I like how JV always end up in the middle when a shoving match breaks out. Protecting his teammates.

Jonas V looks and acts like a leader...its written on his face. Maybe he will be future captain of the Raps?

This team looks like a taller version of an adult pick-up team.

It's iron wolf - the symbol of Vilnius. There is this legend that grand duke Gediminas liked to hunt in the Forests of what is now known as Vilnius. One time he got tired and fell asleep. While sleeping he had a dream about iron wolf hauling very loud. So naturally what every normal dude would, he went to visit a shrink. So he did, he went to the medieval equivalent of shrink called "high priest" and high priest told him that it's all pretty chill and his dream means that he needs to find here a city which will be as tough as iron and will haul as loud as that wolf in dream. By hauling he meant will be as glorious that everyone will be heard about it.

Aniways, you guys from Northern America don't hae that kinda stuff, cuz back then you were living in Europe or Africa, or Mars... :lol:

Wow, what a pass!

tdotrep2 · Post #1053 » by **tdotrep2** » Fri Mar 16, 2012 5:42 pm

nice pass by val, but that dude on rytas sucks, he passes up a open 12 footer and misses a lay-up.

Thanks for explaining it. I meant no offense to my Lithuanian friends by that comment...I saw the Iron Wolf mascot on the screen for 5 seconds and was puzzled.

My family are Indo-Aryans from North India...we are used to jungle animals and village life :wink:

I agree, the guy who was guarding Jonas V in the 1st looks like his day job is a plumber / car mechanic
