I can't read Brazilian. Does he mention anything about wanting to wear a headband?
He said he's going bald and wearing a headband after reading SpursTalk.
Among the team mates he is now affectionately called Papa-All. Guilt of irreproachable years he made in his farewell to the Spanish basketball, winning the national le and being named the MVP of the regular season and finals. The pats on the back and praise, however, do not do Tiago Splitter feet off the ground. During his first practice with the group, on Tuesday, the wing-pivot of the San Antonio Spurs made it clear that the timing is favorable, but knows he will have to work even harder to keep on top.
And for now, will have to devote even more than the other commanded the coach Ruben Magnano to recover the time lost due to delay in its presentation. The transfer from Spain to the United States, problems with the release of insurance and marriage Splitter did miss the first week of preparation for the finals in Turkey.
- I think this delay will not mess up because everyone here know each other long ago. Perhaps what can happen is I will not be with them the same fitness, but I will do everything to recover it. I present myself the same, as in all other years, but of course with fellow congratulating. But we are in the selection and we have to remember that. Here are all the same - said the player, who only regrets having made four decisions and was unable to lift the Euroleague trophy.
Splitter's speech follows the line of thought Magnano, in the words that guide the work are equality and fight.
- I'm happy with everything that happened last month. It is an important phase in my life. I'm taking a leap to the NBA, and the selection is in great time, with an exceptional cast, a technical victory. We have everything to make success in the World. I hope to come more moments like that. I'm riding high personal things worked, but I know it is difficult to continue being successful. I will keep working for it.
Nene seems to have no doubts that. For eight years working in the American professional league, he believes that Splitter will adapt quickly to the next phase of his career.
- He is a tremendous rise. Papou almost all in Europe. Now going to a team that even a little envy. You do not have words to speak to the players and the coach of San Antonio (Gregg Popovich). It will take little time to mingle and get used - he said.
If it's in Brazilian, I don't think anyone can read it.
I wasn't going to say anything.. but seriously..
I have a hard time understanding British.
I know right? It's crazy. To use an outdated Romance language to write about sports doesn't make any sense. What's the point of learning Mexcian if no one is going to speak it?
Can we get a moratorium on being purposely stupid?
. I'm just ready for the season to start. Or for Tony Parker to be traded.
Tupi was the language format that allowed the Portuguese priests to speak to the original inhabitants of coastal Brazil.
Yes, and after the priests made that long trip, it was rumored that when they got off the boat, they asked the question "Tupi or not tupi?". And they all voted "Tupi".
Mexicanish?
Texmexish?
Brazilish?
Portugalish?
I forgot Magnano is the Brazilian coach... wow, this should be an awesome experience for Splitter, first Ruben then Pop. I tell you, if Magnano can put some good practice time with the team, Brazil is going to be dangerous at the Worlds...
Close. Actually there were many dialects for the inhabitants, but the dialects were similar. The priests using Latin as a base format basically created a language that allowed everyone to understand one another.
If she's got a Brazilian, I know EXACTLY what she's saying!!
Oh yeah............high five me someone, come on!!
No high five but how about a chest bump!
I've found that Brazilians are among the easiest things to read. Very easy to read between the lines.
But what the . . .
How about Garnettish...
"I was f___ing takin' care of my f---ing biz, but now I'm f---ing ready to f---ing ball, motherf---er!!!
I had the opportunity to interview Splitter again this week. As always, a player of few words (he never feels much comfortable with the press).
All Brazilian players are really impressed with the trainings of Ruben Magnano. They think they are even tougher than those of Moncho Monsalve (already known to be a hard coach).

Good stuff. Thanks for posting, planaria.
Awesome. Thanks for the photos
