Jimmy likes Fesenko's attitude. Jimmy can tell Fesenko is not all about Kyrylo, Kyrylo, Kyrylo.

Jimmy needs to learn to speak in the first person!

Jazzy Brit doesn't care about Seinfeld. JB expects Fes to spend early part of next season alternately wowing Development League coaches with his European ball-handling skills (strangely still rare for Big Men in the US despite the example of Duncan and Dirk Nowitzki - NBA is rich enough to pick the best), and riding the pine as 12th man on Jerry's bench, or "DNP-Coach's decision"

Fesenko Forever! Hafa Never! Fesenko Forever! Hafa Never!

Fes will amaze a lot of people in the D-league for a little while, but I can't see him riding the pine for too long. Unless he gets blown out of the water when he gets some actual playing time, he will be the number 2 center by the end of the season. Collins will taking the 12th man on the bench role.

Jimmy does need to learn to speak in the first person ... His comments are getting annoying. How would you like it if I started writing in Spanish? Que pass hombres? No sabes que debemos tratar de hablar en espaï¿½ol? Es importante que Fesenko llegue en buen condicion. Asi podemos usar sus talentos este aï¿½o. Kind of stupid, wouldn't you agree?

The article mentioned that Fes may go play at IMG where AK played last year in the offseason. Based on AK's results after playing there, IMG should be banned. Hopefully the "head disease" AK contracted is not contagious and Fes will not start crying because of his lack of touches or playing time.

Ease up on Jimmy, Jimmy's Funny.
Speaking in the 3rd and speaking spanish are not even related.
Fezenko Forever! Collins Never!!!

Mike, I think you're right. A big enthusiastic rebounder - which Fesenko seems to be - together with his apparent willingness to bang it inside on the offence, is unlikely to be fazed by the more physical play of the NBA. He'll have to get used to the refereeing, which is bound to be different from what he's used to. Once he's done that and can stay out of foul trouble - watch out! He's got Millsap as an example of how to prove yourself to Jerry S, and Boozer as an example of how to play as a skilful Big.

Jimmy speaks Spanish too, so Jimmy is cool with rvalens2 decision. For those of you who don't speak spanish like Jimmy, you can translate text on the internet at altavista.com

The next milsap | 9:37 a.m. Aug. 24, 2007

Fes plays intense he just might pan out to be the next milsap, and then we can dump collins, and have a true center. Maybe Fes can teach Memo how to rebound, and block and post up.
