| Last weekend, the NBA draft took place overseas. As expected, guard LeBron James, an 18-year-old basketball player who is called the heir to Michael Jordan, was chosen first. He went to the Cleveland Cavaliers and will wear number 23. The decisions of the Detroit Pistons and Denver Nuggets were equally predictable. The Detroiters chose Serbian center Darko Milicic with the second pick, and the Denverites got forward Carmelo Anthony.
At the last moment, two Russians also showed up for the draft. However, neither Sergei Toporov from Samara CSK-VVS, nor Ilya Alexandrov from Dynamo Maikop were among the 58 drafted basketball players. Konstantin IVANOV
