    Upset? Maybe if you hadn’t been watching Puerto Rico….

    One more reminder of how insanely dedicated and talented someone has to be to even be a role player in the NBA

  3. Mr_Unbiased

    Mama Mia, how basketball in Italy has fallen…the corpse of Danilo Gallinari is their best player.

  4. Impressive-Theory-27

    Jose gonna get paid next year, when he’s due for an extension

  5. Puerto Rico in the fucking house 🇵🇷🇵🇷🔥💪💪

  6. Ok-Comfortable1111

    In front of his home crowd too. One of the best feel-good stories in the league

    Alvorado was the best player in this game lol, Italy’s 3 NBA players are Gallinari, Melli, and Nico Mannion

    Man Paolo would have fit perfectly in Italy.

    Well he has little actual connection to the country but his fit on that lineup everytime I watch them I see the vision.

  9. Delusional_Lynchpin-

    If Puerto Rico can beat Mexico then they are in a great spot to play Lithuania and still make it if if they lose

  11. I am absolutely loving the parity in this year’s Olympics and it’s only gonna get better.

    This is no upset, Puerto Rico is just better than an Italian team without Fontecchio. Everything’s still in play though, there’s a chance these two teams meet again in a few days.

    I love all the upsets. Lebanon, Philippines now Puerto Rico

    I can’t see the games on Courtside even though I have bought the Olympic Qualifier pass (it tells me to buy the Max plan). Anyone knows what to do? I hate that site so much.

  19. nobody who watches BSN would be surprised by this
