IT'S CLEAR AS A BELL THAT THIS GUY SHOULD PLAY FOR THE CROATIAN NT History repeats itself. Not only are the defending NCAA champions Michigan State Spartans once again contending for the NCAA title., but on the other side of the world one of the new millenium's most prominent Spartan players, after another very successful Euroleague campaign, is once again seriously talking about wearing the Croatian NT jersey in the upcoming World Championship. After his team Maccabi Tel Aviv lost the last battle of the quarter-final series vs Partizan Belgrade, Alan completely opened his mind to the reporters present: "That thing still ain't over yet. I admire Croatia as a country - everybody there has been really good to me and I felt very good. I STILL CONSIDER PLAYING FOR THE CROATIAN NT." - Alan Anderson, Maccabi Tel Aviv Of course AA should present a huge boost for the Croatian NT squad in the World Championship in Turkey (28th August - 12th September). The only question is whether the new Croatian NT coach Joke Vrankovic is prepared to take the rock from the Croatian NT proven ball hogs and give it to AA to do his thing. At this point I need to remind you that Alan Anderson isn't just a one-dimensional offensive option - he is also an extremely tenacius defender. His overall game and burning desire to prove what he can do on premium international scale could boost the Croatian NT chances, especially in the game vs U.S.A. Now, decision is up to Mr. Vrankovic, as well as his superiors in the Croatian Basketball Federation. Our annual poll clearly indicates that 57.1% of CroHoops.com visitors would like to see Alan Anderson as part of the Croatian NT. Some people should get rid of their prejudiced way of thinking. ASAP.
