Fogg is a champion once again. 3x
Overseas Elite wins

Fogg getting paid again. So damn proud of that guy!

M.V.P. - again.

I know he's doing damn well overseas right now, but I'd love to see a team give him a shot in the league.

Great for him. He completely deserves every bit of it.

His China deal is only for 2 years. Maybe he'll give the NBA a go after it ends.

It's also not that much money, so if some team really wanted him they could buy it out.

I'm not sure I would want to trade the overseas salary for what Fogg's NBA future would be. He would be a fringe guy and likely spend a decent amount of D League time. Make millions overseas or bench/D League here...it makes more future sense to take the sure money overseas.

The exception would be if an NBA team was ready to really commit some money. If he got a guarantee, yeah, make that jump. I'm just not thinking he's there yet.

Foggyyyy!! Made my day!

Agreed with this. Fogg has carved out a nice presence overseas, and I'm just not sure he would really stick in the NBA. We forget that he's only 6'3, and knowing he'd be a 3 and D guy, I just think NBA teams would rather take a chance on a taller, longer guy for that role. There's a big different in athleticism between Tier 2 overseas/TBT and the NBA.

Way to go Foggy.

To start, Foggy was hardly a D-1 recruit. He might make what 5-10M playing foreign ball. F the league. Hate it anyway. Foggy is a cat, a damn fine cat. As good as any of those in the league IMO.

Now with the Guangzhou Long-Lions (just played an exhibition game vs. the Wiz. . .26 pts, 3 boards, 11 assists, 1 TO. . .http://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=400980091" target="_blank

Thanks for reminding this was on. Fun tournament to watch. Fogg has been the MVP the last two years too.

Up to 33 now. He's torching the ex-Marquette guys.

Gonna be a 3rd straight MVP for him. It seems so effortless too. Every time I watch them play, I'm thinking "man he must only have like 10 points tonight." Then he hits a couple threes, and they show he's got like 28.

I think i like the end of game format.

It sure cuts down on all those last minute fouls and makes players actually play basketball - on both ends.

I do too. I'm not 100% if I'd be ready to see the NBA or NCAA change so much, but it is perfect for TBT.

Fogg's team wins it again. Four in a row.

Congrats Foggy!

It must be just about time to rename the tourney to "The Fogg's Cup" like they renamed the original Isle of Wight yacht challenge to "The America's Cup" after the dominance of the yacht America in that race.

Why isn't he getting a sniff in the NBA?

Dude deserves a shot

He worked out for 3 teams this summer, but he probably doesn’t want it. He’s making 7 figures tax free in China, with hardly any expenses, or he could be the 11th guy on a roster making less.

Not exactly tax free. Anybody working in China better have a very competent accountant - the tax laws for expats are pretty complicated.

Bi round of applause, Foggy!!!
