Brandon Jennings 61
Jeremy Tyler, have you ever seen a Euroleague game?
I read the news about the decision made by high school junior Jeremy Tyler last week and was really surprised. A 17-year-old US guy stops his high school career a year before graduation to play in Europe? After the Brandon Jennings door-opener this season, I thought that maybe some other HS seniors would go that […]
Coming next season to Europe: 2011 NBA No. 1 Draft Pick
Well, the expected has already taken hold: Just like Brandon Jennings this past off-season, an American has decided to forgo college to play professionally in Europe. Only this time, unlike Jennings who graduated high school only to decline a scholarship at Arizona, Jeremy Tyler is leaving high school early to head to the Continent.

Monday's cigarettes
Before leaving for a well-deserved holiday, I selected some of the most interesting stories of the last weekend for you, leaving you in good hands before coming back.

Letter to Santa Claus
Dear Santa Claus, First of all, thank you for existing. Because during such a crisis as this, I’ve been worrying that Christmas might also be reserved for the Chapter 11 treatment. But you’re not still dead, maybe you’re searching for money like General Motors and Chrysler are (oops…maybe you’re healthier, up there in Lapland). I’m […]
Euroleague Power Rankings (Week 7)
The last game day before Christmas is just ahead, so let’s check which are teams are hot and which are not at the moment. 1. CSKA Moscow (6-1) (+1) It was just a short-term downgrade to second place for CSKA Moscow. An emphatic win against Panionios and a hard-fought victory over Unics Kazan helped them […]
Monday's cigarettes
Yeah, Christmas is coming closer and the Euroleague is in full force, right? Ricky plays again and immediately wins against Brandon. What better moment for some smoky cigarettes on a Monday morning? Even USA Today reported (through Jonathan Givony) on the Ricky versus Brandon game. French magazine Basketnews reported a very nice story about the […]
Brandon Jennings' coach says Arrivederci
What has already been reported by a multitude of media became official yesterday evening: Jasmin Repesa resigned from his coaching job at Lottomatica Roma. But the story that sounds pretty familiar is probably bigger news in the United States, as Roma is the team of Brandon Jennings. So I imagined a US version of the […]

After a short version last Monday, we are back now with a full force of tasty, smoky cigarettes. “At the end of the day, it is here where I am doing what I always expected, what I was supposed to do when I was young, before the injury: to be a leader of one of […]
