Parece mentira, pero lo cierto es que durante la tarde de este domingo se pudo comprobar a través de las redes sociales que hay seguidores americanos que no sabían que, a pesar de militar en franquicias NBA, jugadores como Pau y Marc Gasol o Serge Ibaka disputaban la final con España y no con Estados Unidos.

He aquí una recopilación de tweets elaborada por el blog BBallHeadlines que lo demuestra:

This the first basketball game I¿ve caught of the Olympics can someone explain to me why Gasol playing for Spain??

I need another answer besides Gasol from Spain, I know that but he play for the US sooo, again did he have a choice to play for Spain?

¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿(@KieraTruee) August 12, 2012

umm question why is Gasol playing for Spain ?!

Quite frankly, I don¿t give a fuck who Pau Gasol played for eventhough I¿m a die hard Laker fan, we won the Olympics without him. #TeamUSA
