Watched Iran, Croatia, and Greece practice today. Made friends with Iran's Serbian trainer. For those of you Vlade Divac conspirators out there, the rumors are true. According to his one time coach, Srdan Petkovic, Vlade drank a liter of black coffee and a glass of whiskey before each game. And yes, he smoked cigarettes during half time. Petkovic also told me Darko Milicic is certifiably bat shit crazy.

My new favorite player on the planet, Greek center Sofoklis Schortsanitis, now has a giant afro and now looks like a parade float modeled after The Roots drummer ?uestlove.

I got to shoot around after all of the practices finished. Then, I interviewed myself.

I'm at the very peak of my vertical leap in this photo.

...and in this one, too.
