From what I’ve read the shoplifting middle bro is not much of an NBA prospect, but the youngest bro may have a good shot if he develops well.

At least there probably isn’t anything worthwhile to steal there.

It seems there are some number of Russian teams in the league.

It would be a scream if the brothers got locked up there for some offense.

Who is going to spend their hard earned money watching these unpatriotic players/teams? Think about it. I’m sure some people are working a couple of hours just for a ticket.

My post wasn’t clear. . .I was just talking about professional sports in general. The money being wasted on these empty heads laughing all the way to the bank.

Chiozza did it again!

Once we get Egbunu back, we should be ready to roll.

I don’t know much about basketball. Does playing in Lithuania put someone on track for the NBA?

One of the greatest basketball players, ever, was Arvydas Sabonis.
