Nearly three minutes last Saturday meant history in the Lithuanian league and the protagonist was Edvinas Šeškus. At just 14, the 1.90m guard became the youngest player ever to take part in an LKL game as Rūdupis faced Perlas. The coach of the former, who is Edvinas father, decided to let his son in when the game was already decided in favour of his team. Šeškus didn't have a chance to score or even shoot and commited two turnovers. But that was not so important in a historial moment.While Edvinas' favourite team are the Los Angeles Lakers and the player Kobe Bryant, he doesn't even think about the NBA right now and is rather interested in improving his game at the Arvydas Sabonis basketball school.
The previous record had been established by Martynas Mažeika and Ignas Sinkevičius when both were 15 years old in 2000.
Rūdupis is ninth in the league with 2 wins and 5 losses.
(No passado sábado, três minutos fizeram história na liga lituana, e o protagonista foi Edvinas Šeškus. Com apenas 14 anos, o base de 1,90 m tornou-se o jogador mais jovem de sempre a disputar um jogo na LKL. A sua equipa, o Rūdupis, bateu o Perlas por 89-65, e o treinador, pai de Edvinas, decidiu colocar o filho no jogo quando este já estava decidido a seu favor. Edvinas não consegui marcar qualquer ponto, nem sequer lançar, tendo cometido dois "turnovers", mas isso passou despercebido no momento histórico.
Embora a equipa e jogador favoritos de Edvinas sejam os Los Angeles Lakers e Kobe Bryant, de momento nem pensa na NBA, estando mais interessado em consolidar o seu jogo na escola de basquetebol Arvydas Sabonis.
O recorde anterior pertencia a Martynas Mažeika e Ignas Sinkevičius, quando ambos tinham 15 anos em 2000.
O Rūdupis é nono na liga com 2 vitórias e 5 derrotas.)
