Looks like "Little Mike" (#3) is getting some minutes over in the Netherlands. Also looks like a pretty nice environment to hone your playing skills. I hear the coffee shops are the place to celebrate after a big win. Also of note, "Big Mike" (Mike Ochereobia) is playing this year in France.

That's interesting. I've never heard of that tournament before. Just kinda like a semi-pro tournament of former college and other mostly non-NBA players?
