Well, just as I promised to The Greek Freak- I did watch a Bucks game the other night, game 3 of their series with the Bulls. I think it was the first time ever that I watched a full NBA game with the Bucks in it. They played well, but Giannis really disappeared after a very good first half, and without him in top form I didn’t reckon they stand a chance. Continue reading
Another NBA season has passed, and just like my mentor (yeah right, I wish) Bill Simmons keeps his tradition of publishing his annual Trade Value column (check this out – a collection of ALL his previous trade value columns!), I will continue the tradition of publicizing the statistical achievements that went under the radar this year, the shy ones, the ones who keep over-analyzing conversations and social interactions.

Alexander Shatilov is Israel’s greatest ever gymnast, a great performer at the floor exercise, where he won 2 bronze medals at the World Championships and 5 medals at the European Championships (1 gold, 1 silver, 3 bronzes), and from 2015 he is also the proud owner of the “Best Beard in Artistic Gymnastics” award. Which should be given to him for permanent keeping. I mean – come on, no one can top that.
Help! Shatilov has been kidnapped by hipsters!
Ok, so we’ve seen in Part I how we came to have the amazing record of 109 international goals we have now. And while it’s preposterous to think that some present day player might break it, I do want to mention some recent amazing goalscorers and to single out the few that may climb high enough to see Ali Daei’s back.
So, without Freddy Adu, let’s go:
The first amazing goalscorer chronologically is John Stern. Wait, who?! Michael, you made this one up, didn’t you? Continue reading
