Dance the Night Away, Ersan!

A friend of mine was out with a bachelorette party on Saturday. Later on in the evening, she and the gang stopped by Eve's, a Milwaukee dance club popular amongst the Bucks. She told me she met two tall white guys who played for the Bucks. She said she spoke with one of them, and that he was the "number two pick" in the draft.

That made no sense. The Bucks haven't drafted number two in quite some time, if ever. I deduced she meant that this player was a second round pick. I asked "Was he European"? She said he had a funny name. After she nursed her hangover a little longer, she remembered that she had pictures. She showed me. It was none other than Ersan Illyasova, that swinging Turk! He looked well-medicated, too. I wish I would have had her download the picture onto my computer so I could show it to you, but it was Sunday and there was football to be watched, so my mind was elsewhere.

The other guy turned out to be Bogut. I hope he wasn't doing much rug cutting, what with his injury and all. I don't begrudge Ersan a few cocktails and a little socializing, he had a nice game on Saturday against the Nuggets.

By the by, she says she hooked up with the Bucks video coordinator. I have no idea who that is, but as I was reading an account of Saturday's exhibition in Sunday's Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, I mockingly said to her "It says here everyone on the roster scored last night, including the video coordinator!" She found that only mildly amusing.
