Printezis

She was patient every morning waiting for some of the older players to drop off for training. Junior joined the first team as all juniors imagined to play for the first team. From the start he played unusual. It seemed as if he had come out of a Spanish workshop with all those darts with one hand and a shot from the ground.
Jonas Kazlauskas thought he was not good enough. He went for a good contract at Unica, where he mostly carried the epitaph of the predicted player. "Close his roling to the left and that's it." Then he broke his hand and slowly tune in oblivion. If you told a few years ago that Jorgos Printezis would be the king of uncertain endings and that his bases would be remembered, he would probably laugh with sourness.

The squad does not make a man. So tattoos do not make Printezis. It's hard to find a decent guy. He mostly looks at his work, playing field sports. Many Greek journalists say that all of these good things could not get to a more normal person. So Printezis became a real hero. Istanbul is for all time. The weight of the skein that he then struck was hard to discuss. I remember we all pretended "Oli" on the "Sinan Erden" halls. Not before the finals but immediately after they beat Barselon. "There will be 40 differences," they said.

The Olympics players worked totally relaxed. "What's the connection will be broken again" ... So it was either - three quarters. One of the "flippers" left and right hand that Printezis had hit close eyes was ruled by CSKA. You know who was on the other side? Kazlauskas. How fate takes care of some things.

In 1997, in Rome, Olimpijakos beat Barselon in the final. Barsa retired in 2010 in Paris. Two years later Ivkovic appeared with some Mancaris who played a fantastic defense against Navara. At that time, we saw Papanikolau, Slukasa ... on the big screen. Pero Antić described Jorgos Barcasas as a man who controls an aircraft with an autopilot. How is a team who knows what to do when it matters? This thesis was mostly accurate in London. It seems to be true right now.

If you could have heard timeshare Janis Sferpulos before the last attack, what he drew and what happened on the ground was heaven and earth.

Sferopulos drew the action for Spanulis, his shot and collective offensive leap, and the players played the feeling. They both slid for Slukas and this without looking at Printezis as if it was the most recent addition to the world. And then Printezis, who did not hit any torpedoes at Barselon at that moment. This Olympics is a tough team. Resistant to any changes. I just can not explain Olver Lafaye to stop. Oliver plays his or her own from Valenciy, ie, reigning while half the ballroom catches. Most of the team is not in love with Sferopulos, but professionally doing all their tasks. Many of them were shocked by the first Sferopoulos training, where he probably tried to hide behind arrogance, but who asks you now.



Olympics is the third F4 in the last four years, with three different coaches. Once dismissed Dorsey, great Hines, Papanikola, Pero Antić, Acie Law ... today Hunter, Dunston, Lafayette, Coach, Assistant Coach. While Spanulis, Printezis, Slukas, Mantzaris there ... almost no matter who they are. They do not play nice, far from it ... but they always find their way. In the end, it is just that important.

O BARSELONI ...

Barclays this season had perhaps the best team in the last three years, but in the end will not see either F4. Ćavi Paskval fell in 2011 against Panathinaikos ... now against Olympiacos. Both times in the quarterfinals. Both times with the advantage of a domestic pitch. Olympiacos plays very aggressively on the pick and roll. Highspeed players are also 10 meters away. On the other hand Barsa has the best pitcher among the centers and the best in the short opening after the block - Anto Tomic. That's why Olmpijakos seemed to have to drastically change his style of play and adapt Tom's ability to split the dogs five yards apart. That simply was not the case. Barsa throughout the whole series did not make any significant advantage in this way. The outside line with the exception of Satoran, who took over as the main organizer of the game, looked desperate. How to tell Navaru to stay on the bench? He is aware of Paskval that Navarro can no longer, but how to tell him after all. And it is evident that Juan Carlos is late for at least two steps.

A very important move at Barse's four-minute game from minute to end. At the footsteps of Spanulis, Navarro slides into the racket of all the men and leaves Mancaris completely alone. Vangelis hit 9 trophies in 10 series of 10 attempts. That you read good. If that was not enough enough, then the nine-meter-long stone stone that the attack should be ahead of. However, we will never remember Navarre as Joe Dumarsa. Its overtaking has come to an end but it is no longer the case. Too much lost balls, too much dribbling in empty, too inauspicious additions.

Dejvid Blat

The American in Tel Aviv is all but a rare occurrence. Businessmen, politicians, spies, lobbyists and of course athletes from the United States often visit this city. American players, regardless of the tensions and the constant threat of armed conflict, are one of their favorite destinations. The answer is always the same: "It's like I'm at home." Everyone is talking English, TGI Friday, McDonalds, Burger King, Dunkin 'Donuts, Pizza Hut. A handful of US managers have strong ties to Israel, so their clients - if the small financial difference - prefer that league. Money is paid on time. Night life is great, women are surprisingly beautiful. The sun is stationed throughout the year. A lot more, no matter how you turn.

When you first visit Tel Aviv, the basic impression is - an artificial town. Like it was made for the purpose of filming a movie. In some respects, it reminds Las Vegas, because it works to be built in the middle of nothing but having one big advantage. The streets are never deserted. Clubs and cafes are full almost every night and there is simply a pulse that you can hardly feel in most European cities, where after 22 o'clock there is a lot of rolling ...

Through Tel Aviv, he accompanied my friends to the daughter of Maccabee legend Moni Fanan, Fani. Many had been a frenzied team manager for Maccabees for almost 20 years and worshiped him all. The players believed him so much that he got their money to continue investing and of course created additional profits. This is not a small thing, especially not in basketball in Europe, where most of the players are lustrous, in the sense that they rarely pay their coffee, let alone others.

Moni became famous for the fact that he was always dressed in black at matches and wearing a big "rolex". His investments made profit for some time, after which the head of the project, Nicholas Levene, began to turn the money into his pockets. In the end, Levene struck 200 million euros, and Moni remained in debt to his friends - as money was donated on a friendly basis - some 15 million euros. Fanan found himself in an inconvenient situation and ultimately took life away ...

For me, as I believe in most basketball lovers, Maccabi always looked like an impeccably organized club. Hall Jad Elijah, as one of the three best basketball I've ever seen. Plates that never get late. Precise skauting. Perfect marketing. Always a free place for the players and legends of the club. Ten thousand subscription cards. Pride of the state. The Israelis are watching and pushing each other, are not they? Sooner through the stories of former players and people from basketball, you realize that this, as well as many other things in life - a pure stereotype.

In Maccabi, my feet will get wet as well as with us. Negative actions and the elimination of unsuitable were brought to perfection. It's important to you, not what you know. David Blatt felt best on his skin. For years, it has been underestimated for years, irrelevant, except for those who know the situation in the club. Blatt baptized countless times where he most wanted to succeed. He was busy crafting. He has created a wall around him, he has worked on tactics and personal marketing, and at this point he may be the most sought after coaching name in Europe. It's not bad for someone selling Xerox copiers ...

David Blatt from this perspective has a basketball genius. He worked in Boston, played for the Celtics and listened to the Celtics broadcast on the radio. He studied at Princeton. Yes, he played for great Pete Carrila, the creator of Princeton's attack and that he was an athletically helpless puppet. Immediately upon completion of the college, Blatt went to Israel to try to play professionally. He has been for three years. The horse was pretty thin. He returned to the United States and started to visit the company by offering the Xerox appliance ... "Excuse me, do you have five minutes, I would like to show you our assortment ..."

He did not last long. He returned to Israel to play basketball. There was also the legendary long service of military service awaiting him. He completed his toy career with Achilles tendon cuff, and the trainer started to do what he remembered and learned from Pete Carrillo, and there really is something to be learned.

He worked as an assistant coach, and as a chief coach, and then returned as an assistant. It was saved by the fact that American coaches generally have no complex to be assistants after they have already tasted the position of the first trainer. Most European experts are below the honor, in America this is quite a normal thing.

The Maccabees had conveyed a few times and spat David Blatta. He was the first assistant to the colorful Pinja Gershon, who led Maccabi to the first title of the European Champion in recent history, then called Suproliga. Blatt was bleeding over the opponents' games, analyzing the mane, looking for places to attack. Pini, as the legend says, was mostly interested in tapping the phone bill and searching for quality dining places that also have home delivery ...

After defeating Panathinaikos in Paris, David Blatt received his chance at the position of the first coach. He has won domestic trophies in the next two years and has bet on the F4 Euroliga one day, but as soon as Maccabi made a team

CIBONA

I still remember the first season of the Adriatic League. There was no drug in the cold Zetra viewers. Bosnia won two victories in this premier edition of this competition, and during the mandate of Draško Prodanovic he has drawn over 20 players. The best shooter of the league was Marino Baždarić, then Rijeka player, Triglav Osiguranja, as they were called at that time. Baždarić was also 13 years later in the league. His team-mates in the Cedevita training center cloaked a picture of this season, which he is set to miss, only with the ball in his hand - a huge brick.

During the ABA League we did not see too much surprises. The biggest one a few days ago was held by Zadar, who in 2003 defeated Maccabi from Tel Aviv in Ljubljana and won the trophy. Zadar had Marko Popovic in top form, Michaela Meeksa, Canada's representative, and nine-player rotation, where there was no room for then 19-year-old Marko Banić. Maccabi was extremely strong (Vujcic, Goree, Lewis, Sharp, Burstein, Bluthental, Udrih, Bechok), but they were looking for their identity after leaving Huffman and McDonald, and they just completed the team that won two Euroliga in a row.

Somewhere near this success of Zadar there are also two Reflex trophies, ie FMP. Especially the first one, won in Zagreb, with injured Reggie Freeman in the final against Cibona, which was then played today by two coaches - Slaven Rimac and Jurica Golemac. The second was in Sarajevo against Partizan. Both triumphs with the difference point. Krka played F4 in 2011 when it was a little anticipated. The first place in the league last season won Igokea.

Cibona in the Belgrade Arena exceeded all that. Both Zadar and Reflex-FMP, Hemofarm, and Krk and Igoke. Never the less resourceful team with the worse situation in the club, with a shorter rotation of players and coaches, did not win this competition.

Cibona is one of the largest clubs in the ex-Yu area. A double European champion. Dražen Petrović. Mirko Novosel. Perhaps also the best team in the field that was seen in this area. The first ones had the best conditions. The first ones had their own hall. Even the collapse of Yugoslavia did not affect Cibona, moreover. They became Croatian Maccabees. The most expensive paid domestic players, the best foreigners, the best deals, the withdrawal of young players who like it. Regular participation in Euroliga.I so until a few years ago ...
When 10 days ago we went to Cibona's training in the "Box of matches", they seemed oblivious to everyone.

From the nearby fitness center, someone would occasionally try to look at where the TV crew are and what they are doing, in the style of "Is anyone interested in Cibona yet?"

A professional man of two men. Team manager who has five more club functions. Equipment that looks like it was made from home. There was only one player in the training that he could play five to five ... Again, the love and respect between them were visible even after five minutes. The Blassing was scorned by the rest of the team, Šarić finished free kick on handball, they all flipped and shaken after a good move. Slaven Rimac emitted some strange silence. He looked and sounded like a man who deeply believes in his team and his players regardless of circumstances. Otherwise, I guess and can not work under the given conditions.
After the departure of Nevena Spahija, Strawberry, Janning and Žižić, Cibona had a visit to Kragujevac somewhere around the New Year. The defeats are in an uncertain ending. After the match, people close to Cibona thought loudly: "I do not know how to stay in the league at all. Our situation is desperate."

Cibona managed to keep Darko Planinić, who was far from the right form. Ivan Siriščević, who signed literally for apartment and food, was brought to the chips. A series of wins went to the team that saw a payout from the beginning of the season, whose 20-year-old was playing, whose career "cared for" the tens of baba, who had a single center, and at some moments only one change. The organization of the game was left to a sporadic US 175cm long, balancing between lost balls and love problems. Somehow, very often inexplicable, this company was down to F4.

ALI

"How to strike, what you do not see ..."
As in every Yugoslav family and in my house, every possible sport was watched. Biathlon, nordic running, jumping, tennis, what your heart desires. Again, in addition to the usual football and basketball tournaments, the number one sport in Avdić's home was Boxing.

Daddy, and just before him, they were all around for important boxing matches. It did not miss it. Meza and drinks in pajamas like Reuf, Nele and Minka in Nadrealists. I remember sitting early in the morning in the living room after Tyson's shocking defeat of Buster Douglas, while the old man recalled: "Fuck, Lose Tyson" (I think the bettors did not exist there, the man was simply shaken).

Only one of the athletes I knew almost all of the oral tradition, without ever watching him live.

Muhammad Ali.

The details of the matches that the two gentlemen talked to me were so accurate and precise that I asked them years later that it was possible to remember so many moments from one look, but she probably meant how much it meant (again, the old could have 45 minutes to the story of Oscar Bonaveni, and my name was festoon. When I was eight, I wanted to call Oscar Bonavena.) Not just them. For entire generations of people who sat watching his mastery Muhammad Ali was and remained bigger than life. Compound everything. Looks like (Mom's Mom With It: "Extremely Handy Man For Boxer Pretty"), Wit, Talent, Stories, Attraction, Courage, Decisiveness. It's like letting you sing a singer, rapper, actor, writer, revolutionary, visionary into one person and give her the biggest boxing talent ever seen. That was Muhammad Ali. About.

The story has so much and it is so fascinating that there really is not an athlete who can approach it from this time distance. Everything they are trying today in any sport, But he worked in the 1960s and worked better ... "Sonny Liston is a big, ugly bear, after winning it I donate it to a zoo ..." Doctor of provocation, master of promotion. which black managers and portparoli ... But I was all alone.

After winning the Gold Olympic medal in Rome, Kasijus Klej went with a medal around the door to a nurse in his Lujvila to eat something. The landlord was waiting for him at the time with well-known words: "The blacks here are not good here" ... "I want to eat ... I'm an Olympic champion, see the medal!" Klej replied. "For me you are just a nigger".

There were also several local caucuses in the quarrel who were barely receptive to starting a quarrel with a black guy. They followed him after he left the restaurant in order to be beaten and of course made a fatal mistake. Clay beaten them in a row and then dragged the gold medal into the water that was never found later ...

The champion has been victorious by the terrible Sonny Liston of a man with the mafias of the ties and the blow he has been burning. Shortly thereafter, Kasijus Klej became Muhamed Ali. Shortly thereafter, he received a call to war in Vietnam.

Unlike most athletes who are mostly involved in telling what people like to hear or when they open their mouth, they say some things that kill you in the mind, But he was intelligent enough and brave enough to fight for his beliefs and not to take it. "I do not want to kill the Vikingsongers, they did not do anything to me in life, they never called me a nigger, unlike some others ...". He did not want to respond to the army. He was sentenced to imprisonment. He came to recruiting in Houston and after having named his name three times, he did not go out.

He was sentenced to a wholly white jury of five years in jail and $ 10,000 in fines. Given that the appeal was immediately made and that a paid deposit was paid But he did not go to jail, but he could not have officiated matches for three and a half years ... "He stole the three best years of his career, when he was at the peak he could not boxing. " - said his legendary coach Angelo Dundee ...

He returned after the Supreme Court pronounced the decision invalid and there was a boxing anthology in which two more men participated. Muhammad Ali, Smokin 'Joe Frazier and Big George Foreman. The greatest and best era in the history of boxing. Three uncompromising fighters. Ready to die for victory. Charismatic, original characters with film behavior and nicknames. Everyone with a special style in the ring and out of it.

Muhammad with his "I AM THE BEST! EVERY TIME !!" performances. Joe Frazier, a silent, always blurry lookout from the streets of Philadelphia and George Forman, the strongest striker in box history. A man out of his hands holding his hands in his pockets as if he was hiding guns ... But after three years the break did not "fly like a butterfly and beaded like a bee". The fastest leg in the history of boxing was no longer there, but the incredible desire to be a champion was still present ...

NBA

CLIPPERS - SPURS

If San Antonio got to New Orleans (last game in front of the playoffs) he would be second and had the advantage of home-field. But it is not. Docu Riversu wiped out in front of his eyes when he realized that with all his teammates he had an unrivaled San Antonio in the first round. What can. Must play. And the game is great.

Clippers are the best attacking league. Chris Paul has perhaps agreed on two of his best games in his career-playing career. Blake Griffin tried to kill Baynes, then performed a top job on both sides of the floor in the fourth match. JJ Redick plays the best season in life. Again, on the other hand, he was an astronaut. This is a couple of millions of lives. What else to say or write about Tim Duncan. About a man's desire to play basketball and win. The way he pulled the team in the second match with almost 40 years on his back is fascinating. Kawhi Leonard looked like Scottie Pippen in the third game in which Spurs disarmed Clippers. The incredible progress of the player who stays 26% off the distance at the college.

After the third match, Rivers decided not to hurt the training, but his team watched the video for three hours. Then they got the fourth. The Clippers' bench is as thin as paper, spinning around six and a half, but from where ever the Austin Rivers controversial. Tatin's son dropped 16 points in the fourth match. Rivers junior has passed the path of the best high school student through a real-life duo at Duke, who has been kidding Krzyzewski at every step (though he has scored three wins against North Caroline) to full flush in the first NBA years. He always has a dribbling overhead, spurs from impossible situations and sees nothing but a knife. In short, he did everything that Dad did not do as a player, but he saved his club season on Sunday.

Spore is suffering health problems. Parker is again pulling the tire injury and for now Paul destroys it on both sides of the parquet (like Danny Greene, who is the second option in defense and after Chrisa's loss of power is lost for attack). The Splitter also struggles with injury, Patty Mills played great in the second match but did not have the constant he had last season. Joseph is mostly useless attacker. Clippers drift with Boris Diawa, while Dean Jordans' defensive tactics have not made the desired results for now because Clipsi with all the firing bricks captures 20% of his second fatal defeat. Chris Paul scored 34 points in the game, only two (!?) on the ring, all left out of his kingdom - poludistance, where this season is the best in the league.

Nowadays, the strikers can not get the double block Jordan - Griffin for Paula in the central position. Chris Paul is the closest in his career to the 2008 finals conference as a member of New Orleans. They were 2-0 and 3-2 and they had the seventh place home. It did not help. You know who was on the other side? San Antonio...

CHICAGO - MILWAUKEE

What a fuck up you are in Chicago. As if they were practicing in the Russian or Greek league. The war on the relationship between Tom Thibodeau and the team management lasts for at least four years, but this season has completely escalated. To the extent that no one has any more dilemma for Thibs to get fired, even if they win the title. They were wondering about the players' minute, about a professional staff look around, about money, about all possible things. Thibs is a man you can blame for, but dedication to call and basketball - you can not. A person who does 12 hours a day (no exaggeration) in his office by compromising the five and defense systems and attacks, still deserves a little more respect. Officially from Ron Adams, Thibs' assistant has just helped Golden State become the best defender in the league. In Bulls, he considered him an old-fashioned old man who followed more poetry than basketball.

Basically, Bulls easily got the first two games, and after Derrick Rose brilliant in the third game, it was clear that there was only one thing - this is likely to be a scumbag. And look now. Jason Kidd got his hands off to turn Buck to his lab. After failing to shoot at Brooklyn, this was an ideal scenario for him. Even if Larry Sanders did not lose his mind, imagine what this defense was.
The whole team of Bucks looks like the fruit of genetic engineering. You do not usually see a basket from your hand. Hanson, Carter Williams, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Middleton, Pachulia, Ilyasova, Dudley. They are all 200 to 211 cm high. Hands? Well, there's one 30-meter hand in this rotation. Important information. The second best defense in the league this season is Milwaukee. Last night, eight blockbusters were released only in the fourth quarter !! Michael Carter Williams, the fifth full match, went right to Derrick Rose or a forward or back to the basket. Even when Middleton, Mayo and Dudley hit the outside, Bucks are all but naive teams. Add to this adds that there is no most talented team in Jabari Parker, who was knocked out early in the season.

Drazen Petrovic

On this day, exactly 23 years in the traffic accident on the Frankfurt - Munich motorway, one of the greatest European basketball players of all time, Dražen Petrović, was killed.

We are writing to you by Edina Avdić about Dražena Petrović, who wrote three years ago, on the 20th anniversary of the death of this great basketball player: I do not remember that more people came up with just one topic for this Tuesday. On a street, in a cafe, in a store ... How do I reject a text about a man who has moved to European basketball standards, who has done so to compare each of the quality bans from this area. Replacement until today did not find and I do not believe we will ...

One of my most beloved ones, whose advice I fully appreciate and respect, told me: "Some people are destined to be legends, to do things they will remember forever in their short lives, such soulmates do not get to mud and kafane maladies ... ".

Drazen Petrovic was destined to be a legend, and yet, I'm sorry to write it. He needed to go there occasionally to appear in a show and say he was worried about the state of today's basketball. As the players do not train enough, he still can put 20 in everyone.

It's been 20 years since his death and every time I see the picture of that frozen "golf" I think the same thing. How could such a player, such a special player, end up in such a way, in that disgusting "golf" on the eerie road, somewhere in Germany. Life does not end up being the best athletes in the world ...

"No one can stop it!" My father always spoke, who even "pulled me" to look at Drazen Petrovic.

Everything was normal when you watched him play. To score 60 points, to hit seven three in a row, without any mistakes, strike each essential free throw, to deflect the defensive player with his combination through the legs and behind his back. The most normal thing in the world. His Cibona was the best team I've ever seen. People almost did not miss, and the head of everything was a boy with a slightly open mouth and a clenched fist. In my house he always recalled that the day after the conquest of KEŠ he parked a car in front of the hall, took the ball out of his hand and went out to further spin.

Dražen because of his Jordanian desire to destroy the rival and was not particularly favored among opponents' supporters. Unlike, say, Tony Kukoč, who was universally adored in all the ex-YU halls, Drazen was either worshiping or not. The middle could not be.

During his time the woods did not go to the NBA or stayed there for longer than a minute. At that time, it was not enough for someone to "perceive" the potential, so that you would have the "scream" of the saliva that for more than a decade brought types of glacial mobiles to take millions. Then you were lucky if you were west to the other or the start of the third round and in Europe you won all the rage and pushed 30 by the game.

When someone reminds me of Ricka Adelmana, it is still the first association that I did not give Dražena to play. Since he could not see what he was looking at, and after all these years, it is not clear, nor can I accept any explanation. I remember how her father rolled his teeth as we watched the finale against Piston and said "It's possible this fool will not introduce Drazen to the game ... Is it possible?" Danny Young was playing I remembered for gaining the advantage of the best European striker. He was playing because Adelman could not understand, to understand. If anything, he learned after that mistake ...

Going to Netse was like stepping down the stairs into the dark basement. My whole society was heavily infected with the NBA virus. We realized that the NBA was another dimension compared to everything we watched in our league so far, but still we could not easily figure out a picture of "NBA action", where out of the top 10 moves of the week, three were staging Stacey Augmona over and over Drazen.

Again, the work cured everything. Does not a shot go? Drazen walked alone in the hall while his arm was running. Are you in touch? In addition, stretch the tension. The center that comes from Europe comes to the NBA and is not so difficult to find a way, but bless ...

To be third in the league of '93, to be the third best defender in the NBA in 1993, where you are white from the former Juge, from Sibenik, and your opponents are Michael Jordan, Clyde Drexler, Mitch Richmond, Joe Dumars, Reggie Miller John Starks, Vernon Maxwell, Byron Scott, Dale Ellis, Dan Majerle, Mahmoud Abdul Rauf, Ron Harper, Jeff Malone, Jeff Hornacek, Hersey Hawkins, Kendall Gill and Ricky Pierce are almost impossible. (This is how you read what the beats played in the NBA at the end of the '80s, in the early 1990s, that's for sure.) Dražen has spent more than 20 points per game in this basketball machine competition for two years, with 50% of the play-off ...It was allegedly the New Yorker at the end of the season and imagine that Pat Riley brought him one of the best shots of the world on that Knick's defense. Does anyone think Dražen Petrovic shuts 2-11 out of the game as Starks in the seventh game of the finals? Something I'm not sure ...

The VHS tape I watch is not with the match where Drazen puts 70 points or something. Not. I'm watching a tape in which Drazen commented on the Boston-Indiana match-break and breaks down every player (Dražen during a two-minute story about Mike Sanders, you're impressed that he knows more about his game than he is) on the ground and the attacks and defense of both teams, to understand at the moment: "That's why he is the best. He knows everything about basketball." The comment after a while sounds so good that I do not see the picture at all but just listen to the story ...

I found 5,000 mans for the documentary "Once Brothers", but one scene was engraved in memory forever. When Dino Rađa tells Dražen's decision not to enter the plane, but to continue with the car. As he talks about the black clouds flying around the plane below the plane, and as a pilot asks the passengers to tie the belts due to the upcoming turbulence, Rađa looks at the clock and at that moment Dražen's car is below them. That is the time when life is one of the best of all times ...

While Raja tells my tears, my face is down my cheeks. I can not stop them. About 15 people are sitting around me and at no time is not unpleasant. Pain comes to my eyes ... I did not cry when he was killed, but as I listened to Raoden's story, tears did not stop. I've been watching the documentary several times, and that statement comes out every time. I can not defend myself ...

This is not a text about his matches and trophies. Every basketball lover he would have to know in his dream would have it. This is my powerlessness to choose a picture of "golf" hit in a truck ... Some people are destined to be legends and to remember them for good for good ... It's the only explanation I have, and I know it's not good enough.
