Under the 19-th number in the NBA draft in 2013," Cleveland Cavaliers "choose Sergey Karasev," 

- NBA commissioner David Stern .

With these words, that we now turn in the hit parade out of the competition, it all started. Actually, there is nothing to comment on, and not in principle this standard phrases head leagues nothing special. Simply, it marked the beginning of ... well, we do not yet know what. One thing is clear: the announcement Stern was not only the starting point in the career overseas Karasev, but also an important moment in the history of Russian basketball. Here we go! "Best time of pick? When Adrian Wojnarowski made ​​a typo in one of his transfer news, and the" sources "of some journalists have repeated this mistake" - Alex Kennedy and journalist. Honestly, do not even suspect about what kind of typo in question - and it is not important. More fun by the fact that not only in Russia is the "professionals" that can give the work of others for your own. The next time I see his next news copied without reference, I promise not to get angry and think about this story and smile. Colleagues salute!

As we know our readers (as well as those who watched the ceremony draft pick live on ESPN or NBA TV ), two-time NBA champion and the author of six three-point hits in the final showdown "moonlighting" in the NBA Draft and television correspondents took Express interviewed actually selected newcomers. But, as it turns out, all of the sweetest we are missed. You had to watch Barclays Center TV - channel home arena of "Brooklyn," where the ceremony was held. Here, as the interviewer made ​​a charming daughter of one of the greatest hockey players of the Soviet Union and the world of Igor Larionov. What can I say? Butt and so Alain Delon, and so close to such beauty could not look favorable. So you'd better remember him as he was on the floor of AmericanAirlines Arena a week ago - in the seventh game with the "San Antonio". "Ten years ago today my dream came true. What an awesome time!" - forward, "Miami" Lebron James . Just think of it - 10 years later the world a better basketball player began his career in the NBA as well as now Sergey Karasev - being selected in the NBA Draft, "Cleveland." However, yesterday at the Russians never had a chance to look next to David Stern as spectacular as LeBron. Judge for yourself. "I'm surprised as everyone else," - the first issue of the 2013 draft pick Anthony Bennett . But the striker from the University of Nevada at all like LeBron in 2003 and Kairi Irving in 2011, drafted "Cavs "the first number. Such a choice has become a sensation, but before the ceremony in Brooklyn, many overseas scouts called Bennett's most ready for the NBA player of all potential recruits. Wait and see. But in any case Karasev lucky enough to be on the same team at once with the first two numbers pick. Maybe James will be back in a year or two, "Cleveland", eh? "Kirilenko said," If you have the chance to go to the NBA - agrees immediately. Nothing I think - go. He once went as young, and now he is the real star. I want to repeat his way. And maybe surpass, " - Sergey Karasev . For Russian fans that make up the lion's share of our site audience, the first place in today's charts may only be held by one person. Congratulations to Ukrainian centering Alexis Leon, who had gone with this pick a number 5, and thus repeat the record of Jonas Valanciunas for basketball players from the former Soviet space. Just imagine what these guys could get 15 years in the national team ahead! By the way, the last starring in it would and son of the famous Russian Vasily Karasev playmaker. To him it make a career in the NBA and has not had a chance, but the talent is definitely allowed. So now let the boy try for two. luck, Sergey!
