    "Vassilis Spanoulis, one of defending champion Panathinaikos's major offseason signings, will miss the team's upcoming series of exhibition games, including two in the United States against the Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs, after suffering an injury in training Monday. The 25-year old guard, who returned to the Greens this season after playing for the Rockets last year, hurt his left calf, which will sideline him for the next two weeks. As a result, he will not be available for the upcoming Limassol Tournament in Cyprus, during which Panathinaikos will face AE Lemessos, AEK Athens and Hapoel Jerusalem, nor the trip to face the aforementioned NBA sides."

    So VSpan has a calf injury?

    That certainly fits right into the "barnyard league" thing.

    Bahahaha! He probably knows that his Greek T-Macness won't be enough to keep up with the Rocket's real T-Macness.

    I don't know much about Eurolige but can anybody tell me how Panathinaikos' roster will look like (even without VSpan). I know they won the Eurolige last year, but can they beat us? Are they really good? I just don't know.

    1.93 = 6'4"; 1.98 = 6'6"; 2.03 = 6'8". 2.08 = 6'10" . You can do the rest.

    3ft 3 makes 1 meter. so 2 meter is actually 6"6. not 195cm.

    Didn't we all already assume that V-Span wouldn't play us? And, given his business about not wanting to spend another hour in the US, I wouldn't be surprised if he agreed with his new team he wouldn't come to the US before he even signed.

    Well, Span has already clowned the Rockets so many times in practice that he really has nothing to prove.

    Calf injury?

    Thank god it wasn't a beard injury. That could keep him out half a season.
