Here's something I do know: Adel Tlatli is a name unknown to most people following the Olympics.
In Tunisia, though, he is a hero, not to be confused with English pop sensation Adele.
Tlatli, a bespectacled 54-year-old, guided Tunisia to its first Olympic basketball qualification berth, an improbable feat when you consider that the other 11 nations in the London tournament all have at least one NBA player on their roster. (The latest U.S. Dream Team is comprised entirely of NBA players, save for No. 1 draft pick Anthony Davis of Kentucky.)
