Deron Williams' jersey retired in Turkey

Clearly, the bar for basketball greatness isn't set too high in Turkey.

The farwell party today for Deron Williams proved that today, as his Besiktas team retired his No. 8 jersey after 15 games.

Seriously, 15 games.

LOL! Wow.

Those poor guys over there obviously haven't seen a whole lot of solid basketball play before.


This sort of reminds me, and I don't know why cause it's not really the same at all, of a book I read called Playing for Pizza about once promising NFL QB who goes over to Italy to play pro football there.

Actually it's quite a good read but anyway this made me think of that.

When it's all said and done, Derron Williams will have made a bigger impact in Turkey than he does for the New Jersey Nets.
