Rasho in Greece

[Texas_Ranger]

Rasho is playing great and I'm really happy for him.

Olympiacos knew that they needed a quality C if they want to have a chance at winning the Euroleague, that's why they brought in Rasho.

Hi KBP!



Bouroussis - The Spurs saviour.

[ata]

KBP should also noticed, that Rasho has one rare big man quality - durability.

[ata]

ata should also notice that Spanoulis is the MVP and best player on the team.

I voted for Sho for the All Stars.

I am so incredibly proud of him!

Sho clearly is where he is meant to be, so for that reason, I am glad Sho went to Greece but I really missed seeing Sho play in person this year.

The season was just not the same for me without him.

gross.

Rasho's shoulder injury is bad enough that he might have to retire.

No.....he just doesn't want to waste his time teaching that uncoordinated lumberjack how to play basketball anymore.

Those greeks love Rasho.

Rasho enjoyed the video.

Now, he will have to wait and see in a few months once he can try to do some serious rehab whether this will be the end of his career or not.

Olympiacos released Rasho, due to his shoulder injury and that he costs too much money for what he can provide the team.

He might be re-signed if he will accept a very large pay cut (I believe something like 60%), otherwise he will be replaced by Lazaros Papadopoulos.

The 10th anniversary of the NBA's Basketball Without Borders program will be without players.

The current lockout prevents active players from participating in the NBA's annual global outreach program, which this summer is conducting camps in Ljubljana, Slovenia; Johannesburg, South Africa; and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

NBA commissioner David Stern said during the NBA Finals that the program would continue regardless of the labor situation and would use retired players, which the program has used in the past.

The camp in Rio de Janeiro runs from July 29-Aug. 1. The camp in Ljubljana from Aug. 8-11 will feature former NBA star Vlade Divac and former NBA player Rasho Nesterovic.

The camp in Johannesburg from Sept. 1-4 will feature former NBA stars Adonal Foyle, Allan Houston, Sam Perkins and Dominique Wilkins. NBA global ambassador Dikembe Mutombo also will be present.

Kudos to Rasho and Vlade who were both part of the very first Basketball without Borders that brought together kids from the various parts of the former Yugoslavia ten years ago.

Olympiacos released Rasho, due to his shoulder injury...

Olympiacos is cutting player budget from 18 million to 10 million Euros.

[ploto]

You are crazy if you think they can cut their budget to 10 million euros. Just the player expenses, the taxes, the trainers and coaches and doctors, and Spanoulis - JUST that would cost that much.

Re-read: the budget for players' salaries is being cut from 18 to 10 million.

You made absolutely no sense in that last post, KBP.
