Sin embargo, los seguidores norteamericanos han vuelto a poner en evidencia su falta de conocimiento sobre el resto del mundo. Ayer por la tarde se pudo comprobar a través de las redes sociales que hay aficionados que no sabían que, a pesar de militar en franquicias NBA, jugadores como Pau y Marc Gasol o Serge Ibaka disputaban la final con España y no con Estados Unidos.
He aquí una recopilación de tweets elaborada por el blog BBallHeadlines que lo demuestra:
