Ron Paul, Rick Santorum Suggest Foul Play From Romney Campaign
Ron Paul Reacts To Maine Caucus Results
This morning, Ball Don't Lie published a really smart, self-aware dispatch from D-League All-Star Rod Benson. Benson's one of our favorite baller-bloggers, a real funny, energetic chap who also happens to be a good player. In this morning's post, Rod wondered whether his notable blogging career -- filled with insider humor about NBA players and organizations -- serve as an impediment to his dream of making an NBA roster. Benson has yet to get his big NBA break, and late last season discussed the possibility of "giving up" on the Bigs for now to make his money in Europe.That post last season made it seem Benson was near his breaking point. But this morning's effort didn't really get at that -- Rod seemed more genuinely curious about the quandary than resigned to giving up either the NBA or the blog. It's especially odd considering Benson has reportedly signed with a French club, according to I Love Basket via Ball in Europe.
The report from ILB (a French language blog) says SLUC Nancy, a team based in Nancy in the northeastern region of Lorraine, has signed Benson. Nancy, the reigning French league champion, will compete in Euroleague's Group B (also featuring Panathinaikos, one of the top European contenders this season -- stacked with Vassilis Spanoulis, Dimitris Diamantidis and Sarunas Jasikevicius) as well as the regular French league.
Congratulations to Benson, if this has in fact happened. (There's no mention on the SLUC Nancy site nor Benson's official site.) Benson would surely have been a better producer than a handful of big men drawing NBA paychecks ... but a man has to squelch his pride at some point and get those dollars. And hey, if it's good enough for Josh Childress and SHAWN KEMP, it'll be just fine for the Boom Tho Movement.
