1995 collegiate All-American and former UMass standout Lou Roe couldn’t quite stick in the NBA, but he was able to take his game overseas. As he dribbles in front of some beautiful Italian scenery, we’re left to realize that can be a number of draws to playing professional ball in Europe. — Adam Fleischer

Looks kinda Asian or Mongolian, either way I’m feeling it. And how tall is he, cuz this shot dwarfs him.

Not to disagree with you, but he is wearing his Caja San Fernando jersey, and that is a team from Seville (Spain). Can I assume that is not Italy?

that pic MUST be from SPAIN, not Italy!!! Lou is wearing a Caja San Fernando’s jersey, a team from Seville, Spain. So I guess this is in Spain. So it should be SPAIN 4 LIFE!! oh, yeah, I’m spanish, and Lou is playing now in my hometowns team. Just saw him the other night at a New Year’s Eve party. Dude is big, I can tell you
