If Clifford Luyk (Syracuse, New York, 1941), the protagonist of the story this week of Teledeporte during Real Madrid game against Brose Basket German, would have asked for a place to travel to Europe after finishing his university studies in the United States might have chosen the old Czechoslovakia. From there they migrated towards the east coast of North America their parents in the late 30's seeking a better life. But this American with European roots was satisfied, like many others, Pedro Ferrandiz to join Real Madrid in 1962, and that decision changed the English basketball forever. Clifford
landed in Madrid with another fellow of considerable size and level of basketball, Burgess, with the mission to take another step up to Real Madrid this small, stubborn coach Alicante committed to go down in history of our sport. Ferrandiz had managed to play the year before the final of the European Cup with Emiliano Rodríguez as external stylus can be measured pound for pound the best players in the continent, and an American - Wayne Hightower - with kilos and enough talent to control the best big men in the competition. Out there know the title passing Ferrándiz European Cup and, therefore, when Hightower decided to return to the United States to enroll in professional racing, did not hesitate to return to the best-and then almost single-open international supermarket to redeem 2x1. A heavy and hard white center, Burgess, and a mixture of low-post power forward and most talented and mobile, the teen whose true passion was baseball, sports in which it was followed by the great scouts who wanted to turn it into a pitcher '(pitcher) in baseball. What
offer the bigs Ferrándiz Luyk Burgess and made to accept your orders? For surely this mix love and money in the right order and just proportion to, in the case of Clifford, finish transforming to a first-generation American immigrants in a English luxury. And the great Clifford accepted the challenge and the excellent player mus in him, returning to stake their peers and play havoc caused.
rest is part of a biography sports legend. Real Madrid won the European Cup that year, and he ended up convincing Pitcher to their country of adoption and mus-game, that basketball could be a good option in a small people rather than individuals provided that support in their shots 5 meters (compared to large stakes) in defensive rebounds and intimidation (órdago a girl in case), in their ability to read the game (in pairs if you take ...) and to score 35 points against a group of NBA players on a U.S. tour before the Olympic Games Mexico ... could not make the conference more heat to avoid damage to its battered knee! (... And of course, all matching!).
