We beat Belgium to win bronze. A good tournament for us although some bad mistakes at the end almost let Belgium back in the game but I won't complain

That is real ROFL )))))

 

Russia has a "Friendship cup" in Perm these days.

 

They announced 4 team: 3 national teams - russia, Venezuela, Colombia and "Parma" (local basketball club).

Propaganda described it as an international tournament to show that russian sport is not totally blocked.

Kirilenko was happy to see national teeams from South America.

 

And...

 

"Parma" won the first quarter against Colombia  - 41:2

Total score - 155:53.

 

And... Colombian basketball federation stated that they did not send national team there )))

Furthermore - they even  did not receive invitation ))))

 

P.S. It looks like none of that players played for Colombia ever ))

Any chance to see Maduro as a small forward in the next match? :))

Some say that Kim Jong Un made 18 holes in one on his first attempt...

Something you do not see often Kutaisi intentionally tried to not win a match twice in regular time and 2 following extra times and in all 3 times failed

 

They were supposed to win by 7 points at least to keep their chance to qualify in Eurocup competition alive, so when they could win by 2 they decided to not

 

That was hilarious I recommend to watch both the ends of 4 quarter and both Extra times

Malevy Leons has made his NBA debut for OKC last night, first time in 13 years there's a Dutch player making time in the NBA  

 

Interesting thing is that he's not even the only one, there's not one, but two more Dutch players with an NBA contract this season (but no minutes yet): Jesse Edwards for the Timberwolves and Quinten Post for the Warriors, both will be likely to play in the G League first.

Why is the NBA so boring?  Stunning graphical proof here.  

 

Top half: scoring locations in 2000.

 

Bottom half: same in 2023
