Good. Maybe Stee can play somewhere where he is appreciated. I still think he is the most electric college athlete I've ever seen

No way do I mean teal! Other than game one of the world series in 05, watching Novak against Uconn was the coolest/most fun sporting event I was ever at.

Fixed it.  The shot he made against Pitt and how he took over when Pitt was coming back.

Wes is looking to head overseas too:  http://probasketballnews.com/story/?storyid=1455

Looks like the NBA players have a much stronger bargaining position than the NFL players did :)

Is there nothing the NBA owners can do - via their player contracts - to restrict players from playing overseas?
What is the value of the contract then?

Their contracts are voided right now becasue technically there is no NBA, so these guys can do whatever they want. If the big stars go overseas, it will create a domino effect where many players will go. This is terrible news if you're an NBA fan.

Great news if you enjoy actual basketball instead of the NBA.

Let me rephrase. I am a BULLS fan. as a kid growing up in the 90s, Michael Jordan was my hero. 6 championships in 8 years makes you really appreciate a team, especially when you are a child. I love the game of basketball, but hate the direction the NBA is going in. They need to get that dumb@$$ David Stern out of office. What, 22 of 30 teams are losing money and he is still open to expansion!? If anything, they should cut three or four teams out and make the talent pool deeper. Better players=better competition and will hopefully get these guys to play to win instead of just worrying about money.

I hear ya.  As someone that should have grown up a Bucks fan it's hard for me to understand why people watch the NBA.  I'm sure you understand :)

Do European teams use the international, or NBA 3 point line?...though, not to say such would affect the great 3 point shooting of Steve. lol
