Remember that there is this “second chance tournament” for teams who did not qualify the first time for the Olympics? Well the draw will be tonight at approx. 6:30pm European time in Greece.

Watch out Pini Gershon!
January 31, 2008
I just finished watching the re-run of Olympiakos vs. Siena. I mean it was an exciting game right? A solid Marc Jackson with 23 points, 9 rebounds and even 5 assists. But it was Terrell McIntyre who spoiled Marc Jackson’s performance. Read more
Basketball Camp in the U.S.
January 31, 2008
Since we get about 10 emails a month if we know a good camp where parents can send their kids, I will talk about one camp that I know myself. I am talking about the official basketball camp of the Philadelphia 76ers. It always was my dream and will always be a kids dream to play in the United States.

Yes, this is what offers the French Basketball league from the 1st of February. So yare you ready to see Nicolas Batum or Marc Salyers in action? Nope, you are not in the right place then, because it is not the Men’s league but the LFB, the french women’s league that I am talking about.

Fan Mail Jordi Bertomeu
January 29, 2008
In a time where a lot of talk is going around about Web 2.0 and crowdsourcing, the Euroleague offers now the possibility to ask their CEO Jordi Bertomeu a question - from fan to fan. This concept has already been used with some of the EL players, but now you can go directly and ask Jordi whatever you want.
Jose Calderon needs some back up!
January 29, 2008
Mike Ganter of the Toronto Sun (via True Hoop) brings us some interesting news about the Spanish point guard. When I think of Jose I always think of him raising his hands up and showing three fingers. Doesn’t matter if he himself makes the three or if a team mate hits it - the three fingers are up all the time. Read more
