    Almanya. Taken from Latin Alemannia, named after the Alemanni tribe. That word hit the muslim world through Spain, where Alemania was used to refer to the germans by the local romano-hispanics and romano-gallics living in modern day france and spain.

    And yes, Alemanni is a latin transliteration of old high-germanic "All-Men" as the tribe was actually a confederacy of many tribes.

    Honestly a bit disappointed in Sengun's shooting. Not that he missed his 3s but he was very hesitant to pull the trigger despite being in a very low pressure environment. Our offense would look a lot better next year if he can at least be a threat from outside.

    A falsehood doesn't get more correct by repeating it more often.

    Scola averaged 1.6 assists a game for his career meanwhile Sengun’s best skill is his passing and is already tracking to be one of the best passing bigs ever. What an awful, awful comparison.

    Sengun also already has way more dunks than Scola in his entire career.

    Hedo was listed as 6'10 his entire career. Alpi was clearly taller than him.

    Sengun at 21 had .9 steals, .9 blocks, 3.2 offensive rebounds, 3.6 assists per game on .599 true shooting, each better than every single season of Scola. But they are both white, non-American, and unathletic to some eyes. That’s all what matters.

    I love the ice cream man but he is not worthy of carrying Sengun's jock. You tell me he is a slightly smaller but far more athletic Jokic then we're talking.
