The official roster for the Spanish National Team was announced by the Spanish Basketball Federation this afternoon local time in Spain. With Gasol being the only big name who has opted out from the Spanish National team, the squad looks forward to playing in the World Championships where many teams are without their stars. Spain will look to dominate and perform as well as they have during the last EuroBasket Championships and the Beijing 2008 Olympics.
