Podcast: Featuring interviews with FIBA U19 World stars Exum, Okafor, Micic, Krestinin, Milunitov

July 10, 2013

Taking the Charge podcast seriesEpisode #43 of the BallinEurope/heinnews co-produced “Taking the Charge” podcast series is now available online or via iTunes.

In this week’s edition of the ‘cast we put the proverbial bow on a notable FIBA U19 World Championship with a half-dozen interviews (they’re brief, we swear) that Mr. Hein recorded amid writing up the Prague games for the FIBA folks.

Pitching in their two cents on subjects such as the competition itself, the future (particularly intriguing for Team Australia’s Dante Exum, who’s facing a decision of colleges if any at all and new BallinEurope fave Vasilje Micic, about to try and crack the national team roster for Serbia) and Dario Saric are Exum and Micic; Team USA’s Jahlil Okafor and assistant coach Shaka Smart; Denis Krestinin of Lithuania; and Team Serbia’s Nikola Milunitov.

And invariably, there’s other basketball and sports patter on “Taking the Charge”… Hein and yours truly mentally dispose of Dwight Who, praise the offseason moves of Olympiacos, and wonder about Zalgiris Kaunas dropping its affiliation with the VTB United League for 2013-14.

The sports movie up for review this week is The Damned United, a fantastic 2009 British production about if-not-mad-at-least-a-bit-tweaked genius football manager Brian Clough and his odd spell with Leeds United for 44 days in the mid-1970s. See it if you care at all about soccer/football, sports or really good dramas.

    sorry i didn’t mean to mislead. i suppose i should have been more clear. i heard a point made by jonathan givony of draft express, on the taking charge podcast with os davis of ball in europe and david hein of hein news, regarding the choice of alba berlin being in the plans for 2k14 as being a suggestive indicator that 2k is in it simply for the sales in the larger european markets and did not necessarily choose the best 14 teams in europe. I THINK THAT is an interesting view and MAY mean that 2k will use the Euroleague teams in a limited fashion in quick game, as an option in custom season/assoc/playoff game modes rather than as fully integrated of a fashion that some of us hoped for.
