I sure do hope he can internalize the comprehensive gaming systems quickly.

The wording of that article is hilarious.

 

[jmizzy4ou]

Good for him. Maybe the move away from his comfort zone that he needs. :clap:clap

 

[seniorsooner]

Amen, mizzy. I hope this gets him away from any negative influences that he may have around him and lets him focus strictly on improving as a basketball player and as a human being.

Germany is a third world country?

First observation: I'm glad he is getting a chance. Perhaps, this will give him an opportunity to make good decisions rather than bad ones.

Second observation: It is easier to read what he says when it is translated from German, rather than from his twitter page.

Of course Germany is a thirld world country. I mean isn't every place outside the USA?

 

[sybarite]

TMG in a European system will be interesting. They are all about discipline on the court as last I saw. The Schwarzwald can get cold. I don't think I've ever seen that area without fog.
