Euro guards break some NBA ankles

In these dark times of global financial crisis, a little fun is always nice to have. So for all those people who think that European guards are slow, uncreative or whatever, just check out what this “unknown” Brit does with Devin Harris during the NBA Europe Tour in London (found via TrueHoop):

And if this weren’t enough, just check what Beno Udrih did to “maybe future Olympiacos” player Kobe Bryant during the NBA preseason. (Thanks to Matej.)

Monday’s light cigarettes

A little later than you are used to, but here are some light cigarettes from this Monday evening.

• Devin Harris knows more French than “Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?”
• A bit more about Brandon Jennings, who has learned about being kicked out of practice.
  
• ALBA Berlin recorded their second consecutive 13,000+ attendance in the Bundesliga. Watch some highlights of the game against Telekom Baskets Bonn.
• Staying in Germany, a game in the third league was stopped because of a double backboard demolition.
• With the start of the ACB, we are also happy to see the spectacular Top 5 plays from the Spanish league again.
• Napoli and Capo d’Orlando are now definitively banned from the Italian League. Until now, it is not clear where they will begin their seasons.
• The Baltic League started with some big surprises, as Valmiera beat Zalgiris and Tartu Rock surprised Lietuvos Rytas.
