It is kinda interesting ... I like European basketball and follow several leagues including Russian Superliga ...

Spartak Saint Peterburg is an old franchise with some traditions and has a good development program. Andrei Kirilenko is a product of their system.

Many players were loaned from CSKA Youth squad.

Saint Peterburg is one the most beautiful cities in Europe, so it is a plus, but Baltic climate is terrible. It is like Minnesota - cold and windy. I know it very well; my hometown is Hamburg and we have the same weather
