 I have been posting on here for quite some time now, and I know that many of you are not from the US. So, I figured I would find out once and for all where you all are from and/or reside.

I’ll Start! I’m from Southern California, but I live and (follow basketball) from South of the border. I currently bounce back and forth between Guatemala and Oaxaca, Mexico.

[LOFTYParticipant]

 I’m south of slc about 20 minutes, sandy.

[jmtc77Participant]

[SwatLakeCityParticipant]

Born in Provo, UT, raised in Omaha, Nebraska. I now reside West Jordan, Utah (Sandy is practically right next door to where I live) I’ve been on here since 2009, but I started out posting from Rexburg, ID then moved to Ogden, Utah in 2011, but since 2015 I’ve been in West Jordan. (I’ve been a jazz fan ever since Stockton and Malone made the finals against MJ and the Bulls)

[LOFTYParticipant]

 I worked on the gene Fullmer pool in West Jordan last week. I’ve been a jazz fan since 1990, Santa brought me a pack of basketball cards and since then I’ve been hooked on basketball, not so much the cards but more the sport. I gave up on basketball cards years ago

[SwatLakeCityParticipant]

I actually live right next to that pool, it’s just about 10 blocks north from me!!! 

[Scrooge McDuckParticipant]

The team went bankrupt? LOL 

[jmtc77Participant]

 I know it is sad… Now they are back, but it was the team that developed Kukoc, Bargnani and Tsikasvili…

This happens fairly often in Europe though!

[ZouldiersParticipant]

 Philippines y’all. Quezon City to be exact

[HeroescantdieParticipant]

 I’m from the city that rhymes with fun: Regina, Saskatchewan. Not really a basketball hotbed. But Trey Lyles lived in Saskatoon for a bit. But you never heard of him until he made it big. We make hockey players, not ballers haha.

I’ve been on here since like 2007/2008 at least.

[BogDon_KryptParticipant]

As you may have guessed, I am from Belgrade, Serbia (FR Yugoslavia).  I began playing organized basketball with ŠKK Zvezdara, a club in Belgrade.  Not too brag, but I’ve earned an All-EuroLeague First Team and a EuroBasket All-Tournament Team selection in 2017. I may or may not have been named the 2017 All-Europe Player of the Year by some Eastern European magazine.  Let’s just say I can flat out Bogdan.  

 

[Scrooge McDuckParticipant]

I don’t believe that since you’ve posted some of the worst rubbish I’ve ever seen even for this site. I guess the fact your from a former communist territory is in your favor. Care to say who you are? Are are you a lying coward braggart?

[BogDon_KryptParticipant]

You can scrooge mcduck my Bogdan.  You haven’t even said where you’re from let alone indicated if the territory has  any communist affiliation.

And rubbish?  My friend, I have coined many household terms such as “Bogdan in the rough” “flat out Bogdan” and “straight up Bogdan.”  Also you have more negs than I and have probably played less years on the Sacramento Queens (sic Shaq) than I

 I don’t recall many names from Draft Express board apart from Jon Wyers who used to post as Coach Jon and was a very insightful poster.

[CynthiaParticipant]

I was born in Bulgaria.

Spent most of my kid/teen years in Oklahoma US, this was the longest I spent at any location. Hence why I’m an OKC fan.

After Oklahoma I lived in many different places, most barely even a year, I will list in order:
Mexico, Italy, Minnesota US, California US, Texas US, back to California US which is where I currently am but may be moving to New Mexico US within a year or two.

I’ve been on this site since at least 2008 if not earlier, I just didn’t create an account until later because I was a lurker.

It’s very interesting to see everyone from so many different countries, I honestly assumed about 3/4 of this site was from the US but it seems not.
