Nate Wolters signs for Red Star and a Euroleague debut

Zvezda je tokom prethodnog dana zvanično dovela novog stranca. Nejt Volters doputovao je večeras u Beograd, i na aerodromu okupljene novinare pozdravio u papučama, pre odlaska na upoznavanje sa novim saigračima, te standardnih pregleda koji ga čekaju ujutru.

Dolazak novog beka u redove ekipe Dejana Radonjića, trebalo bi da skine deo tereta sa linije napada, ali se još postavlja pitanje gde je centar. Tokom prethodnih sezona, Zvezda se snažno oslanjala na centarsku liniju koju su u glavnim ulogama činili Marjanović i Cirbes, te brojni epizodni likovi, o kojima bi moglo da se napiše odvojeno poglavlje.

Another legendary career has come to an end, as Nemanja Vidić announces his retirement from professional football. The incredible defender from the Serbian town of Užice, has made an incredible mark in the european football history, becoming one of the best centre backs that was ever seen on the perfectly green pitches of the world.

Today marks thirteen years since Andrés Iniesta has debuted for Barcelona’s first team. Now, a club legend, Iniesta has started his road to stardom at only 18 against Bruges, on a cold Tuesday night. It is said that Van Gaal had only told him to: “Get out there and play”. The rest, as you know, is already history.

Hoy se cumplen 13 años desde el debut oficial de Andrés Iniesta para el primer equipo del FC Barcelona. Ahora, una auténtica leyenda del club, Iniesta empezó su camino hacia las estrellas con tan solo 18 años, contra el Brujas.  Esa noche, Van Gaal sólo le dijo que saliera y jugara. El resto… Ya lo sabemos.

Košarkaški klub Crvena zvezda Telekom, dovodi novo pojačanje. Poslednji u nizu “zvezdinih stranaca” je dvadesettrogodišnji Kvinsi Miler. Rođen u Čikagu, 206cm visoki krilni igrač, dosadašnju karijeru je proveo u Sjedinjenim Državama.

BC Red Star Telekom is bringing in a new player. The last of this year’s new faces is Quincy Miller. The Chicago born, twenty two year-old, has shown great potential ever since High School, and has spent a decade playing in the States. The first significant team he formed part of, was that of Baylor University, where he was named Freshman of the Year, in his first season.

Kapiten KK Crvena zvezda, Luka Mitrović, produžio je danas ugovor na još dodatnih godinu dana. Dvadesetdvogodišnji krilni centar crveno-belih je imao još jednu sezonu ugovorene saradnje, period koji je upravo udvostručio, dokazujući svoju posvećenost ekipi, uprkos činjenici da je letos draftovan od strane Filadelfije.

BC Red Star’s captain, Luka Mitrović, has further prolonged his contract. The 22 year-old captain who has already had a contract signed for the upcoming season, has decided to stay with the Belgrade red and whites, until 2017. Despite the fact that he was drafted by the Philadelphia Pelicans, earlier this year.

After weeks of rumors, it seems that they the next home for Gal Mekel is Serbia. The 27 year-old point guard from Israel is about to sign his contract with BC Red Star, as the Belgrade red and whites continue strengthening all of their positions.

As the transfer window is coming to a close, it is more than obvious that Belgrade’s red and whites want to do everything to further strengthen its squad for the upcoming season. Ryan Thompson is landing at BC Red Star.

The latest player to sign for the Serbian team is a 27 year-old, 1,98m (6’6) tall guard, that has spent the past season playing in the German Bundesliga. He can cover more than one position on court, by playing both as small forward, and point guard, depending on the team’s tactical ideas. A variety that will come in as very useful to coach, Dejan Radonjić.

Aside from Germany, he played four seasons for the Rider University, a season in Italy, and two more in Belgium, one for Okapi Aalstar and Oostende, where he won the League and the Cup, in the 2013/2014 season.  During the past season, in Brose Baskets Bamberg, he had an average of 12,3 points, 2,3 rebounds, and a 42% of 3 point hits.

He is the younger brother of Jason Thompson, another basketball player of the family, who was traded this summer for the Golden State Warriors. 

Ime najčešće pominjano u okviru priča o potencijalnom preporodu srpskog fudbala. Mladi napadač, dospeo je u žižu javnosti ove godine, a njegov talenat je u pravom svetlu počeo da isijava tek u novosadskoj Vojvodini, čiji navijači imaju prilike da uživaju u njegovim golovima na gotovo svakoj utakmici.
