Description: Expatriate Games by David Fromm Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Fromm tells the touching and amusing story of the year he spent playing basketball for a Czech semi-pro team. The author chronicles his struggles and describes how the team ultimately came together and the invaluable life lessons he learned as a result of his experience abroad. Publisher Description When Dave Fromm graduated from college with good grades and high LSAT scores, he planned to apply to law school. But he actually wasnt that sure he wanted to go, at least not right away. A few years earlier, hed been to Prague for a vacation and played a game of pickup basketball there. He was a decent basketball player, though not good enough to make the team at Boston College either time hed tried out. So he did the kind of thing wed all do if we had the guts (and a foolhardy sense of determination)-he moved to Prague to play basketball, even though he didnt speak Czech, or know anyone in Prague, or if the Czechs had basketball leagues there, much less professional leagues, still less if they let foreigners play.Expatriate Games is Dave Fromms touching and amusing memoir of the year (1994) he spent playing basketball for TJ Sokol Krlovsk Vinohrady, a Czech semi-pro team. Throughout, Fromm, a self-proclaimed "gym-rat," struggles with his teammates, the European style of play, and the language barrier. But miraculously, Fromm describes how, despite the struggles, the team came together, a girl appeared, and he was introduced to a side of Prague most foreigners cant see-a Prague full of ghosts and back alleys and a people simultaneously embracing and reeling from transition.
