I know Ersan Ilyasova ...he is a Turkish basketball player by the way, he is a Barca player too.

I knew Tourkoglu? Maybe I got his name wrong... He was amazing player.

I used to know pretty much every rooster in NBA 10 years ago, but somehow it lost it`s appeal for me. I used to play a lot too. Ah... remember the times of street basket, when kids used to hang outside instead of playing video games.
I used to have those ("Adidas Streetball")


Well not exactly the same, I cannot find the exact pic, as mine had a metal plaque in the front, came in nicely when you kicked someone, accidentally, of course

Boston playing some beautiful basketball so far. Nice to see them still rolling on.

[M.L. King]

In case you don't know; a huge trade has been done:
Iverson--->Detroit Pistons
Billups---> Denver Nuggets

A really bad move by the Detroit Pistons management.

[Bojan]

So Iverson is not his old self, I presume

[M.L. King]

No mate, Iverson hasn't been his old self since he left Philadelphia.

[M.L. King]

Detroit playing great with Iverson. They beat LA Lakers who were the only undefeated team until yesterday evening. However, I'm pretty sure that Iverson's in ability to play aggressive in the defensive end will prove crucial once the playoffs begin.

[Bojan]

So Iverson isn`t all that bad :P

[M.L. King]

From the offensive perspective no, but you shall see once the playoffs start (I know it's long way to go) they will be no comparison to such defensive minded teams as Boston Celtics and the Spurs.

For example look at the immediate influence Billups has had on the Nuggets. They are all at the sudden better defensive team, allowing less points... just yesterday they beat the defending champions. This season is gonna be very interesting. Let's hope Boston clinches another tittle.

[M.L. King]

Boston beat Milwaukee in the OT. Great performances by Pierce and Allen (the ex-Bucks).

[Bojan]

Shaq back at his best


He also pushed Ming on the ground few days ago

[M.L. King]

Yeah I saw that. Shaq is back.
