Tiago Splitter!

The NBA season is right around the corner, which means a new batch of rookies is ready to be unveiled. I just think that John Wall will win the ROY but I guess Tiago Splitter will be a contender. I've been watching him play in Brazil and he really is amazing inside the paint. I guess Pop should use him often so he'll learn from Tim Duncan too. On side note, I think he looks like Ashton Kutcher and Kyle Korver..


Tiago Splitter was drafted by the Spurs in 2007 with pick #28 (first round). Through a number of situations, Tiago and the Spurs decided it might have been best to allow him to develop overseas before he joined the NBA. When the Spurs drafted him, in the ACB he averaged 10.7 points, 6 rebounds in 29 minutes. During the 2009-2010 season, Tiago averaged 15.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, in the same amount of time of 29 minutes. He improved by 5 points and nearly 1 rebound.


I really enjoyed watching him in FIBA just like Rubio so I guess we'll have to see what they can bring in the NBA. I guess he is so ready to compete this time around.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides Teaser Trailer



Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is an upcoming 3-D fantasy action-adventure film. It is the fourth film in the Pirates of the Caribbean series, distributed by Walt Disney Pictures and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. The film was first announced in September 2008, and principal photography started in June 2010. Unlike the previous films, which were shot primarily on location in the Caribbean, On Stranger Tides had most of its production in Hawaii.

The plot draws inspiration from the novel On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers, with Captain Jack Sparrow, again played by Johnny Depp, searching for the Fountain of Youth and confronting the pirate Blackbeard. It is also first in the series to be directed by Rob Marshall and not Gore Verbinski.

The film is set to be released on May 20, 2011 in Disney Digital 3-D and IMAX 3-D, as well as in traditional two-dimensional and IMAX formats. It will be the first Pirates of the Caribbean film to be released in 3-D and Jerry Bruckheimer's second 3-D film, following the 2009 film G-Force.

I super can't wait!!!
