Where Are They Now? Part 27

Lamond Murray won't quit, and has recently signed up to play for the Los Angeles Lightning in the International Basketball league. Uniquely, they begin their season tomorrow.

Mamadou N'Diaye is playing for Zalgiris in Lithuania, where he averages 11.4 points points per game, 6.6 rebounds, and a damn fine 92% from the free throw line.

Boniface Ndong averages 9.1 points and 5.1 rebounds a game for Unicaja Malaga in Spain.

Lee Nailon is playing for Lokomotiv Novosybirsk in Russia, where he is known as "Li Neylon". (Really.) Neylon averages 22.1 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, which is quite a lot.

Matt Nelson is in France playing for Toulouges. I don't know what he averages, because their is "en construction". Which is French for "under construction".

Spencer Nelson averaged less than 6 points and 4 rebounds for Upim Bologna in Italy, before getting injured.

Brad Newley is playing for Panionios in Greece. I watched him play the other day (I do not know why Panionios versus Panathinaikos was on British television), and suffice to say, Newley's layups were a bit of an adventure. One of those bad adventures you hear about on the news. However, Newley is shooting 65% from two point range this season, so maybe it was just a blip. (Lonny Baxter beasted in this game, by the way. And the attendance was, literally, nil.) Newley averages 11 points and 1 assist.

Jared Newson played this season for the Cairns Taipans in the Australian league, alongside that Nathan Jawai fella that everyone likes. Newson averaged 13.4 points and 5.5 rebounds.

David Noel is currently having a trial with Barcelona, or at least that's what I concluded from this Babelfish translation:

"American eaves David Noel will be gotten up to the training of the DKV Joventut, where it will remain on approval during next the two weeks. The new champion of Glass ULEB has frees a seat of extracommunitarian after Lonny Baxter will let the equipment to average season to file by the Greek Panionios and the club decided not to replace to him immediately."

Moochie Norris spent this season in the CBA, playing for the Yakima Sun Kings. He earned All-CBA First Team honours after averaging 11.7 points, 5.4 rebounds and 8.9 assists a game.

Lukasz Obrzut hardly plays for the Bakersfield Jam of the D-League. He averages only 2.1 points and 2.3 rebounds.

Michael Olowokandi has not played this season. Can you keep a good man down? No. Can you keep Michael Olowokandi down? Yes.

Hello, and welcome to this website, the best NBA website made by an English person, ever.

The point of this website is to fill the gap in the NBA fansite market that combines accurate data with an irreverent, humorous and frankly rather rude take on the league and its people, something that's only really been explored in blog form. Of course, the fact that we're now exploring this in blog form too is a little hypocritical, but never mind. There's more than just that.
