How about Tabuse Yuta signing with Phoenix this year?
The first Japanese player in the NBA, being called the "Jordan of Japan" ;) I think he's about 5'9".

Only 5'9"? Heck, he's around the size of Elton Brand. Heck, if that's the case, I could have played pro-basketball in Japan! :hehe:


Sweet Georgia Brown,
PCM

haha..the japanese guy is shorter then me :)
I think I'm around 5' 10''

and my fav team has been Orlando Magic..but only because I got a penny hardaway shirt when I was younge (and even shaq played there at that time!)..nowadays they only got T-Mac who has to score like 80 point if they want to win a game :P

Looked it up, it was Brevin Knight. 5'10"... yeah, right. 5'10" wearing basketball shoes, maybe.

I wouldn't say they were racist, but pointing out that Shaq is a brother isn't necessary and is pretty pointless.

we come from totally different cultures, i dont think NZ is as racist to blacks as the usa is. not saying that you are racist. just, different views i guess anyway lol this is way off the topic

any of you know how much a ticket to a normal nba game is?

Yeah, we're pretty messed up here, race relations-wise...

Depends on the city and the team, really. And where you're seated. Courtside seats are probably hundreds of dollars, if not more, whereas seats in the rafters/nosebleed section are maybe $10-$20... Then you get reamed at the concession stand... :sweat:

fair enough fair enough

Planning on visiting and checking out some games??

maybe maybe, i havnt been to the states before. well i have been to LA airport before lol but for like 30 mins.

i know i will have to visit usa sometime, even thought its not my fav country (pollitically and some people there are pretty messed up :sweat: ) lol, but i guess you have to visit it sometime.

I remember Brevin, those were the good ole days. Then came his successor Art Lee and the final four run. And since then, haven't been much more in Stanford :sweat:

If you wanna visit the States, go to Hawaii and hang out with Aho. :hehe:
