Coming off a buzzer beater, Russia won the gold medal on the recent EuroBasket2007. Russia subdues the reigning world champion Spain with a slim margin of 1 point. It was really a close game from the start and up to the final buzzer. Andre Kirilenko a.k.a. AK47 lead the team with 17 points. And not only that, he also led the team by showing examples and leadership to his teammates. I’ve downloaded the game winning basket by Jon Holden on my iphone so that I could remember the game for years to come.
It was a historical game for Russia because they haven’t won the tournament since they joined the tournament the last time their country won the tournament they we’re called Soviet Union before which won 14 golds on EuroBasket. With the win Russia is now qualified to Beijing Olympics next year and together with Spain and Lithuania to complete the European team that will compete on Olypics.
