Christmas Break

Back in McAllen after we had couple of days off over the holidays.

We had a team XMAS celebration courtesy of our owner, who presented each of us with a little present. We will try to give back with WINS...

Surely we also had  some community work during the days, as the Vipers Team visited the local childrens hospital. We took pictures, played table games, autographes, the whole package. I love doing this as you can see the joy one can bring to all those children who are not so blessed right now. Children are always so amazed, not only for us beeing local celebrities, but specially me beeing so tall. Had some nice presents for them, that made their eyes shine!!!

 

I received some email questions regarding our style of play. Let me pleases show you this article:

The reliance on the 3-pointer

Published by Zach Lowe (@ZachLowe_NBA) who is a staff writer for the Grantland Network established by Bill Simmons, who now works for ESPN.

It in a way explains what we are doing and why. GM Morey of the Rockets is one of the most innovative and creative minds in the business and he wants us to try this style of play, because if it works in our league, it may also be an alternative for style of play in the big league.

I can tell you it is physicly demanding to the max, as one is always running and running and running....

The christmas days I spend with my familiy in San Antonio at my parents in law's house. We had some exquisite dishes to choose from. Big shoutout to my parents and brother in Wuppertal, I missed you all big time.

Time flies by and soon enough we are back to McAllen and practice, practice practice.....

In between had the chance to watch Bamberg and Munich play some crucial Euroleague matches. The Bamberg game was so close, it was sad to see them loose. Shoutout to Elias Harris, who will make Freak City proud and will turn some heads in Germany.

Congrats to Bayern Munich for advancing to the next round with a convincing win over Galatasaray. Convincing performance by my former Bonn teammate Bryce Taylor. What a great job Coach Pesic is doing in Munich.
