My little brother is a Barcelona fan

June 15, 2008 by Tobias 

You might think an eight-year-old German boy is all about soccer; well, yes he is, but there is still one other thing he also likes a lot: basketball. Being 27 and having a much younger brother is pretty cool, and it’s even nicer to see him wanting to play basketball with me all the time.

A few weeks ago I met with former Orlando Magic center Mario Kasun, now playing for FC Barcelona. After a Euroleague game I asked him if he could give me his jersey for my little brother since he started to collect them.

Of course, my brother wanted to wear it, but as you can imagine a 3XL jersey is pretty big for an eight-year-old. On Tuesday, I had to tell him that FC Barcelona just lost in the Spanish finals but he still wanted his jersey, telling me that he would keep it until he can actually wear it as a jersey and not as a dress:

Well, Mario, my brother just wanted to say thanks, and this is why we wrote this post.

    Mario was a role model for a pro baller here in Frankfurt, always friendly to the people, its sad, that he wont join Hrvatska for the Pre-Olympic Tournament in Athens.
