Luol Deng 50

EURO-NBA: Where Luol Deng definitely won the trade

Luol Deng is no longer a Bull but he wasn’t going to be at the end of the season anyway. The move to Cleveland gives the Great Britain international more control over his future. Two words. Two words give Luol Deng reason to be happy with his situation: Kyrie Irving. Deng has gone from being […]

The BallinEurope Eurocentric NBA preview: 25 storylines to watch

BallinEurope’s said it before and fully expects to say it again: Better late than never. Stuff like podcast recording, the day job and, you know, life, has delayed the release of this season’s “Eurocentric preview.” BiE figures he’s morally convinced, since 80% of the NBA hasn’t tipped off as of this writing. We’re doing something […]

USA 118, Britain 78: Notes, Mensah-Bonsu quotes, highlights, upcoming games

So the USA-Britain meeting in yesterday’s friendly turned out to be something described with words like “blowout,” “thrash,” “humiliate” and “eviscerate.” The last lead Team Britain had in the Red-White-and-Blues’ 118-78 win in Manchester was at 2-0, and the Brits resumed a discouraging tendency from the Eurobasket 2011 tournament, mentally lapsing and collapsing in head […]
