Kings Cup 2008-09

Let's just say it..., the team that was supposed to win... won.

Pete MickaelTaugres, Vitoria was the undisputed favorite and almost slipped up when the Aito led team from Malaga pushed it into OT. A BIG note* is to be made here. Malaga made it a game and did it w/o the Nash-like PG Carlos Cabezas (who, if rumors are confirmed, may be heading to the BIG SHOW, the one and only NBA).

Inspiration

You feel like you can do anything. That’s what this US election

While The Dude suffers through Olympic withdrawal it helps to have U.S. Open Tennis but after Usain Bolt... everything seems slower. There was some serious greatness (Phelps) from Beijing and the Olympic media coverage in Spain was complete. It's missed.

	Team USA, Gold Medal Winners

OK Corral

Yesterday, Team China was eliminated in convincing fashion by Lithuania. Many of the Chinese I have talked to are dissapointed, but know that a loss was inevitable. "We're not very good at basketball. We're good at ping-pong" is a line I have often heard.

They are really back! The USA/NBA team, after so many recent
disappointments (for all) is back! Sometimes you wish and hope for things and
sometimes what you wish for really comes true. Happy endings. The final score
being 116 to 85.

The last days of the Olympics are approaching, and that means we are in the medal-rounds. The pressure intensifies, the games get tighter, and everything basically gets more exciting. It's win or go home. Good thing I get to watch every game and blog about it.

Everyone I talk to, Chinese, American, European, boy, girl, kid, adult, cannot stop talking about the United States basketball team.

For more than thirty years Tim Shea has been involved in basketball, first as a player, then a coach at the highest level in Italy, Spain and Portugal and later the International Director of Scouting for the New York Knicks, Phoenix Suns and most recently the Charlotte Bobcats. Tim is based in Lugo, Spain and gives us his unique insight into the International Basketball scene with his BO-Log (Brooklyn Outlaw log).
