Here's what one league insider had to say about Makoto Hasegawa, the Akita Northern Happinets' veteran point guard/playing manager in a May 2011 interview.
Hasegawa will turn 42 in April.
"He (Hasegawa) can't run or defend anyone, can't make shots when he's tired, but still thinks he's the best player and going to help win the game," the observer pointed out. "He's also the boss, so he subs himself in and out. And as much as Akita fans know about basketball, they have blinders on when they watch 'Sam Cassell' hobble up and down the court, and get burned repeatedly on defense."
