Linas Kleiza helped the Denver Nuggets reach deep into the playoffs this past season and now he is headed for greener pastures. Kleiza signed a 2-year deal worth $12.2 million with Olympiakos.

For American basketball players who cannot quite cut it in the NBA, the option of going overseas to play is very tempting. If the player is good enough, he can get a chance playing for an NBDL team, but unless he truly believes that the NBDL will serve as a platform for him to break […]
Austin Walton, Dynasty‘s Director of Basketball Operations, originally turned me on to the website, ProPlayerVideo.com.

He has clearly matured as a player already and will only get better until he makes him […]
Although the NBA Draft is still a fair way off, there are already players who are being highlighted as potential draftees. Thousands of players go through the rigors of balancing school and sport to try and make it on the biggest stage in Basketball, but at the end of the day there are only 60 […]
When UnderArmour announced that its first basketball endorsement would be for Brandon Jennings, an American born kid who would go on to play his first professional game overseas, the final piece of the puzzle was in place to legitimize the overseas experiment. No longer are we wondering whether players will go from the NBA to […]
I briefly mentioned Brandon Jennings yesterday and then came to find out that the soon-to-be overseas youngster just signed a deal with UnderArmour. Since right around the 2008 NBA Draft, I had heard rumors from many industry insiders about UnderArmour making a push into the basketball shoe market. Derrick Rose’s name was mentioned as the […]
