Jasmin Repesa 12

Vrankovic names preliminary Team Croatia roster; includes 11 Euroleaguers, just six from Eurobasket

How do you say, “Let’s clean house!” in Croatian? Because that’s the phrase Team Croatia coach Josip Vrankovic was certainly employing when he assembled his 17-man preliminary FIBA World Championship.

Letter to Santa Claus

Dear Santa Claus, First of all, thank you for existing. Because during such a crisis as this, I’ve been worrying that Christmas might also be reserved for the Chapter 11 treatment. But you’re not still dead, maybe you’re searching for money like General Motors and Chrysler are (oops…maybe you’re healthier, up there in Lapland). I’m […]

American newcomers: Who’s hot, who’s not

Early in the season, it’s difficult to judge the US newcomers you have choose; anybody wants to give them a final chance becoming acclimated to other ways of life  and play, to never-seen or -known teammates, to different expectations on them. But now that winter has come, it’s time to say something about these players. […]

Yarone's Weekend Joints – part I

Probably the best thing would be to start with an apology for the delay, and get this out of the way. I’d like to thank the academy and blame Chris for the delay, not because it’s really his fault, but just because it’s fun to blame him on everything. Give it a try… Week 5 […]
