with some pics and short clips of their celebration etc.

Really happy for French basketball in general, and Tony in particular. He really deserved that MVP (especially after the game against Spain!) and the French NT really deserved to win a le as well.

Diaw and Batum were key players, but also Flo Pietrus in defense.

they better learn something from this and apply it in the playoffs next season

Not really. They didn't start playing as they were supposed to until quarterfinals.

YES!!!!!! FINALLY!!! COCORICOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I"m so happy....... for them first! The way they lost some opportunities this last decade was so heartbreakening, it was really deserved...

As someone said previously, even if it costed them physically and even emotionally, the "reward" will be the confidence boost that with no doubt, will help the Spurs next year!

Seeing Diaw move the way he moved, he'll be there next year, for sure! (if only Timmy could convince him to do the same diet; they are the same, they have great hands and play with their brain, they can play until 40 ..... if fit!

And thanks to most of my fellow spurstalkers for supporting our team, it was nice to read!

Now I can't wait for the season to start!!!

Yyyyyeeeeaaaaahhhhhhhh saw the game with some French friends in a bar in São Paulo. I'm wasted !!! Happy for them. TP is the boss and hopefully diaw will bring his aggressiveness with him for the spurs. Time for the boys to celebrate then rest as much as possible before season start !!!

Parker is now I think just 9 points away from becoming the player with the most points on Eurobasket's. Nikos Galis is still number one.

And the selfish part of me kinda hopes it stays that way.

Very happy France won this thing and I want Boris to get in slightly better shape like you said. He's won me over the last couple of years. All you French fans that said he was a great all around player were right, he just needs to be aggressive and have the confidence in himself to keep doing it. I don't know how much weight he can stand to lose, because he needs some of it to guard the post, but the main reason I want him to lose some is so that he can play longer. He does have a lot of similar traits to Tim Duncan, he just needs to keep his aggression dialed up.

Great effort from TP this whole tournament. It really sucks that the Spurs lost game 6, the perception of Parker around here would have changed forever if the Spurs didn't throw that game away.
