In defence of Jose
Good news: Jose doesn’t have to guard Carlos Arroyo anymore. Bad news: He has to guard all the other PGs in the NBA. (Warren Toda, EFE)
I wrote a serious-minded post (well, more serious than you usually find here) over at RJM Basketball about Jose Calderon.
Yes, I said RJM Basketball — that’s Raul Jimenez’s new English blog. Plus, Raul’s been busy posting at Solobasket and looking for a coaching gig. How does he do it? Must be the insight and the passion.
He also translated my Jose post into Spanish AND got a comment … nice. Here’s the comment, translated by Google Language Tools:
Well, [Jose] never has had a spectacular sideways [lateral] movement for the physical conditions you have, that is true. Not a great defender, but neither is bad bad.What I do not know is whether the improvement is through a different attitude, if not over whether, or if you happen to teach him to defend otherwise.How good will they have outside entrances [???] also gives more vidilla [a little more life to?] the blog.
That was from Alvaro Martinez. Raul’s response:
I hope that Jeff is usual with a more or less regularly. The truth is that it is a real pleasure to have a point of view from North America.
Well, Raul, I actually try to be unusual. But I’d be honoured to be a regular on RJM Basketball.
