His team is the featured Euroleague matchup on ESPn3 today, might be fun to check out for you old school VT hoops fans
EDIT
The game was Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar (Delaney's team) vs. Fenerbahce Ulker Istanbul. The link to the replay on WatchESPN is here(free to watch). Both teams are supposed to be quite good for Euroleague, take a look if you're curious about what basketball over there is like.
Apologies for not posting more info/link earlier, I was technically in the office

So... having watched Malcolm Delaney play for Tech makes me an old school VT hoops fan? Thanks for making me feel old.
You're an old school VT hoops fan if you watched a game before this year.
I'm 23 and that comment made me feel old too. Loved those Delaney/Allen/Hudson days and before that the Dowdell/Gordon/Diakite days. With some Vassallo and Green inbetween.

Look,.... Finch ... Being above 28 doesn't make you old.... Jeesh!

25 here, but been watching Tech basketball since Deron Washington in the mid 00s. Saw the dude at Best Buy in Christansburg one time when I was in highschool, but I was too timid to go say hi or ask for an autograph.
Back in MY day, we had to trek all the way to Roanoke for a Best Buy. The struggles...
I'm not young enough that I don't remember those days too. They built that thing when I was a highschool sophomore.
What is this thing you call BestBuy? Is it on the Internet! I don't actually have to go outside do I?!?
and go to a movie theater with stadium seating
Oh, yeah. In my day we had to drive to Roanoke to go to the brand new Circuit City.
His team is in the same group as Jamon Gordon's team, so they will play each other twice this winter. #GoHokies!
yeah reb played against zabian dowdell a couple nights ago too he had a picture with them guarding each other saying when is VT going to put them in the rafters. what do you guys think? think they should have their jerseys hanging up in cassell?
Oh, you babies. I saw Allan Bristow fight Larry Bird.
Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout. Watching Dell Curry shoot threes before they were worth three was a lot of fun, too.
I swear Dell would step back to be on the gobbler floor inlays on purpose.
Those were 3+ point range!
He made some wicked shots...but he could never make the one Les Henson did!
Malcolm has been playing so well overseas. I'm actually quite surprised that Jarell and Erick got shots in the NBA before him. You would think one of these teams would give him a shot.
Former Wizards Jan Vesely and Chris Singleton are in this game too.
Malcolm has had several offers from the NBA over the years, most often from the Houston Rockets but none of the offers were serious enough to outdo the offers from Euro teams. One example the Rockets offered Malcolm a three year $900K deal when his current Russian team offered him 6.4 million Euros for a one year deal. Why would he agree to such a paltry offer from the NBA?
Wow, this explains a lot. I figured he had to be getting some NBA offers, but I also had no idea he was making that kind of money over there.
In Soviet Russia, basketball plays you.
Unless you're Malcom Delaney.
time??
I approve of this. Thanks for letting us know!
