Tonight was the second night of the regular season in the NBA. Just another opening night to most people, but no, not tonight. To your right, you see the very first Japanese player in the NBA checking into his very first NBA game for the Phoenix Suns. It was a historic night indeed. Not only did Tabuse record his first minutes, he knocked down his first 3 pointer and went on to score 7 in 10 minutes trash time against the woeful Hawks. Tabuse caused a stir a year ago when he joined the Denver Nuggets training camp, yet he was cut just before the season started. This man is only 24 years old, about 5'8. I've seen him a few times on the highlights, and he is tremendously fast. Nike has a commercial on TV here in Japan right now showcasing him, if I get a chance, I want to record it. Once Nash goes out with spasms this year, we can look forward to Tabuse lighting it up every night.
