After 11 seasons in Europe Jorge Garbajosa it arrived at Toronto Raptors, when filing like free agent in July of the 2006. From its arrival to Toronto Garbajosa it has contributed experience, leadership and hardness to the equipment. It was chosen as inexperienced of the month in December of the 2006 and will be one of the international players who will participate in the duel between novices and players of second year during the weekend of the Game of Stars. I will remember it for a long time Published by Jorge Garbajosa February 16 of the 2007 8:25 p.m. It was a very different game, where almost there is no physical contact and everything is very instinctive. It always hurts to me to lose and by so many points, 40 in this case because me jode. But I will remember it for a long time does not matter that there are lost by beating. It seemed to me a pretty duel with many nailed for the spectacle of the public. By my qualities as player I do not fit very well in this type of games. The prize is for me and all to have the honor to be part of this game. I go away contented and I am going to continue enjoying this weekend in the Fertile valleys that until now begins. My training with the novices Published by Jorge Garbajosa February 16 of the 2007 4:27 p.m. Today we rose early to train, we were with the group of novices makes an educative center created by Andre Agasi. They finished constructing a beautiful field of basketball that was inaugurated after our training. He surprised to me that the own Agasi arrived to take control of the inauguration. The training were approximately 200 boys observing from the tribunes. It was a training with offensive and defensive basic movements. It is pleasant to train with this team of talented young people. Soon we were awhile in the field to more take care of the questions of all it mass media. One of them did a peculiar question to me on my new look. Since days ago I shaved my beard. It asked to me if the beard had cleared me to shine like a novice. I could not stop to laugh, that rather seemed a joke of some of my teammates. andrea Barganini was besieged by many journalists, I believe that he was the one that more journalists it around had to his. The inauguration ceremony was simple Chirs Paul, Rudy Gay and Andre Agasi cut the ready one to make official the field. All the boys of the school who supported to us with their shouts in training recited a hymn when finalizing the event. In few hours my paper in this show of the All-Star begins. I hope to be able to have a good game, will be one pretty night. Until the next one The show in Fertile valleys began Published by Jorge Garbajosa February 15 of the 2007 8:15 p.m. Andrea Bargnani, Chris Bosh and I arrived in afternoon at Fertile valleys. I never had been in this city thus what I more please me when lowering of the airplane was the climate. By this time in long ago cold Toronto and most of states also the climate he is not very pleasant here by the winter, so I cannot complain because here he is as if we were in summer. In afternoon I left to know several hotels like Cesar Palace and the Belagio, all these hotels are impressive. When returning to the hotel we saw that already there was much people, players, trainers and there is no a place where they are not posters of stars of Liga. Towards the 6 afternoon we were yet the group of novices and players of second year for the meeting. Many of them like Adam Morrison, Brandon Roy or Rudy Gay approached to salute to me and to congratulate to me to be there. He was pleasant to be surrounded by all these talented and young players. The future promises of the league were there. When leaving I was with trainer Mike D'Antoni, who I salute to us with much joy, we crossed a pair of words in Italian and soon also we saluted to I landed on water Stoudemire and Steve Nash. It is very different to be with players and trainers in an atmosphere outside the field. They are all very pleasant people and they make you feel his respect. Tonight I will leave to eat with some Spanish journalists who came to cover the event and descasaré enough because we must train to first hour of Friday. Until the next one. Ready for a new experience Published by Jorge Garbajosa February 13 of the 2007 3:39 p.m. We are to less than three days so that all the events of the Game of Stars begin. Soon of the game as opposed to the Nets (Wednesday 14 of February), Andrea (Bargnani) and I will travel course to Fertile valleys. So far single I think about the game as opposed to New Jersey since we played in house and is a good opportunity to continue leading the division. Thursday 15 of February already from Fertile valleys we have programmed a meeting with all the participants (players and technical body) of the T-Mobile Rookie Challenge in the hours of afternoon. Friday to first hour the group of novices will be the training yet. It will be our first and only moment to know us between all and to prepare some plays. After the practice with the equipment, we will be surrounded in the field by the national and international press. I believe that I am the only player who speaks Spanish of all the group so I imagine that the Latin means and of Spain will be there accompanying to me. It will be one pretty experience. In afternoon we will already have to list suitcases to go towards the stage "Thomas & Mack Sand". The game begins to the 6:00 p.m. hour of Fertile valleys (9:00 p.m. hour of the East of the United States). As of this Thursday 15 of February I hope to be able to give another report to them through this blog to tell everything them what occurs in this great celebration of the Game of Stars of the NBA from Fertile valleys. Until the next one. A great recognition Published by Jorge Garbajosa January 31 of the 2007 4:12 p.m. Hello, from today I want to share with you my experiences during my first year in the NBA with Toronto Raptors. Today the day began of the best form when knowing the news that it was going to represent my equipment in the "Rookie Challenge" of the Game of Stars in Fertile valleys. I feel very contented with the news of my participation in the duel of novices against players of second year. It is a great recognition on the part of the league and goes to be very pretty to be able to represent my equipment and my country in this great event. So far I do not think much about which will be that game because treatment to concentrate much in the game of my equipment every night. So so far most important it is to continue working to gain victories and to help this tax exemption to arrive far. In any case it is an honor to be part of the weekend of the Game of Stars. This will be the first time that travels to Fertile valleys, so it will be a very interesting experience by where you want it to see. Memory when it saw by TV the aid of you kill (dunks) when Michael Jordan and Dominique Wilkins disputed them and was very difficult to know that was the best one. Also memory the rivalry between Jordan and Magic Johnson when they faced in this game. He will be very pleasing to count on Andrea Bargnani in the team of novices. I believe that people in Toronto are very contented with our yield in the equipment. The truth I do not pay much attention to the statistics, always after each game I feel the work that contributed to the equipment so treatment not to compare my yield with the one of other weeks. In this league you must concentrarte in the game of every night and more give the best thing of you like player whenever these in the field. All in the equipment have congratulated to us by this recognition. I want to enjoy that moment and also for helping the team of novices to gain the game, since historically the players of second year always have dominated the duel. Speaking of the regular season, I believe that the equipment has improved much, we followed along with in the dispute of the first place of the division New Jersey. They are lost three games in the last seconds. But we must focus in us and not in them. We must try to continue gaining more games and to fight until the end by fitted to the postemporada one.

Today in the morning I had to attend several events in the Jam Session that is the great fair of basketball organized by the NBA. Towards the 11 in the morning I was part of the official announcement of the league for Europelive 2007. The best thing of everything is than this year my equipment the Raptors we will play in Spain. He is everything to return to be able to return to my country the people of the equipment yet. When you live outside your country the things are more difficult mainly not to have near your friend and your family. So for my he will be a little while special. To not only play in house but to be part of this movement around basketball that develops the NBA in Europe. Also we are going to play in Rome as opposed to the Celtics of Boston and to PalaLottomatica, in Madrid we will play as opposed to Real the 11 of October. That same day and in the same scene (Palace of Sports of the Community) the Memphis de Pau Students OR will entrentarán themselves with MMT. Immediately after the reception I went towards the Latin Center to dictate a clinic of basketball for the Hispanic children. He is very interesting to be able to teach the bases of basquet to the children. They learn everything very fast, in addition that these motivating so that they continue practicing the sport. I am waiting for the events of Saturday at night. Memory that when he was young saw always these nailed aids of with my father. I imagine that to see them live he goes to be spectacular. These are my predictions for tonight:

Aid of nailed: Gerald Green
Aid of triples: Dirk Nowitki
Aid of abilities: LeBron James
Star Launchings: Chicago Bulls

LOLOLOL, those are what the events should be called!

FYI, "team" and "equipment" seem to be an issue, either for the language, or for the translator. I think every time it says "equipment" it means team.
