The US Men's basketball tem received a scare and me almost an ulcer in their champion match with Pau Gasol and RUUUUUUDDYY Fernandez's Spain team. Rudy almost single-handedly brought Spain back but, foul trouble plagued him throughout the game and when he fouled out on a questionable foul call on a three point shot by Kobe that turned into a 4-point play and the dagger, I knew Spain had no chance (22 points in 17 minutes... still don't know why he didn't start the game). Not only did Rudy demonstrate his great touch from the floor whether it be the long ball or slashing, he was "Team Spain". Imagine if he wasn't in foul trouble... Does Spain go on to win the Gold?! The highlight of the whole Olympic FIBA had to be his facial dunk on normally potent defender Dwight "D" Howard (just wanted to type "Dwight D" for Dwight D Eisenhower for Al Bundy repeating his name constantly on the Name the President game on Married with Children)
If Blazer coach and assistant coach of the Redeem Team Nate McMillan had his doubts before of Rudy Fernandez (remember Rudy's interview about questioning to play for the Blazers becasue of Nate), he better think hard (oh wait, not a hard decision) of not only playing RUUUUUUDDYY, but putting him at the starting lineup as the SF or SG (moving Roy to PG if that's the case). One thing is for sure (or should be if Coach Muffin can figure this easy thing out...) Step aside Martell Webster!! Look out NBA for another "Spanish Chocalate" name Rudy Fernandez!!
