Oso planning to go pro
This is great stuff! Thanks. Love that Davante's team is the Sea-horses!
Dominic James has no current team listed. However here is a very interesting article on his family . https://bvmsports.com/2020/07/01/dominic-james-wright-and-family-make-it-back-to-the-u-s/
I thought this was going to be a thread dedicated to Olouma Nnamaka, Junior Cadougan, Harry Froling, and Niv Berkowitz.
You want to talk about finding a place in the international game, Davante is a B League SUPERSTAR. He’s led the B League in scoring the last 3 seasons. First team selection the last 2 seasons and second team the season before. He was POY in the league last year. One of the homegrown Japanese stars resigned last year for a deal that was close to $1MM annually. And Nick Fazekas, another American who found a place as a star in the B League, gave an interview not long ago saying that coming back to the NBA on a minimum or a lot of places in Europe would be a pay cut, so safe to say DG is probably safely over that $500K mark in a league where he is beloved, likely has plenty of sponsorship/marketing opportunities, and could continue to play for another decade
No love for Cubillian Koby Mcmorrow or Mbao?
Forgot about Cubi and his little shoulder shimmy. Koby still here, don’t remember the other two.I could go back to sone of our mid 90’s legends too: Joseph, Abraham, and Shaw
Mcmorrow was a 7 footer from Canada on the 2010 team deemed ineligible to play due to knee issues and so he played at a D2 school. Mbao was also a 7 footer from Senegal on the 2010 team who was so hilariously bad in his few minutes it was comical. Ike could also be on there for honorable mention but he's like Koby in that he's still here.
McMorrow had a heart condition. He played at Tennessee Tech after transferring.
Faisal Abraham- one of my all time MU favorites. Strong rebounder and paint defender. He was a man underneath. A really nice and humble guy too. Remember seeing him often at Water St establishments, one in particular that I can’t recall the name anymore.
He'd come down to the Rec Center and play pick-up. Running into him on a screen was like running into a brick wall. He's still one of MU's all-time shot block leaders.
