Are You Ready For Some FIBA? August 22, 2007
Posted by TheHype in International Ball , trackback |
You better be! Nothing says EXCITEMENT! like a grand o’l match between Uruguay and Panama. The full schedule is here on NBA dot com (sidebar: hey NBA.com folks, wtf is with the “content by country’s IP” shit? It’s nice of you to think we like to see the Canadian flag up in the header from time to time, but at least give us the option to check out what you’re showing in the US, please?)
Time for another installment of Hype’s Fun Facts About An International Team That He Has Never Seen Before:
Martin Osimani - 6′4 Forward
As you see in the foto to your left, #11 is Martin. And yes, the guy on the right that looks like he’s 56 years old is Manu Ginobililili.
Skills: Growing a breard
Favourite Movie: Notting Hill
Mauricio Aguiar - 6′6 Forward
This lanky dude once ate three bananas, AT THE SAME TIME. Frickin’ gangsta.
Skills: Levitating for 2.3 seconds
Favourite song: “More Than Words” by Extreme
Favourite type of knife: machete
Hmm, what else, since I’m trying to fill up the rest of this vertical gap along the picture I guess I should’ve put more thought into this. Oh dear, this is getting awkward. Hey! I’m done! Weee
Leandro Garcia Morales - 6′2 Guard
I hope that’s him right there. Randomly Googling this guy can be a hit or miss you know? And what’s up with the guy in the background with bunny ears?? Unfortunate perspective yo.
Skills: not being able to smile
Favourite Heroes character: none, he doesn’t watch Heroes
Favourite way to beat a monkey at chess: distract them with peanut butter
So there you have it folks, your Uruguayian team. I hope you learned a valuable lesson today. Oh, and I dunno, maybe I’ll throw up an ALL-DAY RUNNING DIARY starting at 3:30pm if/when NBA.com has those FIBA games on their webcast. Let’s hope!
RIP Eddie Griffin, hardcore way to go.
