Union Olimpija forward, Matt Walsh, is the latest entry in euroleague.net's group of bloggers. In his very first article he already caught the eye of readers, talking about Playmates, lots of beer, malakas, Dracula and more.
"First things first… My name is Matt Walsh: yes, I'm "that white guy with curly blonde hair and a headband", yes, I used to date a Playboy Playmate; and yes, my dad is John Walsh from America's Most Wanted…OK, that last part isn't true, but the first two are"
This is about how Matt Walsh introduces himself right in the first paragraph, only to later continue:
"Since leaving school in 2005, I've been fortunate enough to play all over the world. I've enjoyed mojitos (among other things) in South Beach (Miami Heat), marveled at ancient ruins, while occasionally being called a "malaka", in Greece (Olimpia Larisa), ate tapas in Spain (Manresa), drank a beer or two (thousand) in Belgium (Spirou Charleroi), and now I find myself playing for Union Olimpija in Slovenia. I have to be honest, when my agent came to me about playing in Slovenia, my first thought was, where is Slovenia? My friends and family were no help, in fact most of them gave me a response that went something like this: "Slovenia? Sounds like somewhere Dracula would live".
The guy who dated a Playmate (Lauren Anderson in case you're curious) also has some very nice things to say about Ljubljana and its female population:
"Everyone speaks English, the restaurants are great, the downtown is gorgeous, my apartment is perfect, and the women are gorgeous. (No, really, I've lived in Miami and Las Vegas, and these Slovenian women are GORGEOUS)".
I think the tourism of Slovenia just got a slight boost. Catch the full article here (links to euroleague official website).
