Pau Gasol exudes strong confidence that even without him, Team Spain will repeat as champions in the coming FIBA World Championships in Turkey, according to USA Today. If Spain  goes on to win the FIBA title, it will be a double World Championship victories this year, following the success of their football squad in the FIFA World Cup in South Africa  last month. Gasol begged off from seeing action for the Nationals after playing for the Los Angeles Lakers in the grueling NBA finals against the Boston Celtics last June.

“They're a great team, whoever plays. They're preparing very well and I hope they can emulate that in the tournament. It'll be tough, but they look prepared to keep winning more titles.”
