July 25, 2011 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Josh Childress started his NBA career with the Atlanta Hawks, but spent two seasons in Europe playing for Olympiacos in Greece before returning to the NBA last season with the Phoenix Suns.

FIVE BEST PLAYERS IN FIBA WORLDS

September 4, 2010 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Because of the lack of star power currently competing in the FIBA World Championship in Turkey, some members of the basketball media have tabbed this year’s event as the “B-rated” championships.

EUROPE’S BEST CENTER JOINS SPURS

July 15, 2010 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

The Spurs’ signing of Euroleague center Tiago Splitter earlier in the week had very little fanfare. There were no ESPN one-hour specials, no Jim Gray playing emcee and the news was absent from all the 24-hour news networks. It was your typical Spurs offseason transaction. Very low key and very business-like. The move may not look … [Read more…]
