Lamar Odom SING UP VITORIA

It had been a long time since the signing of a basketball player not raise much excitement in Spain as it has the Lamar Odom from the Labor Kutxa .

We had already used to the way it was the opposite , ie , that the best of our league were the NBA or even other countries with greater economic power .

Only Greek teams , Turkish, Russian or any other league were the ones who were able to dare with such contracts.

In the Liga Endesa ACB had consolidated the feeling that such players with great resume would have great difficulty to suit all levels. The NBA is the best professional league in the world , because there are the best , but what makes everything around them is relatively easy for them . It is true that the match schedule is very demanding, but they prefer to play than to train hard to prepare one or two a week at most parties. So, with the fear that ended being more than just a man risking them any name.Was the baskonista team, Josean Querejeta , which has again taken a brave and risky decision that until recently would have been considered impossible. But sometimes circumstances force to find a punch that will refresh the illusion around a club and a team . In this case, mired in a very difficult season for the budget down , and therefore sports level in a place accustomed to other things , played reinvent or entering a dynamic not recommended discouragement. And boy have you got, because without stepping on the court confirmation of its arrival hiring has put Vitoria on the world map . The media and marketing impact they have received has been amazing and, venturing as a gray , nondescript future has now become an overwhelming interest in adding a player of such quality and as well known globally. If you get up a good performance on the court to help them improve their performance , then the risk will be assumed much worthwhile.Lamar Odom has been a star first class in the U.S., not as statistically significant as others, but with a great reputation for his undeniable talent . Even as a young man was considered a very special player , but the unfortunate circumstances surrounding him were a constant threat. But to glory being NBA champion with the Lakers twice and was part of the U.S. national team . Until the last stage in his private life fell apart and missed the dangerous distractions to divert to debauchery . His marriage to a famous U.S. glamor him completely unfocused basketball . Respected and appreciated by his colleagues and rivals, the news coming about his personal degradation were very disturbing. It seemed that we were attending another case of a star with a stormy end.But with his decision to come to play Vitoria , and seeing the first manifestations and attitude , it seems that Odom is willing to redeem . Comes earning little money, even if they are reported higher figures , and it seems that , in his words , lcentrado in ' reunited with basketball , peace and tranquility "and to rate that sometimes " less is more "in life by the fact that he agreed to come to a far more humble surroundings .
