Jorge Garbajosa is an international player that
is not in the NBA at the moment. He
is one of my favourites. I actually love the whole Spanish basketball team. I
hope Ricky Rubio can play for the Minnesota Timberwolves next season and
I hope Garbajosa alongside Juan Carlos Navarro,
Sergio Rodriguez, Raul Lopez, and Carlos Jimenez will eventually (or again)
follow suit.
Anyway
Garbo played in the NBA for two
seasons with the Toronto Raptors
before returning to Europe. The perks of playing in Europe, it is near his
house and at the same time he is the main man.
I got
this cool video from Isko Villanueva
where Garbajosa, now playing for Unicaja
Malaga, is fighting against his former team, Real Madrid. Real Madrid’s roster at the moment has Spain’s Rodriguez, Sergio Llull, and Felipe
Reyes and Argentine hotshot Pablo
Prigioni. Garbo’s teammates at Unicaja Malaga include Spain’s Jimenez, Berni Rodriguez, and Guillem Rubio, England’s
Joel Freeland, and Greece’s Georgios Printezis.
What’s
cool about this clip is that both squads fought tooth and nail to win the match.
Both squads went berserk outside the arc and in the end both teams can’t really
say that they didn’t give their all for this match.
The
other thing cool about this match? The announcer. The guy talking off-cam is going
nuts with the non-stop action. I think the commentator needs to pace himself
because he might strike a nerve ending or something.
Still,
he could be a futbol announcer so overreacting in every play is basically
mandatory.
Game
over!
