He spoke to Eurobasket about the current season with the Deutsche Bank Skyliners in the BEKO BBL.

Aubrey, this is your first season in Germany in the BBL. How does the German league compare with other leagues that you have seen?

The BBL is one of the most competitive leagues I have seen where all teams can compete. In many of the other leagues only the top 3 teams were competitive. The team that is playing best at the end of the season will have the best chances to win.

Was one of the reasons why you came to the Deutsche Bank Skyliners because Murat Didin was the coach?

I knew him before I came here. But I actually saw the Frankfurt job as an attractive opportunity for me. But I have to say knowing that Murat Didin was the coach made my decision a lot easier for me.

You knew Murat Didin from Turkey. Is there some thing about him that is interesting that not the normal person knows about him?

Murat Didin really knows basketball and does not only pay attention to his own team, but also pays attention to teams in other countries. He likes to soak up basketball from other good teams. He likes watching the Spanish league with teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid and he likes to take things so he can play a similar style with his team.

What kind of relationship do you have with captain Pascal Roller? How difficult is it for you to take away playing time from a legend and guy that is your age?

Me and captain have a good relationship. We are still trying to find each other. Sometimes we play together at the same time on the court and we are still trying to figure each other out. I dont see myself at taking anything away from him, but I am a part of the team and we both work together to help the team win.

A few months ago, nobody really saw The Deutsche Bank Skyliners as a playoff team, but now there seems to be a hope that this goal can be made. What does the team still need to improve to be with the top teams?

We have to get our chemistry together. The team the last two years played together, but many left and new guys came in that have never played in the BBL. We just have to keep working and if we can learn to play well on a consistent level, then we could be one of the top teams.

You are a great ballhandler, scorer and penetrator into the zone. How difficult is it practicing each day against Defense pest Quantez Robertson?

For me it is good to practice each day against Tez. Practicing against him gets me into game mode and he makes me work hard in practice and it is just a lot easier for me to get into the flow of a game.

What do you remember from your season in the USBL in 2001?

My nicest memory was playing that year and getting player of the year.

You have been playing in Europe since 2001. Why didnt you ever play in the States after that?

I didnt really get that opportunity in the States that I wanted. I just came to Europe got in the flow and stayed. I couldnt play in the NBA and I didnt want to deal with the minor leagues in the States.

You played four years in Turkey. What kind of experience was that for you?

The people there were pretty cool. It was a little different than other places. Maybe it had something to do with the culture and Muslim religion, but I met many people there and I understood the people.

You always scored in Europe and never dished out less than four assists. Why didnt you reach the NBA?

I never really got a lot of interest from the NBA. I wasnt to big and was more a scoring point guard. Maybe if I had changed my style earlier to more of a traditional point guard, then I could of gotten some other looks. But at this stage in my career, I dont have to score, but am looking at other ways to help my team.

How do you like my nickname for you Dont shot the ball to heaven)? I say this because your shot goes straight up and seems like it will never come down.

Thats funny. I have no problem with it.

How is the bet player that you played against that might be in the NBA?

Mike Bibby

What was the last DVD that you saw?

The last DVD was Last house on the left. It is a scary movie.

Thanks Aubrey for the chat. Good luck this season!

Thanks Miles

Q&A with Parrish Brown - by Moritz Korff
Parrish Brown (185-G, college: Maryland) is a guard from Chicago, Illinois. In 2007 he graduated from the University of Maryland and turned pro. He spent his first season overseas in Germany, playing for BG Suedpark Bochum in the Regionalliga West during 2007-08. While there he appeared in 10 games and scored 26.8 points per contest and was named to the 2007-08 Eurobasket.com All-Regionalliga West First Team. From December 2008 until October 2009 he suited up for Potros ITSON of Mexico. Brown averaged 14.0 points, 3.4 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 10 games of the 2009-2010 campaign, before he parted ways with the team recently.

You played in Mexico recently. How is the level of competition there compared to Germany?
The competition is the same in that the games are really physical. The refs allow a lot of grabbing, pushing, holding and it's very competitive, no one wants to lose.

You left your team in Mexico in October. What happened?
The coach that brought me on the team ended up being fired, so the new coach that was hired brought in his own players.

When you were in Germany during the 2007-2008 season you dominated the Regionalliga West and scored 26.8 points per game for Bochum. What do you remember the most from your time in Germany?
I liked playing in Germany. I mainly miss the fans. The fans in Germany are very loyal to their teams and show lots of support.

You attended the University of Maryland and played with several great players there. Who was the best teammate that you had?
I had a lot of good teammates at the University of Maryland. I can't really say which one was the best because I shared a different relationship with each teammate. But I still speak with Chris McCray, Dj Strawberry, Ekene Ebekwe, James Gist and Bambale Osby.

How is it like to play for such a famous school like Maryland in huge arenas and then come to Germany and play in front of a couple of hundred fans in a small gym?
I think it's very different but you have a love for the game that it doesn't matter how many people are at the game as long as you can lace up your shoes and go out there and compete.

What is your best memory from your college days?
I have a lot of great memories from college but my best memory is my senior year when we beat North Carolina at home and everybody stormed the court. That was a great feeling to have after beating a great team in North Carolina and all the fans on the court jumping up and down and yelling.

What are you plans after parting ways with the Mexican team?
Well right now I just plan to keep working out lifting weights and working on my game until I can find somewhere else to play.

Upon arrival at the airport 'Macedonia' after a flight departing from Washington with a stopover in Vienna, the American guard made his first statements as a player ofAris Thessaloniki:
'It was a difficult decision to come for the first time in Europe, after 7 years in the NBA. At the start of the season I participated in Atlanta Hawks preseason camp, I was free and what I thought was the best choice for my family. After much thought, I accepted the proposal of Aris Thessaloniki. I think I made an excellent choice, 'said 31years old ace and added:' I promise that I will try hard to be good teammate for the team and hopefully that will help bring victories for the club, drawing on my experience in the NBA .
The new addition of Aris Thessaloniki, who signed a year contract, talked about his friendship with Aaron Miles, which existed at the beginning of this year's season in preparation (pre-season) of the Atlanta Hawks and in 2002 had played as opponents in the Final Four of college championships NCAA. 'I talked to Aaron and told me many things about the team and the city. We have known for many years and look forward to find ourselves as teammates on the field. I think I come in a great environment. I know that supporters of Aris Thessaloniki is very enthusiastic and supportive group. I also know that the club has a long history. I hope I play well enough, to become myself part of the history of Aris Thessaloniki, '.

Harvey van Stein, "I'm working hard to get back as soon as possible" - by Fred Roggen
I had a change to talk with forward Harvey Van Stein (197-F-78, college: Cent.Conn.St.) of Landstede Zwolle, who had to postpone his comeback in the Dutch league with Landstede Zwolle until 2010. The former National Teamplayer tore a knee tendon during practice in August, and has been operated. It's clear that his team is missing the forward, but Harvey Van Stein is confident about his return, his knee is responding well to treatment and if rehabilitation goes to plan, Van Stein could be back on court around January 2010.

Growing up, besides basketball were there any other sports you enjoyed playing?
Tennis was the other sport I really enjoyed playing. I started playing basketball when I was 9 years old, but before that I played tennis. I was talented and I loved playing it, but I was better playing doubles than singles. I basically found out early I had to play in a team.

And glancing back at college for a second. Do you have any favorite moments, games, anything in particular that you like to look back on?
Winning our Conference Championship and going to the NCAA Tournament were really big moments for me. All the hard work that we put in, the running, the practices, the individuals, the weightlifting, even the bricks really paid off. Overall college was a great experience for me. Even though I realized it later on in my career college really prepared me for the next step professionally and personally.

You had a steady Pro Basketball career having played in countries like Finland, Spain, United Kingdom and Switzerland. How is it to be playing in Holland again?
It feels great to be back in Holland. Landstede Zwolle offered me and my family a great opportunity. We decided to take that. That makes it tough to deal with not being able to play right now. Im really eager! Playing in all those countries was a great, though. My wife and I had some great experiences and we made some great friendships.

How are things going? How's the knee?
It never goes as fast as I want it to go. Probably, not until, Im back on the court playing. But rehab is going good. Im ahead of schedule. This means Im a couple of steps ahead of the protocol. Im walking normally and bending the knee goes easier each day. Right now I can bend my knee between 110 and 120 degrees. Overall I feel stronger and more confident each day.

What bothers you right now? Are you in any kind of pain?
No I dont feel pain. It is sensitive sometimes after a long day of workouts and walking.

What do the treatments consist of right now?
I finished CPM workouts. This machine bends your knee to a certain degree of motion. To get even more range of motion I started riding the bike. And to get more strength in my quadriceps Im doing muscle flexes and straight leg raises.

It must be important to have a positive attitude at the moment about what's coming next?
Working hard to get to that next step is all Im focusing on with this injury. My ultimate goal, of course, is getting back on the court competing, but in order to get to that I have to take it step by step. Like I said before its never fast enough.

Is this the longest period of inactivity that you can remember?
Most definitely!!! And it is frustrating. But its the reality right now. Im working hard to get back as soon as possible.

When will you be able to play the remaining games of the regular season?
Its hard to make an estimation right now. But considering protocol and talking to my physiotherapist the goal is to play the remaining games of the regular season from the end of January or beginning of February.

Do you have any future plans as far as playing basketball?
Yes, winning a championship with Landstede Zwolle!

Harvey, thanks for the interview and hope to see you back on the court in January.

Sparta 99 - Soleuvre 73

Bertrange, Luxembourg
Sparta won at home against Soleuvre inflicting more pain on the most struggling club in the DBBL. With the loss, Soleuvre drops to 0-6 and is tied for the last slot in the league with Racing who has the same record. Sparta's attack was very balanced as they were paced by 4 starters with double figures. Larrie Smith (197-F-75, college: Tennessee Tech) led the way with 25 points followed by Patrick Arbaut (183-G-87) with 22. Phil Grant (202-G/F-79, agency: R.H.Consultancy, college: Iona) had a 15 point 18 rebound double-double and Julien Hublart added 10 points and 6 assists. For Soleuvre, veteran forward Luc Loesch had scoring honors with 19 points. Cory Smith (195-F/G-87, college: Rhodes) and Christian Schreiner had 17 and 12 points respectively. The match got away from AS Soleuvre early as the home squad crunched them in the first two quarters scoring 27 and 30 to take a comfortable 21 point halftime lead. Soleuvre out-played BBC Sparta in the 3rd period, but Sparta skated to an easy 26 point victory. With the win, Sparta's hopes for top 6 remain solid as they are now in 5th place with a 4-2 record in the DBBL. Sparta plays next at home again vs. BBC Nitia. Another likely win will put Sparta in 3rd place by next Saturday evening as Contern (5-1) and Amicale (5-1) will face off in Steinsel. Soleuvre will unfortunately play in Etzella next Sunday afternoon. Etzella (5-1) has won 5 in a row and are looking more and more like a favorite for one of the top spots in the DBBL race. They will not have any problem to put more salt on the wounds of a visiting Soleuvre. Vincent Gevrey has taken over as interim coach of Soleuvre to try and salvage and revitalize the club and its first team after a horrible start. Gevrey has been for several years at the French club Longwy as assistant coach.

Athleta thrash Luxol - by Eurobasket News
Siggiewi Kent Boringer 77
Depiro Mtarfa 72
(16-20, 15-18, 16-13, 15-11 - 15-10)

Without injured duo Marco Matijevic and Peter Shoults, Siggiewi found themselves struggling to beat the challenge of Depiro.

Peter Farrugia's Siggiewi were the first team to settle down but Depiro, through their captain Roderick Vella, soon seized the initiative to lead 20-16 after the first quarter.

Siggiewi had Adrian Micallef (190-F-79) 's baskets to thank for keeping them within striking distance as Depiro continued where they had left off after the interval to extend their lead to 48-35.

But Siggiewi shot in front in the last couple minutes. It seemed all over now for Depiro but Micallef lost possession and Marko Arsoviski forced extra-time - 62-62.

However, Depiro wilted under the pressure and two consecutive three-pointers and a ten-point run opened the way towards victory for Farrugia's team.

BUPA Luxol 59
Athleta Compleet IS 92
(10-21, 13-23, 7-21, 29-27)

A below par Luxol were no match for a rampant Athleta team. John Tabone's men lacked cohesion, falling easy prey to hungry opponents.

Luxol took more than five minutes to pot their first points and to make things even worse for them they were already foul-hit by the end of the third session.

Meanwhile, Michael Naudi and Addison Bonnici (195-F-84) had led Athleta to the driving seat and by half-time they led 44-23.

Luxol were stunned and unable to stage a reaction as Athleta's lead continued to increase to 78-37 with five minutes to go. Strangely, at that stage Luxol woke up to make the score look more respectable.

In the semi-finals, scheduled for next February, Athleta clash against BUPA again and Siggiewi take on Depiro.

Depiro beat Loyola to keep hopes alive - by Eurobasket News
Thanks to their victory over Loyola St James Hospital, Depiro Mtarfa have kept alive their hopes of booking a place in the MBA Shield semi-finals. Next weekend's final two matches will decide the fate of three teams, namely BUPA Luxol, Depiro and Loyola. Athleta Compleet IS made sure of top spot after having the better of Siggiewi Kent Boringer.

Depiro Mtarfa 64
St James Hospital Loyola 56
(13-14, 17-16, 12-9, 22-17)

In a balanced and entertaining match, Depiro drew on their experience to dismiss the bold challenge of St James Hospital Loyola.

With both teams fielding their best formation, it was Loyola who enjoyed the better start but gradually, Depiro improved to close the gap to a single point by the end of the first quarter, 14-13.

Depiro remained the better side as the second session got underway, opening up a 24-18 lead. Loyola battled back to wipe out the deficit with Depiro needing a basket by Malcolm Mallia to even the score at 30-30 at half-time.

After the interval, Loyola scored the opening seven points but Depiro came through a difficult moment to start the last 10 minutes 42-39 ahead.

Hard as they tried, Loyola were let down by their inexperience as Depiro took advantage to seal victory in the final minutes.

Athleta Compleet IS 69
Siggiewi Kent Boringer 58
(16-13, 18-12, 20-15, 15-18)

With Siggiewi hampered by the absence of Marco Matijevic, injured, Athleta duly took advantage to dominate underneath the boards with Michael Naudi (193-G/F-80) leading their charge.

Siggiewi were dealt another setback when, towards the end of the opening session, playmaker Peter Shoults left the court after suffering an injury.

Siggiewi had made the better start, moving 9-1 ahead after four minutes. Athleta coach Joe Galea called a time-out.

This helped Athleta to reorganise and they gradually assumed control to lead 16-13 by the end of the first session.

As Siggiewi struggled to raise their game, Athleta continued to dictate matters to open a 30-17 lead. Substitutions bolstered Siggiewi who shared the exchanges until half-time.

Despite their frantic efforts, Siggiewi never gave the impression that they could get back in contention as Athleta easily administered their lead.

Buducnost destroys Cedevita in Adriatic league - by Eurobasket News
Buducnost - Cedevita 95-65

Great performance by Buducnost in the latest round of Adriatic league (6). The reigning Montenegrin champion had no mercy for the Croatian representative registering a valuable win. Boris Savovic

(206-F-87) was almost unmistakable for the hosts collecting 22 points and 7 rebounds. Marko Simonovic (202-F-86, agency: Beo Basket) had 17 and Nemanja Gordic (194-G-88) added 13 pts. Cedomir Vitkovac

(201-F-82, agency: Beo Basket) helped with 10 points and 6 boards. On the other side, big guy Andrija Zizic (207-C-80, agency: FCM) responded with 18 points and 5 rebounds. Jermaine Anderson (188-G-83, college: Fordham) stopped on one less and his team fell to 2-3.
Except of the last quarter, when everything was already resolved, Buducnost was way better team in this game. In the opening ten minutes the hosts exploded offensively creating 28-16 lead. Nothing has changed after that, as Cedevita was stopped on even less points until the half time. So after 20 minutes of play, Buducnost was already up huge 52-30. Almost the same picture on the court was seen after the breather as Buducnost still dominated. They jumped to plus 35 before the last period and of course question about the winner was already known.

The Gold Rush won its 14th consecutive season opener and handed Carver (0-2) its 33rd consecutive loss dating to February 2008.
Harvey was 10-of-11 from the floor after halftime and made his final seven shots to help Xavier outscore the Cougars 49-14 in the final 12 minutes.
Dannie Woods (6'7''-F-87) added a career-high-tying 20 points, and Devin Andrew (6'4''-G) scored 16 for Xavier. The Rush used 11 players, all of whom scored. Five of Xavier's six freshmen played and combined for 21 points and 16 of the Rush's 24 assists.
Woods, playing for the first time since a season-ending knee injury on Dec. 6, 2008, was 7-of-7 from the floor and made 6-of-7 free throws.
Cory Evans led Carver with 27 points, 21 in the second half, and Nicholas Hood scored 15. Evans made all five of his 3-pointers after the break.
Xavier outshot Carver 54 to 39 percent from the floor and outrebounded the Cougars 48-25. Landon Bussie grabbed a game-high seven rebounds for the Rush.
The Rush never trailed and got nine points from Andrew in the final six minutes of the first half to turn a tie at 19 into a 36-22 Xavier lead at the break.

Wall to miss Kentucky's first game - by Rick Ross
Courtesy Of SI-SPORTS
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP)
Kentucky point guard John Wall (6'4''-G) has been cleared to play by the NCAA.
The school announced Friday that the 6-foot-4 freshman must sit out two
games and repay almost $800 in expenses incurred during unofficial visits
to schools during his junior year at Word of God Christian Academy.

Wall's status had been up in the air as the NCAA investigated the relationship
between Wall and Brian Clifton, his former AAU coach.
Clifton was a certified agent for a period during Wall's recruitment,
and the NCAA looked into whether Wall accepted any
illegal benefits from Clifton during that time.

Wall will miss an exhibition game against Campbellsville on
Monday and the season-opener against Morehead State on Nov. 13.

New pirate aboard - by Kaare Vangen
Sometimes clubs are just lucky. John Noonan (196-G) played for a Romanian club who could not afford to have him any longer. Pirates coach Dan Mobbs heard the news, persuaded Noonan to come to Kristiansand, and - pronto - Pirates had a player who scored 34 points yesterday. Noonan will play for Pirates until the Christmas break when his three month visa will expire. He hopes to leave for a bigger league then.

In yesterday's match against Varden Pirates were in the driver's seat from the first minute and won 115-74. Div 1 is a two team race at the moment with BK Miners from Kongsberg and Kristiansand Pirates fighting hard for the top spot. Miners are 7-0 and Pirates 6-1.

The Quebec City Kebs sign Milton Bell - by Richard

'Milton Bell is a born leader, he will bring a heightened spirit to the team helping our young players to advance their professional skills' says Jean-Sebastien Roy, Vice President Marketing for the Kebs, now in Chicago. 'We were really attracted to him because of his experience, its clear that with his talent and experience he will also play an important role as a mentor to many of our young Qubcois players that we are striving to develop. Our goal to help develop professional players in the Quebec province and throughout Canada remains our top priority and we need strong players like Milton to achieve this.' When asked to comment, Head Coach Kebs Alejandro Hasbani said 'I know Milton from when I worked in Argentina. He works hard and is very effective around the basket.'

Milton Bell has played for Georgetown in the NCAA, going on to continue his career playing over 20 years in the South America for the Chilean, Venezuelan, Mexican and Argentinean leagues. 'I've heard great things about Qubec City and the Quebec Kebs. I am honoured to have been chosen and intend to help the team and guide players with less experience. Alejandro told me about their developmental strategy for players originating from Qubec and I think it's wonderful. I look forward to contributing.'

Vitoria Guimaraes clinch Antonio Pratas Trophy - by Eurobasket News
Guimaraes - Benfica 76:69
Vitoria Guimaraes made up for the dream start of the season. They held off Benfica to claim the Antonio Pratas Trophy title. Benfica entered the game without Santos however it could hardly explain a sloppy performance from the LPB defending champions.
Guimaraes surged in front right from the start. They grabbed a 22:18 lead after ten minutes. The second term turned into a real disaster for Benfica. They managed just 7 points in the period to face a massive 20-point deficit at halftime. But Elvis Evora

(205-C-78, agency: Global Sports Plaza) and Ben Reed (191-G/F-83, college: W.Michigan) triggered Benfica into action in the third stanza. They fired 24 points in the quarter narrowing the deficit at 7 points with one quarter to go. Guimaraes quickly restored an 11-point buffer in the fourth quarter but Benfica persisted. They narrowed the gap to 5 points late in regulation before Vitoria cleared off for good in the dying seconds.
Rod Nealy (198-F-80, agency: Gross Zeev ISA, college: Houston Baptist) delivered 18 points and 9 boards to pace Vitoria. Fernando Neves (194-F-80) added 15 points, while Tommie Eddie delivered 14 points and 10 boards in the victory. Elvis Evora answered with 14 points for Benfica. Ben Reed had 13 points in the loss.

Guimaraes: Rod Nealy 18, Fernando Neves 15, Tommie Eddie (201-F/C-82, college: Mississippi) 14+10 boards

Goran Suton signed with Spartak SP - by Stanislav Tyutyunnik
Croatian-american center Goran Suton

(209-C-85, college: Michigan St.) signed a 3 years contract with Spartak Spb. He played for the Bosnian U14 side before his family moved to the US where he attended Everett High School in Lansing, Michigan, United States. There he led the Everett Vikings to a Class A boys basketball title in 2004 as a senior. After that Goran followed Magic Johnson's career path to Michigan State. Suton developed into a key player for the Spartans during his career, earning second team All-Big Ten marks during his senior season. Suton helped the Spartans to two NCAA Final Fours - one during his redshirt freshman year in 2005 and as a senior in 2009. He was selected 50th overall by the Utah Jazz in the 2009 NBA Draft. Jazz coach Jerry Sloan cut Suton during the preseason on October 21. During his last season at Michigan playing in starting five he averaged: 10.1ppg, 8.2rpg, 1.5apg, 1.1spg, FGP: 52.1%, 3Pts: 43.8%, FT: 84.8%.

Interview with Paul Miller - by Stanislav Tyutyunnik
American center Paul Miller

(208-C/F-82, college: Wichita St.) became a late addition to BC Triumph roster. He was very kind to answer some of the questions to Stanislav Tyutyunnik from Eurobasket.com in this interview.

When and why did you start playing ball, who was your first coach?

I started when I was probably 10 or 11 and my first coach was just a dad of one of other players from the group of kids that got together to go to the basketball tournament.

Wichita State - not a famous university especially in terms of basketball. Why did you choose it and what did you learn there?

I chose Wichita State because I like the coach that was there - his name is Mike Turgeon. He recruited me to come to Wichita and he said, that I'll get up a good career there and an opportunity to play better.

Why did you choose basketball?

I played baseball too, I was a pitcher, but basketball is what I was more passionate about and enjoyed it a little bit more, than baseball. When you're a pitcher, baseball sometimes is some kind of boring. And so when the time came to decide between baseball and basketball, cause I had no more time to play them both, I chose basketball.

What about the best and worst memorable moments of your career?

My best moment was to go to the NCAA Sweet 16 when I was a senior at Wichita State University. My worst moment was when I broke my foot - it was a hard psychologically stroke, but my teammates, coach and family supported me.

What do you think of your new team Triumph and teammates now?

I like everybody on team so far. I'm getting to know the system and learning what the coach likes and how he wants team to play. I'm pleased with the way he coaches and I think all the players are working very hard to play basketball very well.

What's the main reason of moving to Russia?

I've always heard that the Russian Superleague is a very good league and I wanted to come and play in this league.

Some white bigmen stereotypes like 'they can't jump and dominate under the rim, but they shoot well, especially from the long range' with Troy Murphy, Brad Miller as examples - is that about you? What type of basketballer are you?

I try to be smart basketball player, a good team player. I'm not good one on one and if it's just up on me it's very difficult to win the game, but with other four guys on the floor and playing like a team - that's when I'm doing my best. I like to think that it's not the one or two guys out there the team has to rely on. Some players obviously are more important, but maybe just used to score more, to handle the ball more - this depends on the type of team. About my shooting abilities - I shoot 3-point shots well with good percentage, but I don't shoot a lot of threes. In the game because I'm capable of shooting threes my defender has to make sure that he is close to me.

Are there any players that you try to model your game after?

You already named some of them - Troy Murphy, Brad Miller. One of the players I like to watch on is David Lee - he's also a friend of mine.

What comes more natural to you the power forward or center?

I like to play in the system with interchangeable positions, where two big guys can play both spots. It doesn't matter for me which one - 4 or 5 spot.

How would you describe your role on the current team compared to one in Anwil?

In Anwil last season I had to play more minutes. In the beginning of the season I played about 20 minutes per game and then my time increased to 30+ minutes. I was the only center in Anwil, I couldn't foul out, I had to play all the time. In Triumph it's a bit different, there are some players on my position, so if I get tired I'll have substitutions for me.

Which aspect of your game needs immediate improvement?

I haven't practiced with any team for some time, so now the game runs through very fast for me. I'm getting to know the players, it's all about timing. This summer I played some games in June and July, but I didn't have real team practice. Now my mind doesn't work too fast, I slow down and think too much about what I'm suppose to do, what this guy suppose to do on the court.

Your personal aim for this season?

I'm a team guy, I like to see the team do well. I want to be consistent, playing 25-30 minutes per game and doing the same well every game.

What is the plan for your career?

I just want to continue to grow. Russia is one of the two top leagues in Europe, I'll try to improve here. No matter where I'll go next, but I want to make sure that I'll enjoy my experience in that country, have a good time. One year I played in Poland with SPEC Polonia Warszawa and my team was very bad, I didn't like that year.

SonicBoom Taking Center Stage - by Rick Ross
The supposed powerhouses still aren't living up their pre-season billings,
while the alleged underdogs continue to thrive through the first month of the
Korean Basketball League (KBL) season.
The KT SonicBoom, which acquired new head coach
Jun Chang-jin prior to the season, have been a remarkable team on the court.
Jun has been reunited with guard Shin Ki-sung. The pair was part of the
TG Sambo team - predecessor of the Dongbu Promy which won the 2004-2005 KBL championship.
The duo seems to have found that magic again and the team has climbed to the top of the standings.

The club won all three of its games this past week, beating the likes of traditional powerhouse
Samsung Thunders and the LG Sakers, who have been a big surprise themselves this year.
KT capped the week with a win against the KT&G Kites on Sunday to extend their win streak to five games.

I am very tired physically, but because my boys did well, I feel really good,Jun said.
At 6-2, the SonicBoom share the top of the KBL standings with the Sakers.
Despite a decisive 94-74 loss to the SonicBoom, the Sakers did manage wins against the
ET Land Elephants and the Daegu Orions.
The Sakers' ethnic Korean player Moon Tae-young has played well beyond the
expectations of most and has overshadowed the much-hyped Jun Tae-poong of the
KCC Egis and Lee Seung-joon of the Thunders, who were thought to be the class of the ethnic Korean draft.
During the last eight games, Moon averaged 21.4 points good for third in the league
eight rebounds and 2.9 assists.

The SK Knights are ranked third with a 5-2 record but were the victim of a tough call this week which
cost them their sixth win against their Seoul rival, the Thunders, Tuesday.
With 12.7 seconds left, the Knights took possession trailing the Thunders 80-79.
With Moon Kyung-eun set to inbound the ball, Knights guard Joo Hee-jung was fouled by Lee Jung-suk.
According to the KBL rule book, when a foul is committed in the last two minutes, it is considered an
away foul, not a personal foul, meaning that the team gets one free throw and then possession.
But the referees ruled it a personal foul and granted them two free throws instead.
Knights boss Kim Jin appealed the call to no avail.

Joo made one foul shot but missed the other and the Thunders escaped with an 82-80 win.
The KBL later admitted that the wrong call was made and the referees were suspended and fined.
The league denied the Knights request that the game be replayed.
After the unlucky loss to the Thunders, the Knights followed it up with a narrow 79-77
loss to the Orions but did manage to rebound with an 80-79 win over the Ulsan Mobis.
The defending champion Egis were looking to move back to .500 with three games last week but were denied by a
89-83 road defeat to the Thunders, Saturday, after two wins earlier in the week.

Lee Kyu-sup led the Thunders with 34 points including five 3-pointers.
As a result, the Thunders are in fifth place at 4-3 and the Egis are seventh at 3-4.
The Elephants (1-7), a top six team last year, are mired in a deep slump,
having lost their last six games and find themselves in last place.

Things Go From Bad To Worse For Unicaja - by Paul Nilsen
Things got from bad to worse for Unicaja after it was revealed that the ACB strugglers who slumped to a fifth successive defeat in the Andalucian derby loss in Seville will be without Georgios Printezis (206-F-85, agency: FCM) for some time. In another truly dreadful display, Malaga failed to get the win again despite taking confidence from their Euroleague wins against Partizan and Olympiakos and the salt was rubbed into the wounds by the fact they completely blew the last possession and of course the loss of Printezis who has suffered a fracture to his right shoulder after a freak incident. Running the floor he went up for an open dunk on the fast break but got it badly wrong as he firstly travelled and then got too far under the basket as he went up and dunked it at high pace., However as he grabbed the rim he almost clothes-lined himself as he flipped over and landed in a heap on the floor in a sickening manner. At first it seemed like he may have damaged his head, neck or back and everyone feared the worst as he was put in a neck brace as he left the floor to applause from the fans. As well as this, Unicaja also picked up some other less serious injuries to several key players as they continue to wonder where it has all went wrong. Perhaps the guard spots would be a good starting point in that analysis?

Martinez Pips Moss For Player of Round Award - by Paul Nilsen
Pamesa Valencia shooter Rafael Martinez (191-G-82) won the Player Of The Week accolade for Round 5 of ACB action in a pretty uninspiring week for individual performances. With Gerald Fitch proving he is human after an ordinary performance for Fuenlabrada, it was left to Martinez to win the battle with the award. He saw off Chris Moss

(204-F-80, agency: Passing Lane, college: W.Virginia) who also finished on a valuation of 24 points but Moss ended up on the losing team which is why Martinez prevailed. He finished with 23 points including three triples but it was his all round efficiency in the game that was decisive as Pamesa inflicted a first domestic defeat on Caja Laboral.

SYRIA

Rami Issa talks to Hend Abufarie - by Sammy Nanneh
This week saw the Ittihad's very own Rami Issa (202-F-82) sit down with one of the Middle East's most successful basketball player agents, the Jordanian American, Hend Abufarie. Who is co-owner of the company Team Unity. You can take a further look at their website http://teamunityaau.com/default.html

Rami: So Hend, What do you think of the man people who work as agents for players without having to get formal authorization from the International Federation of Basketball?

Hend: Personally, I am with the principle that to be an agent you must be a former basketball player or a former traine. This is important so that the agent can feel a real sense of the player and recognize any possible problems and so the agent can market the player as appropriate.

Rami: Madame Houdrtk India holds a proxy for regular players of the International Federation, Is it possible to tell us about how to obtain this certificate?

Hend: It is a collection of books and laws about how to deal between clubs and players, and how to protect the rights of each party. Tests are performed each year in Switzerland, and each holds a certificate and a large amount of insurance to the International Federation, this is in order to ensure seriousness of the work by Allagent.

Rami: Your agency is one of the largest companies operating in the Middle East, what is the secret behind this proliferation?

Hend: In addition to our work with a large number of players under the corresponding Fellow American company, we represent a large number of stars in all the Arab world from Tunisia and Jordan to Morocco. This proliferation is mainly due to the fact that both players and clubs trust us as a company that respects its dealings and obligations. For example, Wayne Oliver, who could not receive payment from his club, which forced us as a responsible company to pay an amount of four thousand dollars to him to solve the financial crisis while the club granted him freedom to travel because he had received an offer from a club in Jordan.

Rami: What is the basis of selecting a player?

Hend: We have two sets of criteria for selecting our players, the first is a technical/able player and the second is the morality of the player. We reject the representation of any player who does not have a high moral character, because any ill morals will represent the company abroad as well as the player. Therefore, we often consult the coach and the university about the conduct of the player and his commitment before we ask for his level and ability in basketball. Thank God the problems of our players are few and almost non-existent.

Rami: Do you have the intention to become a player agent and help Syrians get scouted abroad?

Hend: Frankly, yes, the idea has caught my attention, a lot of Syrian players have taken my interest, three of them at the Ittihad, two in the evacuation and one player in each of the Yarmouk and dignity, and God willing, in the coming days I will speak with those involved.

Rami: What are your projects in the future of Team Unity?

Hend: God willing, I will try and coach Rizkallah Zlaom for a summer league in Jordan once we get the required approval of Jordan. This will include a training camp and friendly games between players of both American and Arabic decent.

Rami: As someone with dual nationality of Jordan and USA, how do you feel about Jordan qualifying for the World Championships 2010 in Turkey along side teams like USA and Spain?

Hend: I feel a great sense of pride, but this great dream is not only for the Jordanians, but the whole Arab world.

Rami: But some experts believe that the great success was the result of foreign players who only qualified as Jordanians, and not naturalized players, the children of Jordan?

Hend: If you are referring to Rasim Wright, they are wrong, because basketball is a team game and every team has 12 players, so Rasim Wright does not constitute as the sole reason for Jordans success.

Rami: As a final question, what do you think Syrian basketball lacks, and why hasn't it reached the successes of neigbours Jordan and Lebanon?

Hend: In my opinion the national team lacks a long term (at least two years) trainer, so he can express his ideas to the players and reap the desired result, I think it is a good idea to have one of the Syrian league coaches lead the national team because he will be fully aware of the players around the league and will have a higher chance of unlocking their potenial.

Kyle Speller, whose father is originally from the community of Gonzales in Trinidad & Tobago, is in his fifth season as the Public Address Announcer for Denver Nuggets. His voice can be heard at every Denver Nuggets home game during the NBA season.

Kyle father, Ken Grey, migrated to Brooklyn in 1969 and currently lives in Flushings, Queens.

Sandy appointed NAIA Assistant Coach - by Albert-Lee Young
Since leaving Trinidad in 2005 to pursue his education and coaching career, Learie Sandy has made tremendous strides.

Sandy, who was the head coach of Trinidad & Tobago Senior Women Netball Team in 2004, graduated from Martin Methodist College in December 2008 with a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education Degree.

Afterwards he joined MMC as a Student Assistant Women Basketball Coach under then Head Coach Dee Bell for the 2007-08 season. MMC is an NAIA Division 1 program and plays in the Trans South Conference which produced three of the last four national champions.

The following season (08-09) Sandy was promoted to Assistant Women Basketball Coach and his duties included recruiting, working with post players, tape exchange, and scouting report. During this period MMC posted a record of 19-12 which saw them enjoy a brief national ranking of 23 before ending up #33 and missed going to the national championship by one game.

In September 2009 coach Bell took up an assistant coaching assignment with Tennessee Tech University in the Ohio Valley Conference (NCAA Div.1) and under the newly appointed Head Coach Edmund Pipes, Sandy was assigned additional responsibilities being involved in all aspects of the program.

Besides his college coaching duties, he is also involved with the Tennessee White Nike Flight travel team which won the Tennessee U16 State Championship and their Silver team, which was ranked #1 team in the nation, produced 6 of the top 50 national players.

Bobcats' Bell to play after postponing surgery - by David Edole
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) Charlotte Bobcats shooting guard Raja Bell (196-F/G-76, agency: Interperformances, college: Florida Intern.) planned to start against New Jersey Monday as he tries to play with a partially torn ligament in his left wrist.
Bell went through shootaround and coach Larry Brown said he would make his season debut against the Nets even though he hasn't gone through a full contact practice. Bell last week decided to put off surgery that would sideline him up to four months and see if he could get through the season.

'It'll be an adventure, but I feel pretty confident about it,' Bell said. 'The passing, the dribbling, the rebounding and stuff is OK. I'll try to protect it a little bit as best as I can until I get some practices. But when you feel like you can get out there and help, in any capacity, it's kind of time to go.'

Bell's return will be a boost for the Bobcats (1-2), who are the NBA's lowest-scoring team and have had depth problems at shooting guard with backup Ronald 'Flip' Murray also out with a stress reaction in his left shin. Brown said Murray could make his debut Friday against Atlanta.

The 33-year-old Bell, in the final year of his contract, averaged 13 points and four rebounds and shot 42 percent from 3-point range in 45 games with Charlotte last season after being acquired from Phoenix in December.

The Bobcats saw their playoff hopes derailed late last season when Bell was sidelined with a calf injury. Now Bell is trying to tough it out this season.
'If it starts to hurt,' Bell said, 'then I'll deal with that when it happens.'

Raiders Upset Eagles - by Andy Webb
In a busy night of BBL action the headlines go to Airwaves Plymouth Raiders who shocked league leaders Newcastle Eagles to secure their first win of the season with a thrilling 96-95 home victory.

After Florentino Valencia had made two free throws to force overtime, the match was undecided until an Anthony Martin (186-G-80) bucket with 50 seconds remaining in the extra period gave Raiders the lead for good.

Guildford Heat moved themselves into the leading pack after a hard-fought 78-71 win over Worthing Thunder.

Thunder recovered from a 15-point fourth quarter deficit to trail by just one (64-63) in the last three minutes but Heat's Julius Joseph and Kenny Langhorne both drained threes to move their team away once again.

Worcester Wolves held off a late charge to eventually beat Jelson Homes DMU Leicester Riders 113-111 on their home floor.

The Wolves had led by 14 (106-92) with just 3.54 remaining but a furious finish by Riders, which included three Tack Minor three-pointers, saw them close to one before a Chey Christie free throw sealed the win. Minor had the final chance to tie or win but his last gasp shot was blocked.

Glasgow Rocks made the most of a slow starting London Capital side to win 83-65 and move into seventh place in the BBL.

With the match tipping off over half an hour late due to the visitors travel problems the Rocks were red-hot from the start as they scored the first 16 points of the night.

Rob Yanders drilled three three-pointers and there were contributions from Mike Copeland, Jessie Sapp, Steve Parillon, Sterling Davis and Gareth Murray as Rocks led 23-3 after the first quarter and were never troubled.

Airwaves Plymouth Raiders 96 (27,40,67,84)
Newcastle Eagles 95 (28,45,67,84)
(after overtime)

Airwaves Plymouth Raiders shocked league leaders Newcastle Eagles to secure their first win of the season with a thrilling 96-95 home victory.

After Florentino Valencia had made two free throws to force overtime, the match was undecided until an Anthony Martin (pictured) bucket with 50 seconds remaining in the extra period gave Raiders the lead for good.

Earlier Darius Defoe carried the Eagles offence in an even first quarter at the Pavilions. Scoring the first eight points for his team, Defoe helped Newcastle to a 10-18 lead before the home side went on a 17-6 run to go in front. Veteran Charles Smith hit the final basket of the quarter to give Eagles a 27-28 advantage.

Smith continued to trouble the Raiders defence in the second quarter. His six points formed the bulk of a 10- 4 run to give Eagles a 31-38 lead.

Terry Horton and Florentino Valencia combined for nine points to bring Plymouth level at 40-40 before Smith and a Reggie Jackson three put Newcastle 40- 45 up at half time.

Newcastle again let throughout the third quarter with their lead peaking at eight several times. A 14-4 run by Raiders, inspired by Allister Gall and Martin, briefly gave them the lead at 65-63 before the teams headed into the final stanza locked at 67-67.

Neither side could break free in the fourth quarter with Eagles holding the biggest lead at four (75-79). Charles Smith almost won it in regulation with a three to make it 82-84 but he fouled Valencia with 10 seconds remaining and the Raiders player calmly slotted both free throws to send the match into overtime.

BBL Championship
Guildford Heat 78 (21,33,57) (Langhorne 24, Joseph 17, Drakeford 14)
Worthing Thunder 71 (9,32,43) (Cricelli 22, Makalainen 18, Zafirov 16)

Guildford Heat moved themselves into the leading pack after a hard-fought 78-71 win over Worthing Thunder.

Thunder recovered from a 15-point fourth quarter deficit to trail by just one (64-63) in the last three minutes but Heat's Julius Joseph and Kenny Langhorne both drained threes to move their team away once again.

Guildford began the match in excellent fashion with threes from LA Drakeford and Langhorne helping them to a 17-2 start. Thunder responded with an 8-4 run to end the first quarter trailing 21-9.

Heat's lead quickly disappeared during a terrific opening to the second quarter by Worthing. Ville Makalainen hit six points in an 11-0 burst, which trimmed the gap to 21-20. The score was level at 25- 25 before threes from Drakeford and Joseph once again put Heat on top.

However, a 7-2 run by Thunder to close the half had Guildford leading by just one (33-32) at the interval.

The third quarter was all about Guildford's dominance. Player-coach Chad McKnight kick-started a 14-2 run to take the score to 47-34.

Samuel Cricelli notched Thunder's next nine points but he couldn't prevent his side entering the final stanza trailing 57-43 after Heat went on a 7-0 tear in the last 90 seconds of the period.

Chad McKnight (pictured) said he was happy with the way his team responded to defeat on Saturday night: 'Both teams lost badly last night and we looking to bounce back.

'The Thunder played a really tough game but we got there in the end. It was an ugly game but a win is a win. I was very pleased with our late game execution; we kept our composure, hit our free throws and didn't give up any threes.'

BBL Championship
Worcester Wolves 113 (30,49,78) (Disy 30, Zabas 27, Harker 14)
Jelson Home DMU Leicester Riders 111 (34,51,71) Minor 31, Wierzbicki 24, Durant 16)

Worcester Wolves held off a late charge to eventually beat Jelson Homes DMU Leicester Riders 113-111 on their home floor.

The Wolves had led by 14 (106-92) with just 3.54 remaining but a furious finish by Riders, which included three Tack Minor three-pointers, saw them close to one before a Chey Christie free throw sealed the win. Minor had the final chance to tie or win but his last gasp shot was blocked.

A high scoring first quarter saw 64 points that Riders eventually edged 30-34. LaTaryl Williams was the chief tormentor for the visitors with 12 points as Leicester never trailed during the entire period.

Defence came to the fore in the second quarter with Worcester taking the first lead on a Chey Christie basket at 35-34. Riders responded with a 9-0 burst and despite Wolves tying it at 47-47 it was Leicester who led 49-51 at half time.

The match was evenly poised at 69-68 late in the third quarter until a 9-3 end to the period by Wolves handed them a healthy seven-point cushion (78-71) with ten minutes remaining.

It seemed as though Wolves were destined for a comfortable win behind good play from Harry Disy (pictured) and Evaldas Zabas, but Minor, with help from Bradd Wierzbicki gave Riders hope.

It wasn't to be though as first Terrell Saunders and then Christie kept their nerve from the line.

BBL Championship
Glasgow Rocks 83 (21,41,62) (Yanders 30, Copeland 13, Murray 13)
PAWS London Capital 65 (3,21,40) (Jivens 19, Gariba 18, Knysas 8)

Glasgow Rocks made the most of a slow starting London Capital side to win 83-65 and move into seventh place in the BBL.

With the match tipping off over half an hour late due to the visitors travel problems the Rocks were red-hot from the start as they scored the first 16 points of the night.

Rob Yanders (pictured) drilled three three-pointers and there were contributions from Mike Copeland, Jessie Sapp, Steve Parillon, Sterling Davis and Gareth Murray as Rocks led 23-3 after the first quarter.

It was a lead that Rocks would maintain for most of the match. By half time London had recovered their offensive skills to trail 41-21 and they prevented the match from being a total blow out by going basket-for- basket during the third period (62-40).

Capital continued to battle and trimmed the lead to 14 (69-55) on player-coach Milek Jivens' three with 4.37 remaining, but they could never get within single digits and were left to rue their poor opening ten minutes.

Hibs start title defence with a win - by Eurobasket News
Hibs Medsea started their women's league title defence in style with a comfortable victory over newcomers St Andrew's as the first matches from the women's league were played last weekend.

Luxol and McDonalds Depiro, the other major contenders for Hibs' crown, also chalked up victories on their first league outings over Athleta and Starlites Sports Experience respectively.

Against the Saints, Hibs made sure in the opening quarter which they won 20-4.

The champions barely gave their modest opponents the chance to manoeuvre so much so that until half-time St Andrew's failed to pot another point as the score stood 43-4 for Hibs.

With victory all but secured, Hibs lifted their foot off the pedal after lemon time, allowing St Andrew's to see more of the ball even though they were unable to avoid an embarrassing defeat - 77-21.

After their fine showings in the MBA Shield, Luxol stayed on the right track with a 59-33 victory over neighbours Athleta.

Again, Steffi Demartino was Luxol's best scorer on the day as they started to pull away to lead 33-14 at half-time after a balanced start.

With Athleta unable to apply any sort of pressure on Luxol, the latter had little difficulty in administering their advantage to wrap up victory.

Depiro were too good for Starlites as they forged ahead in the opening minutes to dictate matters all the way.

Already 33-19 ahead at the half-way stage, Depiro, led by Sarah Pace, went on to obtain a 54-33 victory.

Loyola and Hibs complete semi-final line-up - by Eurobasket News
Loyola Allcare Insurance and Hibs Medsea joined Depiro and Luxol in the semi-finals of the MBA Shield after victories over Starlites and Athleta respectively.

In the semi-finals, scheduled for January 28, Depiro will face Hibs and Luxol will meet Loyola.

The third quarter proved fatal for Starlites in their clash with Loyola. The game was balanced with no side capable of pulling clear.

Loyola led Starlites by a basket at lemon time, 23-21. It was after the fifth minute of the third quarter that Loyola made the most of Starlites' decline as they went on a 16-1 break on their way to a 49-37 victory.

Hibs came from behind to dominate the second and third quarters against Athleta. It was Athleta who had the early edge, finishing the first session 14-10 in front.

Hibs were a transformed side as the second quarter got underway.

They gained the upperhand to change ends 35-16 ahead. Until the final whistle, Hibs were never troubled by Athleta as they ran out 68-38 winners.
