Former And 1 star Headache is currently getting busy in Puerto Rico’s Baloncesto Superior Nacional. Here’s his latest update:

Hey Bounce-

In Arecibo, we lost by 18. In 16 minutes, I had 8 points, 4 assists, and 1 steal. The next day, we ran into San German, and it was a great game. I played 18 minutes, and shined at the end. We were down 21 going into the fourth quarter, and I started playing New York style. I got us back with defense, and we tied it up with a minute left. I finished the last 7 minutes with 10 points, 3 steals, and 3 assists. The best part was with 60 secs left. I got fouled, and went to the free throw line to tie it up. The crowd got crazy, and I could feel the voices around my head it was so loud. When I knocked the shot down, it was like turning a light switch off. We ended up losing by three, and it was a hard loss to take. I hurt my calf in that game, so I will probably be out for a week or two. The newspaper wrote this about me:

“Tim Gittens entonces volvio a acercar a Guayama a un punto tras dos tiradas con 5.6 segundos. Sin embargo, alvarado metio dos impotantisimas tiradas libres con 4.2 segundos para ponerle fina la amenaza de los brujos.”

Peace,

Tim “Headache” Gittens
