Interesting French interview podcast with Bryan Mullins.
Good interview this was posted earlier but I will leave it up for its own thread

Merci! Decent interview. I half expected BM to do in en francais, seeing as how he seems to be capable in every other way.
Kind of cool how b-ball is catching on over there to the extent that an interview with a B League guy could be considered worthy of a show.

Are you Serious?? "B League guy" Wow!! How disrespectful of Bryan Mullins!! Bryan has been an "A" League guy his entire adult life!!
If you would have listened to the interview, the hosts didnt just target Bryan because he was the only available Coach to interview. They knew Bryan from his days playing professional basketball in France. One said he even played some games against him.. They were also impressed that he had become a Head Coach at his young age...
I meant no disrespect at all; quite the contrary: I think it speaks volumes of the respect he must have garnered over there that they sought him out for an interview despite his not having played most of his career in France in their top league (Pro A) and therefore being less of a household name. That was my point about being a Pro B player: likely less name recognition, yet they still picked him for an interview. Which is really cool.
Playing for a B-league team, by the way, has nothing to do with the skill level of individual players; they are on a promotion/relegation system for teams, so a Pro B team can have a top-flight player like Mullins--as good as anyone in Pro A--but still be playing in the lower league because the team as a whole isn't doing that well.
Falker played for years in Pro A, not because he was necessarily a better/more valued player than Mullins, but because he was signed by (and retained) by a better team.

Sorry, I misunderstood your initial statement...
