While I was at work this morning I had to defuse a problem invloving from young adults that came over to work here for the summer. While checking their passports I found that there were a number from Serbia, only one spoke broken English. I asked them if anyone had watched the playoffs between the Magic and the Pisotns.

 

The response I got was overwhelmng and I am glad that from thier tone I wasn't Brian Hill.

 

For the most part these kids thought that Darko was not getting to play right. That the coach was very ingnorent (sp) he shouldn't be allowed to coach "baby teams"? They thought that Darko should have shot more from the outside than he did. They also think that he will do much better for their home team this summer.

I do not know how many of you have any idea how powerfull is basketball in Serbia?

Serbia is a very small country in South-Eastern Europe with only 6 million people but that is not preventing this small country to have highest number of international NBA players over the years.

One of the reasons for this phenomenon is that Serbs are the tallest nation in the world, on average 6-2 for men, and 5-9 for women.

Another reason is huge tradition, Serbia won 13 European titles, 5 World Championships(last one in Indianapolis 2002), 2 Olympic titles, and many many many second and third places in international competition. Are you kidding me??? Country with only 6 million people??? That is the same if state of Nevada ball team won all of that!!!

 

Let me remind you of some of the names from present and past that come from this basketball wonderland:

 

Nenad Krstic

Zarko Cabarkapa

Vlade Divac

Marko Jaric

Predrag Drobnjak

Drazen Petrovic

Zeljko Rebraca

Vladimir Radmanovic

Toni Kukoc

Sasha Vujacic

Mile Ilic

Rasho Nesterovic

Sasha Pavlovic

Dino Radja

Peja Stojakovic

Gordan Giricek

Zoran Planinic

Dragan Tarlac

Sasha Djordjevic

Predrag Danilovic

Zarko Paspalj

.

.

.

and Darko Milicic

 

How about first international coach in the NBA - Igor Kokoskov, then second international coach in the NBA Aleksandar Dzikic, then serbian-american greats Pistol Pit Maravic, Gregg Popovic, Rudy Tomjanovic ...

 

How about countless aces in Europe like Dejan Bodiroga who never got a chance to play in this league and who would for sure be a star in it...

 

There is no end to this wonderful story!

 

Remember my post from 5-6 months ago that Darko will get 10+ million a year???

 

It is coming to be true, Otis' and BHill's dirty plan to put down his value this season and get him cheap is obviously not going to work!!!

 

Good luck Darko and show everybody where you belong - right behind Lebron James!!!
