Georgi Nikolov Glouchkov (alternate spelling: Gueorgui) ((ブルガリア語:Георги Николов Глушков); born January 10, 1960 in Tryavna) is a Bulgarian former professional basketball player and president of Bulgarian Basketball Federation. A 6 ft 8 in (204 cm) forward, he was the first player from an Eastern bloc country to compete in the American National Basketball Association (NBA).
==Professional career==
Glouchkov began playing with Bulgaria's national team as a teenager.After one successful season with Luskov Yambol junior side, he got promoted to their senior side by his junior coach Simeon Varchev. They also worked together in BC Balkan Botevgrad and Akademik Varna.〔http://yambolbasketball.com/history/history-glushkov.php〕 By the mid-1980s, he had established a reputation as one of Europe's top five players.〔Johnson, Roy. F. "A sun far from home court". ''New York Times''. November 12, 1985. p. 10.〕 After averaging 23 points and 19 rebounds during the 1984-85 season〔(http://www.interbasket.net/players/glouchkov.htm ). Retrieved 25 August 2006.〕 in which his team Akademik Varna won the national championship, he attracted the attention of the Phoenix Suns, who selected him in the seventh round (148th pick overall) of the 1985 NBA Draft.〔 The Suns signed him to much fanfare on September 25, 1985, releasing a special press kit which included a history of Bulgaria and a glossary of Bulgarian phrases.〔Boyer, Mary Schmidt. "The International Player". ''The Official NBA Encyclopedia''. New York: Doubleday, 2000.〕
Glouchkov knew very little English and was accompanied by Bozhidar Takev, a Bulgarian coach and trainer who translated for him. At the beginning of the season, Glouchkov impressed the Suns with his strong rebounding and became a regular member of the team's playing rotation. Retrieved 25 August 2006.〕 He ended the 1985-86 NBA season with averages of 4.9 points and 3.3 rebounds per game.〔(http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/g/gloucge01.html ). Retrieved 25 August 2006.〕. After a year playing for Phoenix Suns, he decided to quit the team.
Glouchkov did return to his homeland and continued to play basketball in the European leagues. He had his most post-NBA success with the Italian club Phonola Caserta, whom he led to the European Winner's Cup finals in 1989 before losing to Real Madrid.〔"Glouchkov pioneered Europe's path into NBA" ''The Oregonian''. March 21, 1991. p. D06.〕
