1 Series to a Title - Igokea & The Lugano Tigers Advance to the Playoff Finals in Bosnia & Switzerland!

(#4 Jamar Butler - KK Igokea - Bosnia)

5.12.2010 KK Igokea vs Siroki Ironet (Bosnian Finals -Game 1)

Jamar Butler is just one series away from wrapping up a long 2nd season of European Basketball. He was already in Cyprus by the beginning of October 2009 in preparation for the 09/2010 Greek League Season. Butler stayed with GS Olympia Larissa from the fall to Spring 2010 when he eventually joined KK Igokea (team) Aleksandrovac (location), one of the better teams in the Bosnia and Herzegovina League. The Guard's playing situation in Bosanski Aleksandrovac is quite different from Greece, where he started 15 games for Larissa. While the level of play in Bosnia is a step down from the Greek A1 League, Butler joins one of the top squads in Igokea with a bit of established depth. They start this guy (the green goblin) dude at PG, and will then look to another guard & Jamar for depth.

KK Igokea recently advanced to the Bosnian Playoff Finals following a 2-0 Series win over Bosna. S. Jamar received an increase of on court action (25 minutes) in Game 1 of the Semi-finals (May 1st). Butler had perhaps his best game with Igokea, leading the club with 16 points & 3 assists en route to a 85-73 victory. (hmm..more mins equals more productivity..seems like a simple foramula) Igokea would then survive a close Game 2 on May 5th to advance to the Playoff finals. (75-72, Butler contributed 7 points) Game of the finals begins on May 12th versus a club called Siroki Ironet.
