Completed in Spain the debate on the express nationalization of Lorenzo Brown to play with the Spanish basketball team, with whom he played a superlative Eurobasket, the controversy has been reopened.
Las criticism came this time in the mouth of Pablo PrigioniArgentine basketball legend and coach of the albiceleste, who did not cut himself: “I prefer to lose with our people – from Argentina – than try to win with a person who is not Argentine. As long as I am in the National Team we are not going to nationalize anyone ” , he stated in an interview granted to the specialized website Basketball Plus. Prigioni went further in his diatribe: “The national team is the purest thing there is, we already have clubs to make signings.”
Lastly, Prigioni compared the feelings towards Brown’s Spanish jersey compared to that of other Spanish players: “I don’t think he feels the shirt like Rudy or Llull”.
At the moment, no one from the Spanish team has come out to answer Prigioni, who has reopened a debate and a controversy that seemed already settled.
