I randomly picked a Euroleague game on ESPN3 just now and saw Shaun staring back at me, with an awesome Polamalu-style haircut.

It's on right now, he plays for Montepaschi Siena. This should be fun.

Oh, how I miss Stoney and his rebounding. Still my favorite Bobcat ever.

The Serbians, they love their basketball.

The quality of play in this game is outstanding. This is almost as good as the NBA -- far better than the ABA crap I see in person here in Jacksonville.

That arena pic is impressive. Is that the cream of the crop in Euro-ball? I see some Euro games that look like they're playing in the YMCA auxilary gym.

Euro League top 16 games are usually played in big arenas. That's the big one in Belgrade, 23,000. And they're all standing.

For Serbian league games, that team plays in a mid-major-style 9,000 seat arena.

Shaun's team is one of the better teams in Europe, making the Final Four three times last decade.  He's also the captain of the team, which is pretty cool.

A few months back I went and looked up Ohio players in Europe.  I thought Flomo, who is on a mid-level Euro Cup team in Germany, was on the best squad.  I didn't think anyone in their 30's would be at a higher level.  Shaun's made a really nice career for himself.

No chance there are 23,000 people in there... I'd say 21,476 MAX....
