I feel it coming From my head to my feet I see the people going crazy on the streets Tonight Let me take you for a holiday, that you won’t forget (for a holiday you will not forget) And if you’re ready For a foreign affair The drums are beating And the flags are flying up into the air (Aidi aidi) Don’t you miss it boy, if you hate regrets So Gimme a high five For now is the time to celebrate Time for a game Time for a fame Time for a marching parade We’re kicking a party And I know it’s just gonna be great Time for a game Time for a fame Time for a marching parade Joy parade I don’t care what your name is I don’t give a damn what your team is Let’s make some noise start shaking the hall Celebrate celebrate basketball Who’s gonna weep about losing Raise your glass it’s time for a bruising Let’s raise some hell start breaking the walls Celebrate celebrate all night long Hey, can you see Fireworks in the sky Hey, do you feel We beat the drums the flags are flying high I wanna scream from the top of my lungs That i’ll be there Yes we”ll be there (The Official EuroBasket 2011 song) (C) (P) PROMOSTAR Performers – Marijus Mikutavicius, Mantas Jankavicius, Vilija Pilibaityte — Mia Lyrics – Marijus Mikutavicius, Aidas Puklevicius Music – Marijus Mikutavicius, Andrius Borisevicius

Nikos Galis…A LEGEND!!! (scored 40 points that night). The final score: Greece-USSR 103-101. Former NBA established defender, Sarunas Marciulionis, was Galis’ personal guard in the game. He once mentioned him as one of the toughest opponents he ever had to face, when asked by an NBA reporter, who of course had no idea! Too pitty Europe learned about Nick when he was old, and not as athletic as in the early 80s. In 1987,he seams twice as athletic as young and mighty Marciulionis, but imagine he’s 30 years old. Galis could easily dunk even at that age, even being only 6,1 feet(1.83). But he disliked dunking, despite learning the game in the states (dunk mania was not there yet, though). He dunked several times in 1980-81 season, when he was only 23 years old, but those dunks have only been recorded by a photographer, and not by a video camera. (the game was not popular those days in Greece). In that season, Nick averaged 44 points per game. Dammit. We’ve seen so little of him!

I am in high school and love the game of basketball, I really want to be a coach one day and I really know the game, but how do I get a chance to become a coach? And I was wondering how much they get paid?

In basketball practice I’m always getting called for double dribbling I think( I’m relatively new to basketball). But I would stop dribbling, hold the ball, and re-dribble with one hand. How is this against the rules?

Sorry, I r new to basketball.
