Yao Ming - China Shane Battier - USA Vassilis Spanoulis - Greece Kelenna Azuibuke - Nigeria It should be interesting looking out for our Rockets players in this tournament. Hopefully, each impresses.
Yeah I really want to see Vspan and Kelenna play. You know Yao and Sugar Shane Battier are gonna ball.
Kelenna doesn't interest me much at this point. i don't think we will see a lot of floor time this season. Vspan on the other hand, i'm very interested in catching whatever games he is playing in.
Kelenna Azuibuke is not on the Nigeria roster. He will likely represt England in the Olympics in London along with Ben Gordon, Leol Deng, Joel Freeland, and Eric Boateng. Azuibuke was born in London so he is eligible to play for them. Besides Azukibuke is still in Houston right now, he was the Astros game last week, so how could he play for Niageria?
Battier also had an impressive block last night he even surprized me, his hustle alone makes me appreciate his game as a player. This should be a good season (barring any injuries *no jinx)
Badiane vs Slovenia and a former Rocket Boki!!!! Badman in 16 min. 6 pts, 5 rb, 3 assists, 2 blocks, 3-5 shooting. But 0-4 FT shooting! arrggh! If he could have hit a FT then his pts per min would have been pretty good and against a team Slovenia that is fairly experienced. Nachbar had 17 pts, on 6-9 shooting, 1 rb, 3 assists, 4 to's!!! Battle of the Rockets rejects!!!
