don't get me wrong guys, I'm not trying to bag him out, just kind of suprised, I had no idea this was happening because I was only in 'basketball circles' for a short time.
With the crying incident Sit, that's probably another occassion on which he cried. The story I heard was that he was upset about not getting enough shots, and cried after one of the games or something like that. There would have never been a question about him being on the team we were on, but that was under 18's second team. Perhaps he wanted to make the first team, and didn't and then had a sook about that. The first team was much better, no as soft. I think David Barlow was on the Sydney Kings roster last season, and he was on that first team.
Some of these rep-ball kids are spoilt whingers. I found a lot of them to be that way, except for a couple of guys. I was trying out for the team, and I'd played for my first team that year at 17. I improved a lot over a short period of time, but you can't learn confidence and make up for years of mental preparation in a short time. So as I was trying out a couple of guys were really great and supportive, while the rest ignored me. Felt like they were snobby rich kids. Too fucking bad so many of them were soft, including Bogut. He was talented, and only 15 in under 18's but I didn't think he was that good, and certainly things can really change in 4 years. He was definately fortunate enough that his parents did so much for him, I got the feeling even back then that he had things his way. Who else would cry over petty shit at 15 years old. He was also fortunate enough to grow to 6'10, and of course he had talent. Good luck to him as I said before.
I sucked though, and I wasn't confident (and stuck up) like some of those tools
Had my parents been able to taxi me around when I was 11 years old though, you never know, there may be less suckage in my game today!
similar thing with me but with 1 of the australian mens volleyball teams i knew zane (#14 guy) from high school he was a tennis nut and the high school was tryin to convince him to play bball coz he was only 14 and 6'2-4 he did play a bit of ball but stilled played alot of tennis and apparently zane only started playing volleyball in 2000 and now hes on the olympic taem bastard
LOL that guy's smart. B-ball and Tennis are very competitive, but Volleyball? We don't even have a pro league here - I know because my cousin in europe plays and wanted me to look into it so he could come and play here... lol, no go because nobody cares!
bastard
