Random YouTube Magic: Sarunas, Lithuania's God of Song - FanHouse - AOL Sports Blog

I don't know nearly as much about international ball as some of my colleagues; I had to get Ziller to tell me that this is from Lithuania's 2003 EuroBasket title. But I do recognize Sarunas Jasikevicius, and I know American Idol-caliber talent when I see it. He doesn't just sing with all his might--he connects with the audience, mugs for the camera, and just generally makes you want to fly. Maybe he and the Warriors couldn't see eye-to-eye on basketball, but they could've used him as their resident troubadour.

In other news, this is why Dick Vitale was so wary of Euros. They do stuff like this, or jock David Hasselhoff. They will never belong in this league, even once they take the whole thing over and all our stars are playing in Italy.
