Yuta Tabuse to play in the NBA
a son from the land of the rising sun is now a Sun.
hahaha. not witty enough? tsk tsk.
click here for article.
seriously now, we all know that this is really all about the marketing oppprtunities the Phoenix Suns organization can establish in Japan and the number of Tabuse Suns jerseys they will sell. Our very own Jimmy Alapag, who plays for Talk N' Text in the PBA, is better than this guy.
But i hope he succeeds nevertheless because that means we'll see a complete season of Suns games in the NHK BS1 channel. The same media coverage that Japanese baseball sensations Ichiro Suzuki of Seattle Mariners and Hideki Matsui of New York Yankees were given. That would be a real treat. And of course, give the guy a chance! It's not all the time an Asian is given a chance to play in the best league ever.
Just wait for the World Basketball Championships, Yuta! When BAP finally makes the PBA play in the ABC championships! Jimmy Alapag and/or Mike Cortez will come to play!

I've always thought that he bears great resemblance to Japanese cinema's resident godling Tadanobu Asano. I expect similar feats of inspired genius from Tabuse-san.

yeah! there's a striking resemblance except that yuta now sports this uber-funky hairstyle. it would be cool if he would sport this look in the NBA.
