[Texas_Ranger]

Yes, yes, yes!! I thought France would be a champ before the tournament, so I am really happy they did it, not just cause of Tony, but I like their whole team. Congrats!!

Liths say he didn't improve his game in the Nba at all.I remember him from 2011 eurobasket,he was looking much better.

[quentin_compson]

Congrats, France; congrats, TP!

[Bruno]

YES

First le for french basketball with en easy win against Lithuania. Batum and Diaw were so good and a 14-0 run before the half sealed the deal. Diaw has been so aggressive (for him) this summer.

Parker won the well deserved MVP le. This summer quite guarantees him an HOF spot. I also guess Pop will give him half the training camp off to have him fresh for the season.

[DAF86]

Diaw knew what's up.

[mountainballer]

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.

[Robz4000]

Congrats France, well deserved MVP for TP as well.

[JP le Requin]

WE ARE CHAMPS !!!

THANKS DE COLO, DIAW...AND ....TONY P!!!!

NEXT 2014...NBA FINALS!!
