  Jamon! One thing the Spanish national team has access to that Team USA does not is Iberico ham, the world’s most delicious food. It is very hard to find in the United States, and it is extraordinarily expensive, although you can find just about anything in Las Vegas, where Team USA is announcing its 12-man roster tonight on NBA-TV. Here’ the thing about the roster, though: The three extra guys (Rudy Gay, Eric Gordon, Anthony Davis) will be named to the

On a day of wild swings and finishes at the quarterfinals of the Olympic qualifying tournament in Caracas, Venezuela,  the field of Olympic contenders was reduced to four — Russia, the Dominican Republic, Nigeria and Lithuania.

That trumped the offer coming from the New York Knicks, who were willing to surrender a

In Wednesday’s game against Russia, Nuggets center Timofey Mozgov turned his ankle going for a
