Deron Goes To Turkey
via 24seconds
“I’m taking my talents to Turkey…”
I’m really excited about the potential NBA/International pairings we could see if this lockout stretches into 2012. Maybe Amar’e lacing ‘em up for Maccabi Tel Aviv? Better yet, how about Kobe donning the Benetton Treviso uni??
New Jersey Nets point guard Deron Williams according to reports will play in Turkey this fall if the NBA lock out continues through the fall (which is increasingly likely). Williams may join Besiktas, a team that Allen Iverson briefly played for last season.
It’ll be interesting to see if more players, specifically, players of Williams’ caliber make the move to Europe or China to play during the lock out. The money will be there for a few months of work, but what about the risk of a career ending injury?
Allen Iverson in Turkey Update.
He gets greeted by fans the Miami Heat way.
Misery loves company! Besiktas Cola Turka’s newest guard can now join your Sad Keanu cut out to fill your workspace with even more gloom!

The Toronto Raptors celebrate their own “Turkey Day” today in their game vs. the Indiana Pacers. Hedo Turkoglu, aka the Turkish Jordan, would contribute to Toronto’s win with 14 pts. 7 assists and 2 steals. Jordan’s numbers on a bad day.
