Rod Benson signs with SLUC Nancy
August 25, 2008 by Christophe
Rod Benson, a name known by every NBA blogger and blog reader, has signed a contract with SLUC Nancy in France. He will be with one of the two French Euroleague teams and is already a favorite to be the best Euroleague.net blogger of the season.
Benson is probably better known for his own blogging than for his actual basketball career. But now, according to the once-again excellent I Love Basket Blog, he will take the big step to Europe and play in the best league on the Continent. Being a tough rebounder, Benson should be the last piece for the Nancy management to add to their inside sector. Let’s hope he gives them as much energy as he invests in his own video productions.
Do you mean the French league? the best league of the continent? You must be kidding.
@loteq
I mean the Euroleague
YEAHH!!! Great news for the evening!!! He should be in there like swimwear…
Benson is not only a legendary-blogger (but Christophe you are still the best), but he is also a proven D-League All-Star.
I really believe that he will make some good games in the Euroleague.
If he goes on blogging, he will give us a good US perspective on the “Old Continent” and our basketball. And he will put “nancy” on the worldmap !
I am just hoping that he will not get homesick….I lived for 2 years in Nancy, it’s a nice place; but the night-life isn’t really extraordinary.
the euroleague is guna get some great things outta benson. hes energetic and entertaining. not to mention a beast on the boards. i just hope he finally gets noticed and comes back to the REAL best league. the nba!! haha. but on the real the euroleague will for sure be boomin with the addition of the rod.
Trust me, he won’t get tired of Nancy because of the night life. He was in Bismark, North Dakota for 2 years! If you’ve read his blogs on yahoo, you’d see how “un-nightlife” it was (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ball_dont_lie/post/Too-much-Rod-Benson-Public-appearances-and-smal?urn=nba,70575). He still took it all in though…as read in that blog.
[...] was also a big week because, as you may already know, I decided to skip out on the D-League and on NBA training camp and sign with the defending French [...]
To Eric: If you think the nightlife in Nancy isn’t that great, you should go to Bismarck ND. That was Rod’s last stop and if he can last there for two years I’m sure he will be fine in Nancy.
Sound health is the very goal of any human activity - more so management. Sound mental health is that state of mind which can maintain a calm, positive poise, or regain it when unsettled, in the midst of all the external vagaries of work life and social existence. Internal constancy and peace are the pre-requisites for a healthy stress-free mind. At the initial stages when engaging in a relationship, the mind may wander and go to different places. But we must have a clear aim, a clear focus, a single pointed direction. Thereafter the mind will not wander in different places. The mind will remain on only one.
