Many sports analysts especially fans were surprised to see the finals open at the FIBA ​​World Cup in Spain and Argentina. Even before the prestigious tournament began in China, many expected Team USA to still be the team to beat. Fans have repeatedly said that the FIBA ​​championships are "boring" because America's All-NBA stars are gone.

But for basketball legend Kobe Bryant, 41, the Spain and Argentina finals will be historic and even call it an "epic" game. Bryant has just released a picture of them with another retired NBA superstar and legend Manu Ginobili who will enjoy watching FIBA ​​in China.

“Great basketball with great people at the @FIBAWC. Sunday’s SpainvsArgentina game is going to be epic. #WorldGotGame #FIBAWC @manuginobili, ”shared Bryant's Twitter message, also a FIBA ​​ambassador.

Remember when Kobe and Manu were young, their Lakers and Spurs were rivals. Ginobili, 42, is a former national player in Argentina and was also emotional when his country entered the finals.

He even hugged a few players, especially his greetings to 39-year-old NBA player Luis Scola, who took Argentina to the finals tomorrow.

With Argentina's strength they were able to beat France (80-66) and upset the USA powerhouse. Scola scored 28 points and had 13 big rebounds to lead Argentina to its first World Cup Semi-Final win since 2002.

Argentina had previously won the World Cup for the first time since 1950. In the World Cup 2002 Finals they lost to the world champion and now they have the confidence again. Spain side Marc Gasol, meanwhile, welcomed many, as he had only two championships in three months.

Remember that Gasol was part of the NBA's Raptors championship team and now he is part of unbeaten Spain again. At 8am tomorrow night will face Argentina versus Spain held in Beijing, Wukesong Sport Arena.
