Bball players' funny/embarashing/odd moments

**qiangdade** · 05-28-2007, 11:52 AM

Bball players do have a life outside the 4 lines of the court. The give press conferences, shoot commercials or even make music videos. Some of them are very interesting. Here are some of them:

Does he really say "Javtokas" at 10th second of the clip?

Papaloukas is obviously the best video of these

And Tony Parker... what was he thinking, his clips are really embarassing...

There were some "great" interviews of such kinda here in Lithuania, but sadly only one is in English...

If someone other wishes to translate it be free to do it (I think both of these have been already translated to IBN members, but probably before our blackout...)

Great English knowledge of journalist when Antonio Grant won LKL dunk contest:

Legendary interview of Arvydas Sabonis:

Another great example of journalism, this time with Jasikevicius:

Edit: Oh and another great one from this years LKL dunk contest:

Loooooooooool

. But no. He says "Gi' ayto kathe mera..." which would be pronounced "Javto kathe mera..." and means "That's why every day..."

I also like santa-dirk. From your clips, i couldn't understand the reporters question and probably Grant didn't either so he answered blind and tried to cover every possible question with one answer. Rofl. I wander what the reporter translated afterwards...

Great Sabonis stuff there rik. That's what i'm talking about. Can anyone provide some translation on the second sabas video?

And who's that player that landed like that after the dunk? Radmanovic? Quality is kinda low

**C02** · 05-28-2007, 08:43 PM

Great thread, very entertaining

Please, somebody translate the Saras and Sabas interviews

That is Thierry Henry. I saw him sitting near Longoria before, during SA game and the commentator mentioned that he and Parker are close friends.

Actually that's a parody to both him and Real Madrid president for not fulfilling his promises. Btw in some of the statements by the half of the video someone says Vlade is Real Madrid's striker

Shaquille humorously dissing Vlade:
