Check out the building and the logo in Aaron's tattoo.

Pretty cool.

 

[Hawkeyes4Life32]

Definitely one of my favorite Hawks! Happy for him!

 

[Legend12]

Getting a tattoo of the White House lets everyone overseas knows he is true American. Good for him. Stanzi would approve.

Pentagram. But you know..... same thing.

I loved watching Aaron play here. One of my all time favorites. I wonder if he is as popular with the European fans as well or if he is just the American on the team.

He seemed to be a fan favorite while he was with Zalgiris. Have no idea regarding the others. His short stint in Milan didn't seem to work out very well, hope he gets back on track in Greece.

As time goes by, we forget how good AW was

Traditionally, Panathinaikos is a really good team. Byron Scott and Dominique Wilkins played for them after their NBA days back in the day.

Great highlights. Good to see AW and good to see Gabe again!

 

[NevadaHawk]

I still hope Whitey lands with an NBA team before his playing days comes to an end.

Check out JBo's interview of Aaron here:

 

[ICWestfan]

How rough is it to have to play on the Canary Islands, and then move to Greece?

 

[Franisdaman]

#30, Aaron White.

Champion.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Well done Aaron! You have always been a champion in the eyes of Hawkeye fans!

Best timing on the ally oop of anyone I've seen play for the Hawks. Fun video, thanks......

 

[twindman]

I don't think the tattoo looks like the old capital on the pentacrest. Maybe it is, tho.
Anyway, in the video he was crazy good! Who takes a 1 on 4 fast break and slams it down??!!!!!!

You’re looking at the wrong part of the tattoo. There’s a house on the top and the old capitol on the bottom.

Correct. Definitely Old Cap.

 

[twindman]

You are right. I couldn't make out the lower half of his arm tho...... Thanks for the update.

 

[Franisdaman]

Helped turn the program around and ended up as the program's #3 all time scorer.

STILL hoping! 😍

Aaron White is headed to Serbia next season. Still wearing #30, too.

AW is having a solid overseas career. I suspect he's done reasonably well financially as he's been able to hook up with higher tier teams and probably avoided the issues that we've heard about with the sketchy organizations at lower levels.

 

[Ronman]

Is it normal for American players to change teams so often over in Europe? Can they only legally play in certain countries for a limited time? Or is the movement a result of monetary inducements?

I'd love to see Aaron in a NBA uniform, but as time goes on, I realize it is a fleeting reality.

I don't pay enough attention to know if it's normal to have frequent team hopping. For the Iowa players that I've known about that does seem to be true.
Agree that it's unlikely he'll end up in the NBA at this point. The guy will be 29 in a couple of months. Hard to see a league team taking a 30 year old "rookie".

That is what the picture is. A Pentagram is what devil worshipers have
