definately!!, before germany relied too much on dirk to do the bigman dirtywork but now with kaman there is less pressure on dirk..

ecxactly mate!

damn i can't believe i had never talked to you before (at least i can't remember)

you seem to be a pretty cool guy


anyways kaman is very good player. femerling is just crap (most of the time) and okulaja is injured. but with him as their center, they have a pretty decent team. i'm also glad that roller was on fire today!



btw demis you seem to be a greek or at least a fan of their team...could you please tell me the name of their huge black center? thanks in advance

btw the german commentator always callls him "little shaq"

^^^
thanks for the kind words ardi...well as for greece's black centre his name is Sofoklis Schortsanitis..he's from a greek father and a mother from cameroon, and he is owned by the L.A. Clippers but plays for Olympiacos...hes 6,9 (C) and he is a powerhouse!!!..unfortunately he is so dang fat..like really really fat...he had the year to trim down and was unsuccessful, so its unlikely he will showcase at the olympics (maybe for a few minutes)..

..if he gets back to fitness...hes a monster...hes the man who shut down yao ming and dwight howards amogsnt other top bigmen at the WC in 06
