Pre-Season sucks at times

Funny to think that it is now the pre-season for domestic leagues around (most) of the world of basketball – when coming from one of the busiest summers with the national teams EVER!

Still, domestic games are where the players are made and fans really get to see the players grow and have the games at their door step.

But … sometimes these pre-season games can just suck big time..

With less than a week until the season tips-off over here, and one of the last pre-season games… what you really hate to see, is an injury to any player.

So when covering the pre-season tournament in Salo last night, and just before half-time you see a player go down and the reaction from the other players… it just sucks!

Knowing that the players (once again MOST of them 😉 ) have worked hard over the summer to get ready for a new season, and to have this happen .. sure, it is part of the game and there have been other instances where a player has gotten a serious injury while I’ve done coverage of something.

Let’s hope the injury to the player is not as bad as it might have looked from the other players reactions… and hope the recovery is quick and we’ll see him back on the courts soon!!
