Australia
Australia (
/əˈstreɪljə/), officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is a country in the Southern Hemisphere comprising the mainland of the Australian continent as well as the island of Tasmania and numerous smaller islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. It is the world's sixth-largest country by total area. Neighbouring countries include Indonesia, East Timor and Papua New Guinea to the north; the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and New Caledonia to the north-east; and New Zealand to the south-east.
For at least 40,000 years before European settlement in the late 18th century, Australia was inhabited by indigenous Australians, who belonged to one or more of roughly 250 language groups. After discovery by Dutch explorers in 1606, Australia's eastern half was claimed by Great Britain in 1770 and settled through penal transportation to the colony of New South Wales from 26 January 1788. The population grew steadily in subsequent decades; the continent was explored and an additional five self-governing Crown Colonies were established.

Serbia
Serbiai/ˈsɜrbiə/, officially the Republic of Serbia (Serbian: Република Србија / Republika Srbija, pronounced [rɛpǔblika sř̩bija]), is a landlocked country located at the crossroads of Central and Southeast Europe, covering the southern part of the Carpathian basin and the central part of the Balkans. Serbia borders Hungary to the north; Romania and Bulgaria to the east; the Republic of Macedonia to the south; and Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro to the west; additionally, it borders Albania through Kosovo, whose status as part of Serbia is disputed. Serbia covers an area of 88,361 km2 and has a population of just over 7.1 million, while the capital and largest city is Belgrade.
The arrival of the Serbs to the Balkans in the 7th century, established several states, eventually forming the Serbian Empire in the 14th century. By the 16th century, Serbia was conquered and occupied by the Ottoman Empire, at times interrupted by the Habsburgs. In the early 19th century the Serbian revolution re-established the country as the region's first constitutional monarchy, which subsequently expanded its territory and pioneered the abolition of feudalism in the Balkans. The former Habsburg crownland of Vojvodina united with Serbia in 1918. Following World War I, Serbia formed Yugoslavia with other South Slavic peoples which existed in several forms up until 2006, when the National Assembly of Serbia declared independence and the legal succession to the former State Union. In February 2008 the parliament of UNMIK-governed Kosovo, Serbia's southern province, declared independence, with mixed responses from international governments.

Roy Hibbert
Roy Denzil Hibbert (born December 11, 1986) is a Jamaican-American professional basketball player for the Indiana Pacers of the NBA. He plays at the center position, and graduated from Georgetown University in 2008. He was drafted 17th overall in the 2008 NBA Draft by the Toronto Raptors and was immediately traded to the Pacers on draft night. He has represented the Jamaican national team in international competition; he is eligible because his father was originally from Jamaica. On February 9, 2012, Hibbert was selected to his first All-Star Game as a reserve for the Eastern Conference.
Roy Hibbert was born in Queens, New York to Roy, Sr. and Patty Hibbert. His father is originally from Jamaica and his mother from Trinidad. The family moved to Adelphi, Maryland when Roy was 2. Around that time, the New York Post states that his parents introduced him to basketball after they had "tried to get him to play tennis, then golf, then the piano."
Hibbert attended Georgetown Prep in North Bethesda, Maryland. The team was coached by Dwayne Bryant, who had attended Georgetown University as a varsity basketball player. Bryant introduced the still-awkward Hibbert to the GU campus. Hibbert helped make Georgetown Prep's Little Hoyas co-champions of the Interstate Athletic Conference in 2004. Since Roy is an avid Pokémon fan, his teammates would often say, "Power up, big fella," to help him play harder.

Pro career[link]
In the 2007–08 NBL season, Jawai averaged 17.26 points per game, 9.39 rebounds per game and 1 block per game in 30 minutes and shot 57% from the field, making him second in the league. His NBL career-high for points is 28, rebounds 18, and blocks is 3. He was drafted 41st overall in the 2008 NBA Draft by the Indiana Pacers; however, his rights were traded to the Toronto Raptors in a deal that also brought Jermaine O'Neal to Toronto for T. J. Ford, Rasho Nesterović, Maceo Baston, and the Raptors' 17th pick in the 2008 NBA Draft who turned out to be Roy Hibbert.[1][2]
Soon after the trade the Raptors announced they had signed Jawai to a two-year deal on 11 July 2008.[1]
Nicknamed the "Aussie Shaq", "Outback Shaq", and "Baby Shaq" due to his resemblance to Shaquille O'Neal,[3] Jawai claims to not like the nicknames or comparisons to O'Neal.[4] He was also nicknamed by Toronto commentators 'Big Nate'.[5]
On 17 December 2008, Jawai was cleared to resume training after enduring a worrisome period in which he was not allowed to undergo physical activity. Jawai was required to 'rest', due to a routine pre-season test which revealed a cardiac abnormality.[6]

Early years[link]
Westbrook was born in Long Beach, California to parents Russell and Shannon Horton. He has one younger brother, Raynard, and has said that he admires former Los Angeles Lakers great Earvin "Magic" Johnson.[1] Westbrook was a childhood friend of Khelcey Barrs, a talented young small forward who had been attracting interest from major college basketball schools as a 6-foot-6, 200 pound high school sophomore. However, Barrs collapsed and died after playing a series of late night basketball games in 2004.
Westbrook entered Leuzinger High School as an unheralded 5-foot-8, 140-pound freshman with size 14 shoes, not starting on the varsity team until his junior year.[2] He did not receive his first college recruiting letter until the summer before his senior year. Westbrook eventually reached his adult height at 6'3" that same summer.[3][4]
He led the team to a 25–4 overall record and to a CIF-SS Div. I-AA quarterfinal playoff appearance during his senior year. He averaged 25.1 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.1 steals and 2.3 assists. He also connected on 57 three-pointers and made 76.0 percent of his free throws. He collected 14 double-doubles, scored 30 or more points on eight occasions and registered a career-best 51 points at Carson on January 6, 2006. He did not attract too much attention from top college basketball programs until Ben Howland offered him a scholarship to play for the UCLA Bruins after Jordan Farmar declared for the NBA Draft.
College[link]
In his two years of playing for the UCLA Bruins, Westbrook wore number 0. In his freshman year Westbrook backed up Darren Collison and was primarily used as a defender and energy player off the bench due to his athleticism and lack of passing and shooting skills. In his freshman year Westbrook averaged 3.4 points, 0.8 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 36 games. After Darren Collison was injured, Westbrook's role on the team expanded. Westbrook saw his minutes increase significantly, and he finished the season playing in 39 games, starting in 34 of them. In the year Westbrook averaged 12.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.6 steals. The team advanced to the Final Four each year, losing to Florida in 2007, 76–66. In the game, Westbrook played 8 minutes, scoring two points. In 2008, they lost 78–63 to the University of Memphis, who were led by Derrick Rose, Chris Douglas-Roberts and Joey Dorsey. In the game, Westbrook scored 22 points, to go along with 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.[5] At UCLA, Westbrook played basketball with several NBA players. In his sophomore year Westbrook was named All-Pac-10 Third Team and won Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year. At UCLA, Westbrook played with Kevin Love, who was also his roommate, as well as Darren Collison, Arron Afflalo and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute. After two years at UCLA, Westbrook decided to enter his name in the 2008 NBA draft.

On March 2, 2009 Westbrook recorded a triple double with 17 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. He was the first rookie to do so since Chris Paul in the 2005–06 season, and the third rookie player in Sonics/Thunder franchise history: Art Harris 1968–69 and Gary Payton in 1990–91.[12] He finished fourth in the 2008/09 NBA Rookie of the Year voting[13] behind Derrick Rose (Chicago Bulls), O. J. Mayo (Memphis Grizzlies) and Brook Lopez (New Jersey Nets). Westbrook was named to the NBA's all-rookie first team, along with fellow UCLA classmate Kevin Love, who was named to the second team.

During the season Westbrook averaged 16.1 points, 8.0 assists, and 4.9 rebounds. Westbrook became a significantly better passer; his improvement in the passing department was instrumental in the Thunder's turnaround. The Thunder were eliminated by the eventual world champion Los Angeles Lakers. In the series Westbrook stepped up his play, averaging 20.5 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. Westbrook and the Thunder looked to improve on a impressive, successful second season. On November 26, 2010, Westbrook scored 43 points against the Indiana Pacers.[14] Westbrook was chosen as a Western Conference reserve for the 2011 NBA All-Star Game.[15] Westbrook finished the season improving in just about every statistical category, averaging 21.9 points, 8.3 assists, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.9 steals. Westbrook was named to the All-NBA Second Team for his strong year. The Thunder finished the season at 55–27, eventually losing to the eventual world champion Dallas Mavericks.

Ater Majok (pronounced Ah-TARE Mah-jook) (born July 4, 1987) is an Australian professional basketball player who was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2011 NBA Draft with the 58th overall pick in the 2nd round.

High School / College[link]
Ater Majok was born in South Sudan in 1987. He migrated to Sydney Australia through a refugee camp in Egypt. Upon arrival in Sydney, he bonded with a group of young men from South Sudan, called the South Stars basketball team.[1]
He attended high school at St Aloysius' College in Sydney, New South Wales, Parramatta Marist High School in Sydney and the American International School in Carlingford, New South Wales where he graduated in 2008.
After graduating, he committed to the University of Connecticut. He sat out during the 2008–09 basketball season because he was not cleared to play by the NCAA.[2] Majok joined the UConn roster in the second semester of the 2008-09 season and became eligible for action at the conclusion of the Fall semester in 2009 and had freshman eligibility.
When the season was over he declared for the 2009 NBA Draft but did not sign with an agent.[3] About a week before the draft he decided to withdraw his name and to return to UConn.
On 20 December 2009, Majok made his debut with the Huskies.[4] He scored one point and collected three rebounds in 16 minutes of action as a starter.
In September 2010, Ater Majok announced that he was leaving Connecticut, though the reasons as to why remain unclear.[5] In all he played 26 games for the Huskies, averaging 2.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game.[6]
Professional career[link]
After leaving the Huskies, Majok signed professionally with FMV Isikspor Istanbul, a 2nd-division Turkish club. He played 7 games for them, averaging 13.9 points, 8.6 rebounds and 3.1 blocks in 28.3 minutes.[7]
On the 23 December 2010, it was announced that Majok signed a six-week contract to cover for the injured Jesse Wagstaff and Matthew Knight with the Perth Wildcats in the NBL.[8] He was benched mid-way through his stint in Perth for failing to attend a team meeting and once his short term contract was up he was released by the Wildcats. Majok played in 8 games for the defending NBL champions where he averaged 7.5 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2 blocks per game. Despite only having a short stint in Perth, Majok became a favourite amongst the Wildcats fans with due to his shot blocking ability, blocking a total of 11 shots in his first three games.
After his 8 game stint in Perth, Majok then signed with another NBL team, the Gold Coast Blaze as a replacement for injured Aussie Boomers player Mark Worthington.[9] He appeared in 6 games for the Blaze where he averaged 2.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.7 blocks per game.
On March 22, 2011, just days before the Gold Coast's final home game of the 2010-11 NBL season against the Adelaide 36ers, Majok was released by the club so that he could advance his preparations and seek out training-camp opportunities in the US prior to the 2011 NBA Draft in June. He was the 58th pick of the 2011 NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Lakers.[10]
During the NBA lockout, Majok will be playing in Slovakia for BK SPU Nitra.[11]
Los Angeles Lakers[link]
On 23 June 2011, Majok was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association in the 2011 NBA Draft with the 58th overall pick.
Majok's cousin, Majok Majok, had committed to play college basketball for Fairfield under head coach Ed Cooley. Majok also considered Colorado, Alabama, Oklahoma, UTEP, Valparaiso, Oregon, Saint Louis, Penn State, Georgia Tech and Boston College before deciding on the Stags.[12] It was announced in September 2010, however, that he had failed to academically qualify.[13]

Fenton Pete Mickeal (born February 22, 1978, in Rock Island, Illinois, USA) is an American professional basketball player who was selected by the Dallas Mavericks in the second round (58th pick) in the 2000 NBA Draft. He currently plays with the pro club FC Barcelona.
Contents |
High School, College, and the NBA[link]
Mickeal attended Rock Island High School, the same school attended by former NBA player and coach Don Nelson. In two full seasons of varsity basketball, Mickeal broke the school's all-time scoring record. He then played for two years as a small forward with Indian Hills Community College before transferring his junior year to play at Cincinnati. As a sophomore at Indian Hills C.C., he was named National Junior College Player of the Year after leading the team to its second straight national championship. After two productive seasons in Cincinnati, being named an Honorable Mention All-American by Associated Press as a senior, Mickeal entered the 2000 NBA Draft. After being drafted by the Dallas Mavericks, he participated in training camp with them. He never played for them in an actual game. His contract was waived but he was soon signed as a free agent by the New York Knicks. He was on the injured reserve his entire time as a Knick and was waived later in the season.
American Basketball Association[link]
After his unsuccessful run in the NBA, Mickeal went on to have great success in the ABA with the Tampa Bay ThunderDawgs, and particularly the Kansas City Knights. Leading the Knights to a 32–5 record in 2002, Mickeal's team won that year's championship and he was awarded the league MVP award.[1]
International[link]
After the 2002 season in the ABA, Mickeal signed with the Talk 'N Text Phone Pals team of the Philippine Basketball Association. He led his team to the league championship and was the league's top scorer on his first season. In 2002–03, he drew attention one last time from the NBA, being signed to a practice-squad contract with the Houston Rockets before being waived a week later.
He returned overseas in 2004, this time playing in the Greek League for Peristeri and later Makedonikos, with a brief 2004 interlude in the Russian Superleague A with Dynamo Moscow. In 2005, he moved to the Spanish League with Breogán. After a season there, he went to the South Korean League for the 2006–07 season, playing with Daegu Orions, before returning to Spain with TAU Cerámica. In 2009, he signed with FC Barcelona.[2] This season Mikeal at starting small forward helped FC Barcelona win the 2010 Euroleague Basketball Championship.
