Hard to believe that it’s already been nine years, around when Marcin Gortat entered the NBA, since he and his people started organizing a series of camps for kids in Poland. On the last six occasions, a Polish celebrity game was played at the end of the series. This year, I was on-hand to cover the events for TAI.
Traditionally, Gortat has brought some special guests from the U.S. to help out. This year Garrett Temple joined the Polish Machine in his homeland—after two years of Marcin asking him to come. There were two other prominent Polish basketball players taking part: Gonzaga Bulldogs center Przemek Karnowski and Adam Waczyu0144ski, the third best scorer of the Spanish ACB last season.
