Rosie Walker was on the 1980 roster for Moscow Olympics that USA boycotted.

Think that would make Louw our first Olympian who actually got to compete.

Hope we get Walkup and many more in our future.

Olympics?

Yep. That's probably part of his goals. Our first Olympian?

Kylie Louw, South African. Played on their soccer team in the 2012 Olympics.

There might be others, but I know that one.

---

Louw is the one I know for sure.

Feel like this was mentioned before, but I think there might have been a WBB appearance or atleast a coach. Or maybe there was going to be for the Olympics that was boycotted.

Sue Gunter was supposed to be the coach in the 1976 Olympics if I remember correctly.

Close. Gunter was an assistant on the 1976 team. She was the head coach for the 1980 boycotted Olympics

Interesting snippet from Kerr when asked about facing Greece. Says they “held some things back, just like we did.” Could see some new stuff soon.

Also singled out Greece’s Thomas Walkup who got a nifty layup out of “Miami” action and drilled a couple of 3s in exhibition play. pic.twitter.com/yyJ7NqLGTa

Walkup scored 9 points with 7 assists in today's 109-81 loss by Greece to the USA.

Watch Walkup tomorrow (Wednesday) morning at 7:40 a.m. on ESPN+. Greece vs. New Zealand in the FIBA World Cup.

I know at this point we will never see Thomas in the NBA (still blows my mind) but I can never find contract info on him other than extension in years. Not trying to be nosey, but just wondering what kind of living he is making overseas?

I looked around Came up empty. What is it with European contracts…..

Max Greek league salary is 2.5 mil.

Avg salary is 60-250k per year. I did see one number from Walkup, secondary source, that said 560k per year in 2021.

Thank you sir! Looks like they always play in front of packed houses so it would seem they would make more than that!
