This is the reason that Sefolosha wears the tattoo on his left shoulder that says, "The game chose me," a truth born out of his Switzerland roots where basketball stars are as scarce as war heroes. The man next door gave him a basketball at 11 years old, and with those long arms and that agility, he couldn't resist the lure of the sport. "I figured," Sefolosha said Monday, "it was the better bet." Eventually, he turned into the kind of selfless, sure European player who makes life harder for young American prospects. Out of Europe's non-traditional basketball outposts, he is part of a growing generation of Euros who shunned soccer for basketball. Switzerland didn't have a basketball star before him, but maybe they'll come now. </div> Man Luol Deng and Thabo living in the same street. Neighbours are lucky.
So Thabo moved to Northbrook too? Damn man that's four Bulls players in the same neighborhood and the funny thing is I started looking for apartments there before I even found out Gordon, Deng and Noce resided there. Now Thabo too, that's sweet. It'd be four times as nice if my fianc?e and I could find a place there now. You should've seen that practice when they were kicking the ball around. Someone might post it on Youtube though, who knows?
