Hardest to read box score I've ever seen

I'm glad Cellus did well, hopefully he can use overseas as a springboard back to the NBA a la AP only faster.

One other Bradley-related note from the German League--

Former Bradley player Antoine Tisby had been signed by the KICKZ Muenchen (a Munich team in the German 2-League sponsored by a German shoe company). He was leading them in rebounds and was one of the leading rebounders in the league. But after 4 games, he was homesick, and asked the team to void his contract, which they agreed to do. He played his last game today (10/15/06) and will return home.

Here is the translation of the bottom section regarding Tisby, courtesy of Altavista/babelfish--

The bad message: US center Antoine Tisby will accumulate on Saturday last in the KICKZ Dress and on Sunday to its homeland will return. "it has homesickness and we its desire for cancellation of an agreement followed", says Belik. And further: "the search for a replacement runs on full speed." In the first three season plays Tisby with distance of best Rebounder (9.0 per play) in the resident of Munich was team


And Eddie Cage is again playing for the Sheffield Sharks of the British Basketball League. They are off to a 2-1 start with Eddie averaging about 15 ppg.

Maybe Anthony Parker's old team, Maccabi Tel Aviv, can use Marcellus.
Instead, Maccabi brought in former Creighton player Rodney Buford this year to replace Anthony Parker. But now they are not happy with him. Instead of Anthony Parker's leadership and unselfishness, Buford is being accused of being far too selfish of a player. AP was a beloved sports figure in Israel, but Buford is not as likeable and refuses to socialize with anyone but the other American on the team, Will Bynum. It sounds like Maccabi is ready to unload him.
