Sports Rudy Fernandez vs. Nicolas Batum… WHO YA GOT?!?

While the rest of the Portland Trail Blazers spend their off-season comfortable resting perched atop large piles of cash, the team's European contingent is battling it out overseas. Today at noon, the Spanish national team (lead by the handsome Rudy Fernandez, and the far less handsome Pau Gasol) take on the French national team (lead by the lovable Nicolas Batum, and the far less lovable Tony Parker) in day number ten of FIBA Eurobasket, with the winning team getting a spot in the 2010 World Championships.

Take a long lunch and watch Rudy vs. Nicolas live on ESPN360.com.

That's not fair. Don't make us choose. BUT - did you see Rudy's photo shoot for Spanish Esquire? Caliente...

Jew-
My apologies. It was my first, and last, "Who Ya Got." Much like Cat Friday, I felt left out when everyone else did one.

This is not a fair question. Fuck you Ezra.

When does NBA pre-season begin?

Comcast recently caved in and got ESPN360.

I's aweseome that two of the best rookies on the team spent their off season playing good high level European basketball. I hope that Rudy just turns into a sniper dropping threes from all over the place. 2010 season is going to fucking aweseome. Especially with Maurice Lucas coaching Oden and Prybilla, those two are going to start ripping throats out of their foes (a al the Swayze).

Spain wins. As the elder player, Rudy took advantage of the privilege of señority.

I found the comment above mine to be hilarious. *

* I've been drinking & giggling at the mere thought of sombreros for like, four hours . . .
Does that mean I'm a racist?
