No big news lately, as this heatwave that's scorching Greece right now has pretty much killed my will to do anything.
So here's a small tribute to one of my favorite basketball players of all time, who retired a couple of weeks ago, Dejan Bodiroga.
One of the greatest players to come from that region of Europe formerly known as Yugoslavia, Bodiroga was one of those players that could easily fill any position on court, from playmaker to making shots in the paint. He also had amazing "Basketball IQ" as they call it these days, being able to almost always make the correct judgement at any given circumstance, not to mention being an excellent clutch shooter. He definitely bailed my team Panathinaikos a lot of times when he was playing for us.
At 34, Bodiroga's retirement may have been a bit premature, but I guess it's better to retire while you're still at your prime rather than just playing for a few minutes every now and then and having your averages drop too much.
Here's a vid of highlights, not the best around, but I couldn't find any better ones at the moo.
