Mario Kasun's journal-- where he disses the Magic & says he wants to be off the team "I couldn't find the diary on their website (www.fivemag.de), so I quickly translated it myself. ?FIVE ? Basketball for Life? / Issue 04 ? 2006 / April 2006 - Kasun's Diary on page 11" This was posted in German, and a poster on SomethingAwful.com translated it for me. Now I am relaying it to you. quote: ?I think I?m cursed. In I did not get to play a single second in the last three games. And then against Denver I get on the court and injure my knee after 4 minutes of playing time. It doesn?t really matter though. I was pissed off before because I didn?t get traded. Now the trading deadline is gone and I?m stuck with the Magic. As we can?t reach the playoffs anymore, every guy on the roster is getting playing time ? even the waterboy. Well, stop, not everyone. I ment to say: every player except for me is getting to play! I?m not quite sure how to put it?but?.Orlando sucks! I just want to get out of here. The only good thing here are the 28?C. Steve Francis was traded to New York. I hope he is doing well over there. Even though public opinion seesm to be down on Francis: Steve is okay. I think he will be able to play with Stephon. Larry Brown is a good coach after all. Maybe there will be a couple of trades before the start of next season. You never know in this business. I think I?m going to play in europe next season. Spain would be great. They pay good money. Sounds tough, but you have to pay attention to the money part as well. I will probably sell my house here in Orlando, although I really like it. It is somewhere in between a real mansion and a regular house, with three garages (?)now he talks about the german Bundesliga and the injury of a player in germany for a bit(?) That?s about it. We are playing Cleveland tomorrow and against Golden State the day after tomorrow. Do you want to know what I see in our future? Two fat losses ? and if I was allowed to, I would even bet on it.? Your Mario" What a piece of crap. I'm so glad that scrub is going back to Europe. He got more than enough floor time at the beginning of the season and last season, and he was a joke.
If anyone could help me pass this along to the Orlando Sentinel-- maybe Brian Schmitz email address-- I think they need to see it, and say something about it, because Mario doesn't need to be getting away with this crap.
Here is his email address: bschmitz@orlandosentinel.com I think you should try to email him this but you should include a link if you want him to believe this is real. If you can't get a link, send him a copy of the magazine article scanned or something.
I have requested that the poster of the article scan the magazine, since he said the diary was not posted online. I really hope that I can get a scan of it. It will be in German and Schmitz will have to get a translator he trusts to do it, but if I can at least get the article I know he will take a look at it. Mario is a bastard.
I emailed Brian Schmitz. Hopefully he can do something with what I provided, no source or article. I just want Mario Kasun lambasted for this.
