In my last game as a San Jose Bats player I experienced many highs and lows. First off, losing sucks and getting schooled by the turtles was not fun at all. On an individual basis, I did very well vs a very good backcourt. I knew I did my part, but even the cheerleaders could see that our lack of a PF really was killing. Detroit's Egils Treicmanis just walked over our whole team. He only shot a pittiful 9/25 from the floor, but the sucker raked in 36 rebounds which was only 3 less than our whole team managed. Guess when you can single-handly bring in over 4 times the OReb of the other team you don't really have to be a good shooter.
I was stomping towards the showers when my agent stops me. Next to him is someone that looks like a foreigner. The stranger was introduced as Mr. h3llsing. He grinned from ear to ear congratulating me on a very nice game. I mumbled something along the lines of "Yea, but we lost so it sucks!" He asked me how I would like to win some more games? I was interested. He pulled out a check book, scribbled for a little then handed me a check with more zeros on it than I had ever seen on a paycheck. After studdering a bit I managed to babble out "Wha .. Whaaat. is ths ...ffor?" "We would like to employ your services in the Lithuanian League." was the response. I was embarassed because being an ignorant american that really was not paying attention to geography as I was going through college, I had no clue where the Lithuanian League was. My agent picked up on my cluelessness and filled me in with the relevant information. "You would be playing in Europe for Ukmerges Santechnikai. They are currently placed 6th in the league adn could use your services." I asked about the number of players at each position and I was shocked to hear that the team already had 3 PG on the roster. When I questioned about that, both men just looked at each other then back at me and my agent responded, "Let's just call the other PG as insurance that you will have some competition. I know you're going to rock those others and really show the team that you are worth their investment in you. When you have proven your worth, I am sure they will move a couple of players, but in the meantime they need insurance that you will be able to adapt to the customs and people you will now be living with." I was still concerned with how much playing time might be available on this new team but two things quickly came to mind. One was the paycheck that seemed to be glowing in my shaky hands. I just had to glance back on the court and see the gameboard with the stats scrolling across the screen to get my other motivaiton. After a moment to reflect how horrible the Bats have been playing of late, I turned to Mr. h3llsing, smiled and stated, "I would be very honored to help your team win more games!"
