What An Experience This Year Has Been !!!

Thursday, May 28th, 2009
TOUGH LOSE AGAINST ANGELICO BIELLA!!! 79-83
EB Jabber 17pts And Andre Hutson 21pts & 7assists, they put it down!
I cannot express how exciting and special this season and year has been for me. The people of Rome and the people of the Lottomatica Roma organization - the entire staff, my coaches and my teammates - welcomed me, along with my mother and brother, with open arms.  Coming here has allowed me to mature both on and off the court and I greatly appreciate the help and support of everyone around me.  This experience provided me with the right foundation for the next chapter in my life. I am especially grateful for the guidance of my general manager, Dejan Bodiroga, my team president, Claudio Toti and of course, my head coach, Nando Gentile. I´ve decided to leave Rome, return to the States  and enter the NBA Draft. This is a very important decision for me and I am giving myself a chance to make my childhood dream come true.  This past year has opened my eyes up to so many different cultures, people, foods and tough situations that have helped shaped me and appreciate how lucky I am. I would not trade this experience for the world.  What I´ve learned here is priceless and I now consider Rome my second home.

Ciao,

Our Last Regular Season Game

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

Just finished our last regular season game. I played pretty well and we won 77-64. Remembering the first game I played out here, I didn’t know if I would be able to last…but here I am getting ready for my first professional league playoffs. It should be a lot of fun, the crowds get hyped over here.

I’ve been watching the NBA playoffs and it’s been the best playoffs I’ve seen in a long time. I think Denver have surprised a lot of people. The Cavs are just out there having fun. And I still think my Lakers are going to Win It All.

I feel if we play the way some of these NBA teams are playing…with a lot of ENERGY and intensity every night…there’s no stopping us.

Until next time,

BJ
