    The european championships will take place in Sweden now in september. I live in Sweden myself, so I plan to attend at least some of the later games in the tournament.
    :D It´s not very often I get the chanse to attend quality basketball here so I´m really excited.
    Anyone else here planning to attend? Not very likely maybe. Do you know of any players I should watch for?

    -Of course you should keep an eye out for the Slovenian National team because it has Boki Nachbar, but if you look on the main website for the Euro Basket 2003 Championship there are alot more NBA players/ prospects to watch out for...

    SLOVENIA. On July 2, national team head coach Slobodan Subotic announced 24 players for Eurobasket 2003. The roster includes forward Bostjan Nachbar, Houston Rockets, and center Primoz Brezec, Indiana Pacers.

    Future stars in Eurobasket 2003

    There will be a lot of extraordinary players in Eurobasket 2003 in Sweden. Among them are some of the superstars of tomorrow. Quite a few of the talents drafted by the NBA teams two weeks ago have been picked for the preliminary rosters.

    In addition to the players mentioned below, it is possible that Zoran Planinic, G/F, Croatia, will make Eurobasket 2003. The Croatian roster has not yet been announced.

    First round drafts
    Mickael Pietrus, G/F, France (Golden State Warriors, drafted as no. 11)
    Zarko Cabarkapa, F/C, Serbia & Montenegro (Phoenix Suns, 17)
    Aleksandar Pavlovic, F, Serbia & Montenegro (Utah Jazz, 19)
    Boris Diaw-Riffiod, G/F, France (Atlanta Hawks, 21)

    Second round drafts
    Sofoklis Schortsanitis, F/C, Greece (Los Angeles Clippers, 34)
    Sani Becirovic, G, Slovenia (Denver Nuggets, 46)

    Darko Milicic, F/C, Serbia and Montenegro, who was picked as number two only behind LeBron James, will not play in Sweden.

    The preliminary rosters for the four teams playing in Group C of Eurobasket 2003 have now been presented.
    And they are impressive.

    In Södertälje, Peja Stojakovic will play for Serbia & Montenegro, Pau Gasol for Spain, Andrei Kirilenko for Russia and Joakim Blom for Sweden.

    Even if he is on the preliminary roster, Dejan Bodiroga, Serbia & Montenegro, will probably not play in Sweden.

    Thanks for answering Ghettoestar, nice to see another svensk here. I don´t buy a lot of stuff anymore (read poor).
    I do know that you can find footlocker in the creatively named mall "Gallerian".
    Where are (will you be) staying ron?

    Takk. Jeg svarer på norsk. Det er kanskje like greit! Antar at dere forstår meg... Jeg skal bo på et hotell rett utenfor sthlm. Husker ikke hva det heter. Er det andre butikker utenom Foot Locker eller?

    Jeg har hørt om en visstnok kul park i sentrum der mange spiller basket... vet dere hva jeg mener? Hvor er den? Hva heter den?
