he is an NBA freak
he told her the Spain men basketball team has been upset by Brazil
he didn't tell her that Spain was the no 2 seed of the competition
he didn't tell her that what Spain has achieved in international competition for the last 10 years has been impressive
he didn't tell her Brazil has a great basketball tradition, often than not been overshine or under the shadow of its football/soccer team
he didn't tell him the pride, honor, sacrifice a national basketball player has for playing for his nation in the olympic was something he felt touched and that's the reason why he also like to watch international backetball competition, beside closely following the NBA games
pride, honor, sacrifice ... would he explain to her
would she get it？
the honor ？
the loyalty to the country that comes with it?
