still there. 18 points, 3 assists and 21 in the first victory valuation season of a CB Illescas needed before the Ford Burgos. While pledging himself every year that is going to be the last to dispute, Joe Alonso remains active. I can not help but smile every summer when a mutual friend, or Joe himself tells me that's still fine to play and we can see by the courts another season. Pulling
file and doing an exercise in hindsight, Madrid's record shows a history longer than the children of Heidi. At 37, Joe is a rara avis , a unique player who has known each and every national basketball divisions, from the distant to the current First B Adecco LEB Oro De physical talent and Maradona (fortunately his brain belongs to another school), away from the archetypal profile of the current basketball player, Joe has found its natural habitat in competitive states, for which he has successfully passed along nearly two decades become the bane of so many coaches that practically no longer any need to see video to recite by rote scouting, great shooter and dribbler, good management of both hands, feet, very fast, capable of dividing and drag to help finding the open man ... His first boat from 6.25 to give a very quick step back, back again after the three-point line and drove a triple play is now a classic house brand.
And the veteran guard has a competitive nature that forces him to fight and win every time, whatever it is in play. Doctorate cum laude in the game when Gasol Pocha, Reyes and company did not know what a card, Joe is able to challenge you to a 1x1 one hour before a game, be a sprain, causing the subsequent attack nerves of coach put his foot on ice, bandaging the ankle and go out and play like any other Friday, is, by canceling the opposing defense.
anecdotes in the stage where I met Joe at the Universidad Complutense more than one war stories with he is the protagonist. Do you remember Raja Bell? In the pre-season 2002/03, the U.S., which has become a leading player in the NBA, came to Madrid with the TAU to play a home in which our small team was measured with Real Madrid, the Lucentum Alicante (then in the ACB) and the Basque team. In the first game of the tournament, with the latter, Joe gave him a suit of 29 points to Bell, who could not stop his opponent to the despair of Dusko Ivanovic, who outlined his characteristic wry smile from the bench to each basket of our ' gamer. "
Well, days later, Raja Bell abandon discipline Vitoria club after hearing the siren call of the NBA, calling in the Dallas Mavericks, where they begin to carve a reputation as an advocate of extreme hardness, skirting the bounds of legality and starring in altercations with Kobe Bryant and Andrea Bargnani for would be punished. From Madrid, and in October, we imagined a Bell traumatized by his experience with Joe Alonso, repeating over and over again in training Nowitzki: "No you can imagine, Dirk, is a chubby guy in Spain ...."
