The serious news first: NBA “veteran” Vitaly Potapenko just signed with the Spanish club MMT Estudiantes (Madrid). Is this really worth some news on BallinEurope? Well, of course, since Madrid is in Europe and Vitaly is an NBA LEGEND – yes, this has to be written in capital letters. I remember from my youth team in Germany, if you made these jokes, that you will make it to the NBA, your friends always would say :” Sure you will, and it will look like Vitaly Potapenko!” Everybody wanted to be in the NBA – but more like Scottie Pippen, Karl Malone, hell some people even wanted to be this guy - but Vitaly Potapenko?
This is the only reason why I do remember Vitaly – it is like a little night mare – NO, please don’t call me Vitaly!
But even just the picture on Vitaly’s NBA info page is worth a post – check it out.
EDIT: I just checked YouTube why people think to be Vitaly isn’t that cool – Smush Parker dunks on him – and is the first video when you look for Vitaly Potapenko on YouTube.


supposedly he looks like crap and might already get cut.
You’re an idiot.
Vitaly is one of my friends, he is a great player. You are a faggot.
Nice blog homo. Oops, look out! Vitaly just bought your family with the bank he made sitting on the bench in the league. Now go back to jerking off under your Nowitzki poster.
Was Vitaly ever married to Madina Adilova?
11 nba years and 6.5ppg 4.5rpg career averages are WAY above average nba career.
Vitaly and Madina were married in September of ’07
Yo Big Ups to my boy “V”…..yall need to stop hating on my boy!!!! I just talked to him……Spain sucked and he has officially retired and is chillin with Madina and getting ready to make babies. He is chilling in Miami.
