I’m not sure if I brushed upon this topic before but communication back and forth from overseas is important to keep your sanity and close contact with your family. When I started playing basketball overseas, it was recommended to use a service which allowed phone calls to my phone in Finland for about $0.09 a minute which was pretty good back in 1999 without the introduction of VOIP which is now [...]

I’ve come to the opinion that the Flip video is a great and easy no-flaw way to get your basketball videos online.

Marcus Brown summed it up quite nicely in his interview with FIBA after an extraordinary game with Zalgiris Kaunas. Brown is an American is balancing basketball and winning by having more interaction with the country, team, family and other outside of basketball activities.
