The Spanish Basketball Federation has dedicated a special personalized basketball jersey for the new President Barack Obama. His name on the back with the number “23“, which is the same that he used in his school at Punahou, Honolulu (also its the same as Michael Jordan).
“We know that he is big fan of basketball”, reassured the Spanish Basketball Federation (FEB) president José Luis Sáez. “It is a gift and it is a good sign that the president of the country who is most liked in all parts of the world given on the best teams in the basketball world”.
So I guess I could put President Obama in the section for Spanish Basketball Players!
With the marks of top Spanish National teams and figures such as Rafael Nadal who just won the Wimbledon after a 44 year drought for Spanish Players and the Spanish Soccer team who also won the Euro2008 after not winning in the 40s. The national teams for Spain both women and men are hoping to follow in those footsteps in Pekin during the Olympic Summer Basketball Games!
