I wanted to post a funny song about Russia, but apparently we can't post youtube videos anymore

Tyus really has improved his form and got rid of the hitch.

How much does he make a year over there?

Tyus goes to college at Syracuse, goes pro and has to play in Siberia.

Wow.

Similar climate to Syracuse?

Should have stayed another year.


Did I do that right?

Looks like Battle's jumper/mechanics have smoothed out a lot, he's looking great on those shots - very cool to see that aspect of his game grow & improve.

Thousands.

Of rubles. Thousands and thousands of 'em.

I guy that lived near me a few years back was a pro hockey player. Second round pick of the Sabres. He made it to the NHL but was really a minor league player. He told me that the $$ in Russia was scary good. But they paid in cash and people involved, well, you didn't want to involved with them.

Read up on the planes they used for roadies .. not safe
