Besiktas sure knows how to make a splash. During the NBA lockout, the Turkish basketball team landed Deron Williams — the only NBA superstar who went overseas. With the NBA lockout now over, Williams is headed back to America to play for the New Jersey Nets.
But Besiktas isn’t done. Before Williams left, Besiktas retired his No. 8 jersey. Williams was touched by the move.
“Just had a great time with the fans for the last time at Besiktas Milingaz!” tweeted Williams, “Arena taking the team out for dinner! I’m going to miss them.”
While playing for Besiktas, Williams averaged nearly 20 points per game to go along with six and a half assists. Those numbers were apparently enough for Besiktas to retire his number after six weeks.

The Bernie Fine situation is getting weirder and weirder. Now, not only has his wife admitted to Bernie Fine being a child molester, there are rumors going around that there is a Laurie Fine sex tape in existence. Even better: the Laurie Fine sex video reportedly includes at least one ex-player who played basketball at Syracuse.
Wow.
The more digging is being done in Syracuse, the more weird stuff that is being discovered. First of all, Bernie Fine’s career as an assistant coach is over. Earlier today I explained that Jim Boeheim should be fired. If the Laurie Fine sex tape sees the light of day, that’s yet another reason Jim Boeheim should go.
The Fine’s obviously need a lot of help. And at least Bernie deserves to spend a lot of time behind bars. Let us hope that we’ve reached the end of the discovery phase … but I doubt we have.
Here’s a Laurie Fine picture. Would want to watch a Laurie Fine sex tape?
