We recently won our first big trophy of the season, the Spanish Cup (Copa del Rey - King's Cup) against Real Madrid, but I still haven't opened that bottle of Moët & Chandon I got when we had Secret Santa back in Christmas... I'm waiting for something bigger to ... http://blogs.hoopshype.com/blogs/mickeal/2010/03/01/what-a-week/ Hi everybody! Just got home after a hard practice. It was one of the first ones after losing for the first time in 26 games. We lost on a last-second shot against Valencia. It is the way it is. We didn't play at the beginning of the game and those results ... http://blogs.hoopshype.com/blogs/mickeal/2010/01/26/streak-over/ Hi again people, It's been a busy week for me in Barcelona. Like in the NBA, we don't take any breaks here for Christmas. Had practice on Christmas Day...

I'm feeling well after recovering from the flu. We're back on top of the ACB standings and as I blog this, I'm waiting to play Zalgiris in the Euroleague.

Tough game the other day at Fuenlabrada. It's always gonna be tough there. Last year, when I played with Baskonia, we lost. That team plays with so much energy at home. They fight till the end and they play particulary well at home. Also, we beat my former team last ... http://blogs.hoopshype.com/blogs/mickeal/2009/11/20/jennings-is-a-sophomore/ Hi everybody! Things started really good this season! I had a career-high 26 points in the Euroleague as my team FC Barcelona won in Istanbul against Fenerbahce Ulker. My last scoring record was in a game played in Istanbul too! Hey, maybe they get smart and sign me or something... Just joking. ... http://blogs.hoopshype.com/blogs/mickeal/2009/11/02/the-good-life/ Hi everybody, It's getting close to the start of training camp. I'm so excited! Before that happens, I'm going to tell you a tale about my first few years in Europe. The tough times when I had to build my career. A lot of difficult experiences like, for example, not getting paid ... http://blogs.hoopshype.com/blogs/mickeal/2009/08/11/good-times-bad-times/ Hi everybody! I love it here in Miami. Sailing on my boat, going fishing... But I'm eager to start the season with my new team Regal Barcelona! I think we'll start the preseason on August 21. I'm looking forward to meeting my new coach, teammates, general manager, the president... I can't wait ... http://blogs.hoopshype.com/blogs/mickeal/2009/07/29/europe-can-be-a-great-career-choice/ Hi everybody! This is Pete Mickeal from Vitoria, Spain.  Little tibdits about myself for those who don't know me: I play for Tau Ceramica, the current Spanish champion.
