Some Spanish clubs are scouting this (he is said to be 15 years old and 2,24 m)

:

Ibaka (signed this season with Oklahoma) and Eyenga (drafted by Cleveland this summer) are other African players brought to Spanish clubs when they were almost children.
But this Bienvenu Letuni will be lucky if he can lead a normal like, I think.

He looks like he's 40, and I thought you were saying he makes 2.24mil. How tall is 2,24 in American? Little over 7'4"? How much does he weigh? 10 stones?

Wow, he really does have the face of a grizzled old man. Holly crap. At least people will be able to say he hasn't aged a bit when he really is 50.

he looks pissed. Can he move, or does he have the agility of a rooted palm tree like most people that height?

Are you sure he isn't related to Greg Oden?

Well, it's possible he will be in the 2015 draft. Then you can say to Kahn that he must begin to put money in a moneybox because in 2015 Villacampa will continue being the DKV Joventut General Manager. Bad luck again, friends. :winkgrin:

You still don't understand the buyout restrictions set forth by the NBA, do you?

Yes, I understand it, and I understand too that in 2012 the new Collective Bargaining Agreement can change this stupid rule if the NBA sure want get the best international players.

I don't believe this rule is a deal between NBA and FIBA. FIBA teams not are stupids.

But I not sure that you understand that if DKV want get one Ricky Rubio, DKV should have worked hard with thousands of kids.

I have to understand you before I can understand whatever I'm supposed to understand about DVK.

Eyenga wasn't a child when he went to Spain I don't think. Genjuro will be able to answer this for sure because he knows the agents who represent him and lives in the town where Eyenga played. But the Spanish partners with Andy Miller's agency hand-pick players from Africa themselves. They brought Mamadou Samb to Spain when he was young as well, and they have camps in Africa every year.

Cut the crap and show your money, dude. 8-)

WTF do you think is this? The jungle? Do you want to pay us the young players with mirrors and trinkets?

southern wolf · Post #16 » by **southern wolf** » Fri Oct 16, 2009 2:18 am

So he's 'said to be' 15 years old. I don't think they'll ever find out how old he actually is.

I wanna see him arm wrestle Manute Bol.

cpfsf · Post #17 » by **cpfsf** » Fri Oct 16, 2009 2:28 am

What's his name, I want to find some more info about him

Also can someone tell me the dimensions for a sig? I didn't want to start a new thread over something that is just a one sentence answer. It says, "It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image."

and with my trusty google translator...

lobishome meant to say wrote:Cut a fool and money, your friends will be displayed. Tae Kwon Do, do you believe it? Jungle? You pay us and our young players to make inexpensive jewelry and mirrors?

You make a good point about cutting money. Friend's will always try to get their cut.

I personally think Tae Kwon Do is an ineffective way of self defense.

Yes Jungle is a word.

I would certainly think that in today's economy, if you find the pay unsuitable, we could bring those jobs back to America to help reduce the unemployment rate.

Can't we just cut him open and count the rings?

its really fun to play look at this freak, i won't even charge you a dollar. but seriously how often do these guys pan out? Most of the time they turn out to be overhyped gimicks. Podkolzin was supposed to be 7'5": Dirk's shooting meets Bol's blocking but with Damon Stoudamire speed and Iverson handle and Anne Hathaway's good looks with Bill Clintons diplomatic skills and Lawrence Welk's entertainment ability. He now plays in Italy? or is it Russia now? We have Eaton, Yao (kinda) and Muresan (kinda) as the only recent-ish examples of really tall guys being servicable players and even then they just end up with huge injury problems. All 3 of these guys will have had their careers ended by injury.

Sun MingMing?
Hammed Haddadi?
Shawn Bradley?
all terrible failures
