The Olympic Games in Rio de Janerio are set to commence with the opening ceremony on Friday night. Basketball begins on Saturday morning and the Los Angeles Lakers are represented in the form of newly acquired point guard, Jose Calderon, and former Laker Pau Gasol, who are both representing their home country of Spain.
Pau and Calderon have been bonding with the Spanish National Team throughout the training camp period. The two have been seen together on Gasol’s Instagram page and on their teammate Felipe Reyes’ Twitter account:
Pau and Calderon led Spain to a silver medal in the Olympic Games in London back in 2012, as the lost an uncomfortably close gold medal game to Kobe Bryant and the United States.
