Monday's cigarettes

September 29, 2008

Here we go again and the smokiest cigarettes from all around Europe have been looked at, selected and are presented to you right here.

  • It’s mystery time in Zagreb at the moment. After the departure of American PG Earl Calloway without any obvious reason, now Damir Markota did not join the team on a preseason trip to Russia without explanations.
  • But there is also good news coming from Croatia as you can see by this big smile.
  • Brandon Jennings played a practice scrimmage with Virtus Roma. And got introduced to European fouls.
  • One week before the start of the ACB, TAU Ceramica has already won their first title by winning the Supercopa on a 86-85 win in the final against CAI Zaragoza. The former Seattle SuperSonics/now Oklahoma City Thunder draftee Serge Ibaka won the Slam Dunk Contest.
  • The German Women Basketball Bundesliga will broadcast all of their games live on Zap Internet TV.
  • The German Bundesliga, in collaboration with the federation, has created a fund for youth players. This means that every Bundesliga team that gives minutes to players younger than 24 years old earns money. How much? It’s €10,000 per gameday, divided according to the minutes played. And who gets what can be seen here.
  • And we still stay in Germany for the most incredible story of the weekend. During the National Streetball Championship, eight-year-old Aaron Prenszlau won the Slam Dunk competition. Having not been at the contest, I don’t know what happened there, but he is officially the youngest ever slam dunk champion.
  • After his first high-flying impressions, Josh Childress is reported to have suffered a minor injury and has been sidelined for a week.

    Little Aaron got lifted by the other participants. The crowd liked it so he won…

    Sweet Lord Almighty, I just saw the ACB dunk contest link. That Serge Ibaka can fly! Does anybody know how many years the ACB dunk contest has been going on now?
    How many other European domestic leagues have dunk contests? Finally, does anybody know when/where the 1st dunk contest in Europe was?

    Youtube of that would be ridiculously awesome…
    I should blog on this subject…
