He shot pretty good in the video.
Bolomboy
- Thread starter homeytennis
- Start date
Things I learned from Googling today:
- Similar to Kuzma on the US, Bolomboy was recently cut from the Russian team and will not play in the World Cup due to ongoing foot problems.
- Despite being born in the Ukraine, Vladimir Putin conferred Russian nationality on Bolomboy to allow him to play for CSKA Moscow this past year. Apparently Bolomboy's mother is not ethnic Ukrainian, in spite of Joel's birthplace, but rather ethnic Russian.

Makes me wonder if Favors turned them down. Otherwise there is no explanation for why he isn’t on this team.
Apparently Bolomboy didn't set the world on fire this past year in CSKA Moscow.
He averaged less than 10 minutes and 3 pts per game in the team's Euroleague games, and under 13 minutes and 5 points per game overall (though the efficiency/production per minute was decent). Maybe it was partly a function of adapting to a new environment/team.
If he had been on the national team until the foot problems shut him down, he must have been doing something right, however. Hope he has a great year this coming season.

Here's a fun one: Bolomboy blocking Tibor Pleiss.

Bolomboy? Wish we could.
Here's a fun fact: Bolomboy was on our roster for one year and logged 53 minutes, at a cost of <$1M and occupying a roster spot that we turned into flexibility by waiving him. Bradley has been on our roster for two years and logged 65 minutes, at a cost of $3M and one roster spot presently occupied.
I know, I know. After all that Bradley has done for us.
Plus $1.9 million in cap space this offseason (could’ve signed Caruso while the Lakers were waiting for Kawhi for more money than they offered him between Bradley’s number and NWG).

There really isn't a clear demarcation between a lot of Ukrainians and Russians. Up until 20 years ago, they were the same country, essentially different state, with Russians moving there like someone in the United States might move to Texas. One day you wake up (in 1991) and Bam! you are now Ukrainian. It will take generations to sort out.
