The backlash was immediate and predictably unpleasant, vile even.
The hero had turned heel; the patriot, now a traitor.
The criticisms were harsh, and largely uncalled for, really. Yet Marc Pingris took them all in—the spiteful comments that he had sold his basketball soul for money, the unflattering insinuations that he now loves the hand that feeds him more than his country, and the foul accusations that he has turned his back on flag and country—like the upstanding man he has become.
Through all the bashing, Marc Pingris stayed silent.
Spain defeated Lithuania in the 2015 EuroBasket Finals, 80-63 led by Pau Gasol with 25 points and 12 rebounds. Both Spain and Lithunia will go to the 2016 Rio Olympics.
Congratulations Pau Gasol and Spain!
