fun fact...apparently former NBA journeyman, odd free-thrower and almost certainly robbery victim and muse for Biggie's "I Got a Story To Tell", Anthony Mason is a former Cocodrilo.

I hope he gets the hell out of Venezuela pretty soon.  Living in hyper-inflationary times is no bueno.

He actually looked happy.  Showing some emotion.  Having a good time. 

Good for Tony.

A) Man I love listening to Spanish sports announcers

B)  I can't believe they walked out on the floor to effectively end the game with a full thirty seconds left instead of stretching it out for a couple hours in a foul/free throw shooting fest.

He is probably a locker room cancer thats why they won.

From Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Mitchell_(basketball,_born_1992)

 He set school records for single season blocks (70) and blocks per game (3.04), while his single game top scoring and rebounding performances were 34 and 21, respectively.[5] Despite the team not qualifying for any postseason tournaments, Mitchell still received awards and honors for his personal play. He became just the second player in league history to earn three consecutive Sun Belt Player of the Week awards while also becoming just the third player to be named the league's freshman of the year and earn a first team all-conference selection simultaneously.[5] Mitchell was named to the All-2012 Sun Belt Conference Tournament team after leading the Mean Green to the championship game before losing to Western Kentucky, 74 to 70.[5] According to his North Texas player page, "In league-only games, Mitchell led the Sun Belt in scoring (15.9 ppg), rebounding (11.8 rpg), 3-point percentage (47.1), blocks (3.1 bpg), and was also second in field goal percentage (58.1)."[5] Mitchell had numerous 30-point, 15-rebound games during the season and became the first freshman since Kansas State's Michael Beasley in 2007–08 to record multiple 30/15 games.[5] For his standout season, he was named a finalist for the Lou Henson Award, an annual college basketball award given to the nation's best mid-major player.

Think he's in China now. I could see him being successful there and getting another shot.
