    Don't worry '87-- some of us got it the first time
    I have seen only two great plays: Hamlet and put the ball into the basket

    Sorry, if I had said "only in Madrid", would that have been more clear? My bad, then. When it's obvious (if only in my mind) I didn't see the need for a sarcasm font.

    (But have you been to Batavia? Pretty sweet!)

    My Grandpa lived in Batavia eons ago (actually East Batavia Heights). I'm a grandpa now with one of my grandkids a college grad himself. Batavia isn't now what it used to be.

    In what sense is the court wider? I'm assuming that the Spanish league uses a FIBA court...and the FIBA court is a foot shorter and narrower than the NBA/NCAA court.

    I haven't really been there since I was a kid (and I'm not even sure why), but I'm sure it's not Madrid.

    I wonder what Justin makes over there? Hope it's a boatload. Loved watching him run that baseline looking for an open shot from the corner.

    Good question Smileyy ... it was mostly an impression that the court looked wider due to the more one-on-one. I'll have to look up official dimensions.

    And to my friend XU-87 ("hey, I'm at Wrigley already sitting at the bar, why aren't you here immediately?"), I happen to visit Batavia most everyday for work ... Batavia IL, that is. Two more days in Zaragoza and then back to Madrid for the flight home.

    Unfortunately for Justin and his Barcelona teammmates, they fell 3 straight to Real Madrid. Justin clearly shined, but not enough to bring home a title.

    I'm pretty sure in Europe the three point line is closer than it is in the NBA, so it might at least give off the appearance of a wider court. I guess one of us could look this all up to get a definitive answer, but I'm #teamlazy.

    I remember thinking the same thing when we got the unrated big white kid from Georgetown- Brian Grant.
