Hermann, his hair and his giant hands leave the NBA for Spain

And most likely 50-75% of all the population of Latin American countries. Even more, There are very little 2nd or 3rd generation Americans without having some imported blood in them too.

 

Actually my Grandfather from my mother's side was Argentinian and his/our last name is Gordon.

You just pronounce it differently in Spanish.

 

Again with the large man thing. I bet it'd be OK with you if he skilled your wing, know what I mean? Wink, wink.

 

Damn you do know how to hold a grudge

 

How dare you imply that argentina harbored war criminals ....thats slander...lol

 

Man are we bad in geography here in the states or what. Argentina = South America. Argentina bordered by = Chile, Bolivia,Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. Language spoken in Argentina is Spanish. For years people born in Argentina used to be called ARGENTINIANS but as of late that has changed to ARGENTINE because of the Media not getting it right and the ARGENTINIAN government not caring to correct it. I have even heard Matt Bullard referred to Scola and Ginobili as European players ( Wrong Matt, Wrong ).
Now, Ricky Rubio, and Rudy Fernadez are European players born in Spain and speak Spanish as well; along with the Rocket's 3rd round draft pick Sergio Lull.

Look for yourself :

Venezuela=Venezuelan
Peru=Peruvian
Colombia=Colombian
Brazil=Brazilian
Ecuador=Ecuadorian
Uruguay=Uruguayan
Paraguay=Paraguayan
Chile=Chilean
Bolivia=Bolivian
Argentina=Argentinian



the AN at the end of all these names is the right way. Wikipedia and even the Oxford English Dictionary got this wrong.

 

The draft is 3 rounds now?

 

I'll miss Fabio...

 

Yeah that was one of the saddest stories I ever read.

 

You're right; I meant 3rd pick in the second round.. My Bad.

 

All good.

Wow. I have to give props to Herrmann for displaying such resiliency. Experiencing death, especially so much in such a short period of time, is just psychologically jarring.

 

Hermann was actually good enough for the NBA, he just happened to have bad luck.

In the Wizards he was clearly a better player than Adam Morrison, but still had to wait untill he injuried to get PT, he thrived when he got it and was clearly the first option on the Bobcats during the end of his first season, he was 2 games close of making the PO without 2 key players injuried.

Then the coach changed, and the new coach didn´t trust him and traded him away, MJ even complained about the move. Then in Detroit it was different, he got traded to a team where rotations where set and played behind 2 great players at his spots SF-PF (Prince and Sheed), plus they had a youngster in the SF backup spot that they wanted to develop, still they resigned Hermann after his first season but then again Detroit played like **** and the descicion of rebuilding went towards playing the youngsters again a lot.

I think Hermann would have thrived in teams where the SF is only asked to catch and shoot and cut through the open lanes, teams like San Antonio, Los Angeles, or Portland would have been great for him.

 

we do?

the truth is of course he is of European ethnicity, but no one calls Chris Kaman a European, and he even plays for the German national team. in fact, how many US-born players of Native American ethnicity has there been?
