M.V.P = MOST VALUABLE PERSON- Apr.6, 2010 (by Chester)
Whats up world? i am on my second blog and i named it M.V.P for most valuable person. OK most of Europe already know that i was the M.V.P of the Adriatic league 2009-2010 which is considered one of the 3 best leagues in Europe. And it was a great honor for me to receive this award in a league with so many not good but great players that play in the league. But my most happiest time over here in Europe came a week after receiving the award[read more]
Whats up world? i am on my second blog and i named it M.V.P for most valuable person. OK most of Europe already know that i was the M.V.P of the Adriatic league 2009-2010 which is considered one of the 3 best leagues in Europe. And it was a great honor for me to receive this award in a league with so many not good but great players that play in the league. But my most happiest time over here in Europe came a week after receiving the award. I got an invite to go to visited a home for disabled children in physical and mental development in Siroki Brijeg. Going to see those kids was truly beautiful. The looks on there faces when i walked in was amazing. They were so happy to see me that they forgot about everything else. And this made me the most happiest person in the world at that time. Just to put a smile on theses children faces was the best award that i could win this season. Children are treasures to me something special. I am a person who often want to help people who needs help and i do this through my foundation that i have back in America. My life is not just about basketball, God has blessed me with the talent to be a good player and has blessed me even more to be a great person. I find just as much joy in being a helping hand to some one that needs it then to hit a game winning shot. (real talk) I was born and raised in the inner city of Cleveland Ohio which is an very tough environment. and i always give some of the credit of me being a good basketball player and most of all a great person to my city and my environment. I followed and lived by the G-Code my entire life that's why i am the man that i am today. ok let talk basketball. we are in the second stage of the Bosnia Herzegovina mens national league. this league consist of the top 6 teams in the country. each team play each other twice. and the top four teams go to the playoffs. we are off to an 4-0 start. playing very well as a team. or team defense has been very impressive. so have our team offense. with 6 mores regular season games left we are the clear cut favorite to will the title again this year. my teammates know that we have to stay focus and take each game one at a time to be successful. because in this league surprises and upsets do happen. In the 4 games i am averaging 15points 10rebounds 5assist. playing at the same level in which i was playing in the Adriatic league. I over heard the rumors before the start of this Bosnia league that just because i had a great season in the Adriatic league and that i had teams from all over Europe calling for me for next season that i was going to relax and take it easy in this league. HAHA that was funny... I want to win the championship more then ever this season then i wanted to win it last season. a player legacy here i Europe is not based on his individual statics. Its based on how many championships you won in your career and your winning percentage. HERE IN EUROPE ITS ALL ABOUT WINNING.

This is not my first season playing in europe.I played last season 2008-2009 for siroki eronet for the last 3 months of the season and we won the Bosnian national championship. I started off the 2008-2009 season playing in the NBA developmental league. For the 2007-2008 season i started off participating in the training camp with the Cleveland Cavs of the NBA. and some of the pre season. I finish up playing in Slovenia for Lasko Zlatorog which i help take them to the Slovenia league final 4. i played 4 years of college basketball at Miami university and this prepared me for playing professionally in the states or in Europe. Playing and living overseas i think some of the biggest adjustments that u have is the time difference, the culture on how people live differently then what u are accustomed to. some of the foods, the international rules, the 2 practices per day, and most importantly being so far away from your family and home.
