Nice that they are having success in still pursuing their dreams and getting to see the world while doing it.
Dude that is awesome, Shane Henry is working with the Globetrotters?
Don't globetrotters need to be exceptional ball handlers and shooters?
Both are significantly easier when nobody is guarding you or pressuring you.
Meanwhile, 9 Kentucky players will go in the top 28 picks next year... most not to be heard from after 2 years in the league. It's unreal.
Well, the money you can make if you make it two years in the league, even on a rookie deal probably offsets the money that most of our guys will make in basketball period.
LeDay and Allen are killing it overseas, those numbers are solid

Zach LeDay's got a sweet deal. He'll be making almost half a million per year playing for one of Europe's best teams under coach David Blatt. Big step for him
What's the difference between the G-League and the D-League?
The D-League re-branded last year to the G-League
Linky
Nothing. It was renamed to the G-League. Gatorade sponsoring.
Carlos Dixon after a nice overseas career has been hired as Director of Basketball Operations at Appalachian State.
Greg Donlon - Dominating the Vail Basketball League in RVA for "This Isn't Curling?"
Player height's in the metric system are sad.

Do you like 2.20 yards better?
God, all these names. We may not have always been the best but god damn these guys were fun to cheer for over the years.
It always put a crimp in muh craw that no NBA team kept Green. It feels like (to me) he didn't get a fair shake (jmop).
Hamilton? Really?
