Last time I wrote on here I think we were in 4th or 5th place and was really starting to improve as a team. Now we have won 7 of our last 8 games including the last two games against the #1 and #2 teams in the league. Both games were very tough and close games but we prevailed in the end. At the beginning of the season we just were unable to win on the road now we have some quality wins on the road and at home we have always been great. Individually I am still #1 in scoring and now #1 in assists. I try every single practice and every single game to make my teammates better and try to get them easy shots. I really notice the change in the defenses focusing on me even more now so I think my assists can go up even more, because my teammates have been playing great. We are in 3rd place, but it is a tight race and no one will know until the last regular season game how the playoffs will look like. We are looking to finish the last 6 games strong and be in a great rhythm for the playoffs and hopefully have home court advantage for the 1st two rounds. I don't think many people expected Handlova to be in the top 3 towards the end of the season so I am doing everything I can to continue to surprise people. We are heading into the cup games this week in Nitra and it should be fun as all of the teams will play and the Championship will be on the final day. They also have a 3point contest and dunk contest would should be a lot of fun.
I have to mention our fans and the fans in general in Slovakia. They are amazing! Everyone is so into the games, and cheers every single game. Ever since the 1st preseason game the fans were at the game and it was almost sold out so I knew they were special here. They chant your name, make signs and cheer hard every game. Some of them come to the practices so as a player that is great to see that appreciation. The derby game that we have against Prievidza is unbelievable and a blessing to get to play in a game like that. I wish every game was a derby/rivalry game. Fans are screaming at one another, the games are sold out completely, and they are there over an hour before the game. When I walk into the gym I have a tingling feeling all over my body and I am immediately ready to play. I have so much energy and anticipation built up inside , I wish it would never end. But this is the end of this blog, Ciao World!!!

One Journey Ends/ Another One Begins- Apr.30, 2012 (by Eurobasket Center)
Hello World the time has come, the season is finished. From my first blog, it was all about progression and that is what I feel we have done. This was by far the most rewarding season, I've experienced as a player. So much room to make excuses but still we don't allow ourselves to make one. In the beginning of the season no one thought we would be in the finals but we made it there. It was fun I enjoyed every minute of the competition [read more] | |
Hello World the time has come, the season is finished. From my first blog, it was all about progression and that is what I feel we have done. This was by far the most rewarding season, I've experienced as a player. So much room to make excuses but still we don't allow ourselves to make one. In the beginning of the season no one thought we would be in the finals but we made it there. It was fun I enjoyed every minute of the competition. There are always highs and lows to a season and as a player you never want to get caught on the emotional roller coaster of wins and loses. For me personally the goal is too be better every time you step on the floor.You learn what you can from each win or loss looking forward to improvement. As a team I am proud to say,every night we stepped on the floor to compete! This was a competitive group of guys, even in practice we didn't want to lose. I believe this is why we were able to achieve mild success. We Finished the season with the 1 overall seed, and a 12 game win streak. We entered the finals 6-0. Only to come up short losing 3-1. For me playing in the finals was a blessing. I enjoyed being on that stage.It was a good experience for me. The atmosphere was crazy in both teams gym. I also think the fans in Slovakia were entertained. It was a good environment to be playing. Last year was an early exit from title contention, this year we made it to the finals but came up short. I am being prayerful that I am able to compete for another championship in my career, I know winning is not promised. Getting to the Finals and coming up short, is a great motivation. I thank my teammates and Komarno staff and management for the opportunity I wish you all the best. I am blessed and thankful for the individual accolades I have received this season and winning a Silver medal is much better then going home with nothing. This was a good year for the Ball Club and individually I feel I have grown as a player and a professional. As this journey is complete: Slovakia 2k12, I salute those guys from Previdza on a great season as well. In a league where you have Euro Challenge team and a Czech team who new the Previdza, Komarno would be the last two teams standing. Congrats to you all.... Finally with this season over, it is time to prepare for next yr. There is work to be done, I don't want to feel the feeling of coming up short. Only Lord knows where I will end up next year if I am blessed enough to have a job doing what I love. All I can do is work. As I stated in earlier blogs players don't stay the same. We get better or we get worse. The summer is the time to get better because before we know it another season will be among us. The motto for the summer 'Be Ready Stay Ready'............... I won't waste your time any longer I'm sure we all have work to do, or areas to improve on. Thanks for the opportunity, thank you to the great fans in Slovakia. It has been a blessing. It has been fun. My last philosophical doctor Louis blog of the week.: Be proud of yesterdays history, because it surely has prepared you for tomorrows future.

Final Round- Apr.13, 2012 (by Eurobasket Center)
It's been a long great season and this is the part where every team wants to be at the end. Only two teams has made it this far and it comes down on who wants it more. We are going up against the #1 seed in our league. They are a great team and has been playing very well these past few months. They are very deep and have a lot of players who can put up numbers. This series is going to be based on who plays the better defense [read more] | |

We are going up against the #1 seed in our league. They are a great team and has been playing very well these past few months. They are very deep and have a lot of players who can put up numbers. This series is going to be based on who plays the better defense. We have been through two tough series and have been testes on our defense and we have came out successful in both series. It is a blessing to be playing for a championship, not too many players have this opportunity. Two great teams will be playing for a championship and I know both of the teams who made it wasn't picked to get this far. I know our fans in Prievidza has been waiting for this for a long time. The games are going to be in a great atmosphere for both teams fans so I am excited to get this opportunity. Hopefully in my next blog I will be writing on how we won a championship but until then let's see what happens.

FINALS!!!!!!!!- Apr.12, 2012 (by Eurobasket Center)
Hello world, long time no hear from. In my last blog the journey was just beginning the playoffs where just starting and the team and myself were eager to play. Thus far the playoffs have been interesting, yet very competitive. Although we swept the first two rounds 3-0 the games were competitive. All teams are fighting hard and feel the pressures of the playoffs. Prievidza is the team we will meet in the finals [read more] | |
Hello world, long time no hear from. In my last blog the journey was just beginning the playoffs where just starting and the team and myself were eager to play. Thus far the playoffs have been interesting, yet very competitive. Although we swept the first two rounds 3-0 the games were competitive. All teams are fighting hard and feel the pressures of the playoffs. Prievidza is the team we will meet in the finals. They are a very good team, the 2 seed, as they beat the Czech league Levice and Euro Challenge Nitra on the road to the finals. I am sure both teams are ready and focused to compete for a Gold medal. This finals series will be played at a high level. Both teams are very talented and deep and should make for an exciting atmosphere for the fans to be apart of. Nothing comes easy and its time work. Game 1 is 6 p.m Saturday evening be there or be square. I'm sure no one predicted these two teams to be playing for Gold at the start of the season (shout out to both coaches), but we're here showing how competitive this league is. It should be fun, so strap in and enjoy the ride... God bless, live life to the fullest and appreciate the moment.. Follow your boy twitter @BigLou_LJ .. Win lose or draw I will be back at the end of the journey. Lord willing with a Gold medal though.. Lets Go!!!!
