Kinda... you're getting close. I said sum about pieces :wink: But let's just leave it.
Let me ask you something, who are better shooters, Latvians or Lithuanians :D


Oh, then I have misinterpreted the part about being shredded to pieces.

Haha, the Lithuanians would probably say that they are and rightfully so, but I can say that our whole game has always relied on launching three after three.

I never said you were wrong, but maybe you're just too young :wink: Leave it to history...

Exactly what I'am saying. Maybe the best potential basketball clash of all time, with all due respect to Lakers - Celtics rivalry.
I have reason to believe this, because Yugoslavie torn down to Serbia+Montenegro (basically, only Serbia players, Divac, Paspalj, Djodrjevic, Danilovic, Bodiroga...) did pretty well in first half vs. team USA, but they didn't really have any bench, while Team USA was as stacked as it can get. 1992 Yugoslavia would have had some bench support too, so it would have been really great to watch :D
Still, the Dream Team wins, because if you get Michael mad...

well, the '98 Croatian football team reference made me think that you're a Croat, but I guess the fact that you're upset over the breakup of Yugoslavia should have made it clear that you're in fact somebody who doesn't strictly consider himself Croatian.

by the way, am I barely not crossing the line and being politically correct? I suppose some other former Yugoslavs would have taken offence over me calling them a certain other nationality. Kind of similar to a Latvian/Lithuanian being called Russian.

once brothers 30 for 30 documentary was one of the saddest things i have ever seen. you could just feel the pain and heartache that divac felt. i remember at the time hearing about the divac feud, but things were different then and w/out the net, stuff just didnt get as much attention. and when divac was here in charlotte for several years, there was never a mention of what he was going thru personally or what he had dealt with during the years leading up to him playing in charlotte.

No, as you can see I am OK, but unfortunately you are right for much of the former Yugoslavs.

Once brothers - still haven't watched it, my shame. I must say I've only recently found what caliber of player Drazen was - and I was thrilled.
@LamarMatic now you'll probably now which of Yugoslav tribes I am from exactly :lol:

I wept like a b*tch during that documentary. Vlade was one of my favorite Hornets growing up. I felt so bad for Drazen not getting any playing time in Portland.

Oops sorry I got it mixed up. You guys have always had some amazing players, my father's team is Pau-Orthez and they had Dragan Lukovski play for them when they were still a great team. I have very fond memories of me watching them play when I was young and he was always my favorite player. That was when they had Boris Diaw and the Pietrus brothers too, what a team they had.

Newspaper gig, successful youtube channel, you're going to be hitting the big time soon.

Seriously though, I'm glad your getting recognized for the work you've put in, hopefully you can make a living out of what you're obviously passionate about.
