B. Jennings speaks to Rome media, we translate
Here’s a video of Brandon Jennings speaking through an interpreter to the media in Rome. Though his interpreter did a great job (we think, hell we don’t really know) of getting Jennings’ point across to the media, she didn’t touch on what he really said. That’s where TSC comes into play. We cracked open up our Jennings-to-Reality dictionary and have decoded what he really said.
The reason why I chose to come here is because, you know, I wanted to develop. You know, a lot of kids who come overseas, they play, they’re always developing, they’re always ready. They always fit in, you know, in the NBA. So I feel like this is the perfect opportunity for me.
Translation: Since I couldn’t qualify academically to play Division I basketball for one of the elite programs in the nation, I had three options: Play junior college basketball, become a spokesman for McDonald’s or play overseas. With that in mind, it’s true that I will be playing professionally against some guys that will prepare me for the NBA.
I talked to Coach. He said come in and listen and he said they’ll teach me all the things to do.
Translation: I’m just gonna play ball.
