Andres Nocioni was diving for loose balls long after the bronze medal was already secure despite playing with a knee he twisted in Argentina's loss to the United States and the Bulls' forward thinks that his knee is fine. Maybe.
"I do not feel my knee right now because I feel my bronze medal right here," said a jubilant Nocioni, putting his hand on his heart Sunday after Argentina had beaten Lithuania 87-75.
He said the bronze medal, "Is huge for us, man. We are not like the U.S. or China. We have few medals, so we need to enjoy."
