Spain men's national basketball team

We're seeing more Australians get in.

There's Spanish, there's Greek, there's all this stuff.

If I take a snapshot of the NBA when I first started watching it a million years ago, pretty much all American.

Is this movement of international player just going to grow and grow as far as internationals on NBA rosters?

And, and right now, what you've seen him do to transform himself in two and a half months between s- you know, Summer League ending and the start of this preseason, it's pretty remarkable, and you give the hat tip to Mara for putting the work in.

You give the hat tip to the new athletic training staff that Oklahoma City has, uh, at their disposal, that they sent with Mara to, uh, Spain for the FIBA, uh, qualifying games.

And you, you just feel so much better than a week ago of what his level of impact can be this year.

I think that at, at, at minimum, at minimum Adai Mara is a, is a high, uh, impact backup big man for this roster, which is saying a lot considering the big man options that they have.

There were times where he just wasn't running up the floor as fast as you would like for him to.

Um, and he put in work since then.

I mean, yeah, he went back to Spain, uh, you know, playing, uh, with Team Spain over there, had OKC trainers out there.

Uh, put in work just leading up to training camp, put in some more work then.
