FIRST QUESTION.


Anthony Chicago Illinois: Are there any advantages to playing over in Europe as opposed to the NBA?

Paul Shirley: (3:04 PM ET ) 1. Good wine is cheaper here. 2. I actually get to play. 3. I constantly get to see uncircumcised dudes in the shower.



LOL same ole Paul.

LMAO Second Question:

Mike (Yonkers, NY): What would you say is the biggest difference between locker room culture in the NBA and in Spain?

Paul's Answer:

Paul Shirley: (3:04 PM ET ) See above.


This guy is a riot.

Chris (Valencia, CA): Here's a better question on Kobe, then: why does it seem that all the players in the NBA simultaneously respect and loathe him? Is he really that bad a guy?

Paul Shirley: (3:49 PM ET ) Biggest douche I've ever met.

I guess that answers the question I have always had about Kobe Bryant. If Paul Shirley can't get along with you.... you must have problems.

Sam (Oklahoma City): Paul, do you keep in touch with any of your old college teammates, like Fizer or Tinsley or anyone?

Paul Shirley: (4:01 PM ET ) Actually, Marcus is in Spain. We play his team the last game of the year. Hopefully he does not injure me....In other ISU news (again, obscure), we play my old teammate Martin Rancik on Thursday. And Jackson Vroman plays for a team on the Canary Islands, as well. Oh, and no, I don't stay in touch with Jamaal. We weren't close.
