Steve Burtt Jr. landed in Spain some weeks ago. ‘All Day All Night’ came to my country to help Vive Menorca to keep in the first league. It will be a hard goal because his new team is in the last position, but Burtt Jr. is doing all he can to make it happen.
His Spanish debut was a kind of soft, with 10 points (1-9 three point) in 23 minutes, but then Steve started to show why he is one of the best players in NYC. Against F.C. Barcelona (Andre Barret’s team) he hit 28 and last weekend he hit 25 in 25 minutes.
Keep pushing. Spain is watching.
Check Steve’s highlights at 0:33, 1:02 & 1:26

He hands down one of NY’s best. He’s a monster. Just went to a small school. Another GREAT JOB by our beloved N.B.A. scouts. It’s everything else but you guys that dilutes the game we love to see. A kid like this should not be playing overseas. Due to him going to Iona. He went under the radar. I know he’s had his tryouts. I love to watch him play. Scores with ease(Reminds me of van exel)

Steve is earning is stripes. He is a tremendous scorer who should get repeated looks from the NBA because his point guard game is getting better and better. He did a nice job last summer running the point at the Tri-State Classic.
Yo, he’s playing with Fredric Weiss???! The ultimate Knick bust of a 1st rounder! The Vince Carter complete jumpover dunk prop! It’ll be interesting to hear Steve talk about the experience.

This young fella deserves everything that comes to him.
he’s a great humble and overall a good young man.
For him to play the way he’s playing so far in spain he is proving he’s legit not only in europe but the highest level in europe.
I wish you nothing but the very best young brother. most importantly show em you dont have to be fully fundamental to put in work in espana!!!!!!

I’m glad this youngman is playing, unfortunately overseas. He got his talent naturally…as I know and watched his father play in the late 80’s…both very talented, however his dad got a short stint in the NBA.
