Pablo Prigioni: “I don’t think Brown feels the Spanish jersey like Rudy or Sergio do”

Argentina head coach Pablo Prigioni shared his thoughts about giving passports to players to let them play for National Team.

“I was always against it [naturalization]. As long as I’m in the national team, that’s not going to happen. There won’t even be a staff member from another country,” Prigioni told Basquetplus (h/t to Basketnews).

“When I will not be here, let them [Federation] make the decision they want. For me, the national team is the purest thing. We already have club competitions to compete with players from all over the world. And I find it fantastic.

“I prefer to lose with our players than try to win with an athlete who is not from Argentina. I don’t think Brown feels the Spanish jersey like Rudy or Sergio do.”
