Khalid Reeves is no longer in Costa Rica

I think I should give an update on the Khalid Reeves situation in Costa Rica. Apparently Mr Reeves went to Costa Rica as a favor to a college buddy of his, Joe Lear, that happens to be the GM and President of Saprissa Basketball. They are so close that Khalid is playing for free and he's buying game tickets for kids and everything.

He played for like a month with Saprissa before the playoffs started, this is when things got "messy". Saprissa lost the first two games of their first round which is to the best of five. Khalid scored 46 points in those games combined and got hard critics for the losses (I should also mention that Saprissa's best player , Henry Martinez, left the team and signed with a Mexican expansion team). Khalid never show up for the third game and Saprissa got swept.

So, right now I don't know where's Khalid Reeves but I don't think he's wearing no Saprissa jersey.

Khalid Reeves is in Costa Rica

I have some "news" for you all. Remember Khalid Reeves? He played for Miami and Dallas, among other teams, in the second part of the 90's. He was traded like 17 times. Anyhow, the 35 year old point guard is now going to play for Saprissa basketball, one of the main teams of the very bad Costa Rican professional basketball league. As soon as I get my hands on a link I'll post it here.


Remember my ramblings about the comparisons between the current USA basketball team and the Dream Team? This is a real inside approach, love this note by Chris Sheridan. They hit a very good the point saying that this team is far more athletic than the 92 team, but still doesn't have quite the same aura. Although aura doesn't make a great team, it was part of that 1992 Olympic team, no matter if you were sitting behind the bench or watching the games miles and miles away, you must had feel it!



What is missing from this team? Duncan? KG ? Shaq? Lebron, Carmelo and Wade becoming bigger names? Whatever it is, we could definitely witness something special in Beijing next year, as a basketball fan I love to see a team that we could really compared with the Dream Team maintaining a straight face in the process.
