Believe in .. EUROPE

January 15, 2008

We really tried. But still – some people don’t trust us. So I tried to see what people think which even Americans should be able to trust. How about Tom Ziller? If you are into NBA, NCAA – any American-related basketball you are probably reading the FanHouse – every 10 minutes – at least that is the average for their “new-post-release”. I am sure I don’t have to explain Tom Ziller to Sacramento Kings’ fans..

Why do I mention Tom Ziller? Because Tom thinks, “Europe, It ain’t so bad”.  He is quoting Pooh Jeter, Portland native and D-League veteran:

When my agent, Andre Buck, told me that a team in the Ukraine was interested in me, I didn’t want to go at first because I really wanted to go to NBA Vet camp and make a team. I had a lot of Vet Camp invites from NBA teams, but they didn’t want to guarantee me anything, so I had to go with plan B. … I’ve been here since August, and I just want to tell Mike and Jermaine that they were right, IT’S CRACKIN OUT HERE!!! Kyiv reminds me of New York City, because there are nothing but taxis out here, and how the apartments and roads are structured. The women out here are BEAUTIFUL. People drive Range Rovers, Maybachs, Bentleys, Maseratis, and even 1978 pintos. …My driver’s name is Art, and he’s the coolest dude that I know. He drives a Mercedes MayBach ( just joking, he got a new Toyota Camry, but he keep it clean tho), speaks English, and listens to rap.

That’s how it is in Europe! Beautiful girls, money everywhere and private drivers that listen to rap, plus free iPhones for everybody who enters an European country. So why don’t we have the NBA in Europe? I guess that “1.50 Dollar for one Euro exchange rate” is keeping the people away..
