    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">More news from spies and I'm hoping some of you out there in reader-land can help me out a bit more. Apparently Andrea Bargnani, according to a friend who writes here for the most important Italian sports daily, looks bigger, stronger and better than when he left.

    That's not a surprise ? he lost an awful lot of weight when he missed that month after having his appendix taken out ? but the bigger part of the equation is significant if he's going to have to defend centres and power forwards this season.

    Now, the quandary. Apparently, the RAI television network is planning to do a couple of the Italian exhibition games leading up to the European Championships in September and I understand we might be able to pick it up over here.

    Knowing that I can usually convince friendly saloon keepers with access to satellite dishes to look hither and yon for hoops, someone let me know when and where and I can see what we can do.</div>

    Nice. Good to hear he is bigger now. He needs to start going for those rebounds and playing inside more. However, as long as his 3pt shot is still on, I'll be happy.

    Good to seem him bulking up. It's hard to be a succesful NBA big-man when you're not very strong. I don't expect Bargnani's range to go away but I want to see him be more of a banger this season like Dirk was last season.

    100% photoshop. There is no way that is a legit pic. Look at how weird his head looks.

    Damnit, I wish you hadn't pointed that out as i had my hopes up. Definately fake. His neck is way too small compared to the size of his upper body.

    I thought he went on the Darko workout plan.

    Man, I never even thought about that. But now that you mention it, it does make sense. I guess we'll just have to wait until Eurobasket to find out for certain.
