In basketball, they say you have to put your body on the line. Some players took this a bit too literally and added their teeth to the toll. Elbows, awkward falls, and collisions with teammates have created stories that sent the protagonists straight from the hardwood to the dentist — sometimes with a brief detour […]
Panathinaikos’ roster is looking for its final backcourt piece. SKWEEK opens the NBA files and scans the options, at a time when the European talent pool seems to have dried up.
