Super Timberwolves: Peks, AK-47, Shved, Rubio as manga-style heroes

February 7, 2013

BallinEurope would really appreciate it if a native speaker of Japanese could translate the below piece on Nikola Pekovic and the Minnesota Timberwolves which recently ran in the periodical Dunk Shot – but it’s already a great big hunk of awesome. Check out the manga versions of Peks, sharp-angled Andrei Kirilenko, Alexey “Tiny” Shved and the doe-eyed Ricky Rubio (What? No Mickael Gelabale?) doing some kind of super task forcey thing and … is that Bill Walton there in panel four?

On second thought, maybe a translation *is* necessary…

    my crack staff Japanese translation team at Decibel Bar in nYc tells me this…..

    It basically says that Pek is gonna someday be an All Star, one of those rare Europeans who plays close to the basket and strong. And then describes how to tell him apart from Kevin Love.

      Translated by my colleague from Japan –

      Pekovic said he is only number 2 in scoring and rebound, but his baby face / cuteness is number 1.

      The guy behind him in diagram 3 – may be his teammate said “his appearance is just like me * “.

      It is more cute / lovely after wearing that funny / cute head belt or fake hair…
