Group B play in the Olympics begins today, with the most anticipated match up featuring 76ers Dario Saric and Sergio Rodriguez as Croatia takes on Spain.
Among all players in the tournament, Saric maybe evokes the most curiosity from NBA fans even outside of Philadelphia. This will be the biggest stage we’ve seen him play on, and NBA fans biding their time for two years for the man who does not lie will see him play against very legitimate competition. This will not be the grainy internet streaming party of the summer of 2014 that Sixers fans tuned into on weekends at 6:00 AM - this is the world watching on international television in prime time.
