I have been posting on here for quite some time now, and I know that many of you are not from the US. So, I figured I would find out once and for all where you all are from and/or reside.
I’ll Start! I’m from Southern California, but I live and (follow basketball) from South of the border. I currently bounce back and forth between Guatemala and Oaxaca, Mexico.

        I worked on the gene Fullmer pool in West Jordan last week. I’ve been a jazz fan since 1990, Santa brought me a pack of basketball cards and since then I’ve been hooked on basketball, not so much the cards but more the sport. I gave up on basketball cards years ago

I’m from the city that rhymes with fun: Regina, Saskatchewan. Not really a basketball hotbed. But Trey Lyles lived in Saskatoon for a bit. But you never heard of him until he made it big. We make hockey players, not ballers haha.
I’ve been on here since like 2007/2008 at least.

As you may have guessed, I am from Belgrade, Serbia (FR Yugoslavia). I began playing organized basketball with ŠKK Zvezdara, a club in Belgrade. Not too brag, but I’ve earned an All-EuroLeague First Team and a EuroBasket All-Tournament Team selection in 2017. I may or may not have been named the 2017 All-Europe Player of the Year by some Eastern European magazine. Let’s just say I can flat out Bogdan.

  I don’t believe that since you’ve posted some of the worst rubbish I’ve ever seen even for this site. I guess the fact your from a former communist territory is in your favor. Care to say who you are? Are are you a lying coward braggart?

    You can scrooge mcduck my Bogdan. You haven’t even said where you’re from let alone indicated if the territory has any communist affiliation.
    And rubbish? My friend, I have coined many household terms such as “Bogdan in the rough” “flat out Bogdan” and “straight up Bogdan.” Also you have more negs than I and have probably played less years on the Sacramento Queens (sic Shaq) than I

I live in central New Jersey really close to St. Joes in Metutchen. I graduated the same year as Karl Towns did in high school and play ball at their outdoor courts and one time even ran into Karl Towns himself shooting around with his former teammates. Surreal experience.

Cynthia
Participant
I was born in Bulgaria.
Spent most of my kid/teen years in Oklahoma US, this was the longest I spent at any location. Hence why I’m an OKC fan.
After Oklahoma I lived in many different places, most barely even a year, I will list in order:
Mexico, Italy, Minnesota US, California US, Texas US, back to California US which is where I currently am but may be moving to New Mexico US within a year or two.
I’ve been on this site since at least 2008 if not earlier, I just didn’t create an account until later because I was a lurker.
It’s very interesting to see everyone from so many different countries, I honestly assumed about 3/4 of this site was from the US but it seems not.

I‘m very surprised to see so many guys from all over the world posting on here. Great and very open minded community we have here guys!
