Who Would Have Guessed That Maple Jordan and Pierogi Jordan are Facing Off?

[bballfan1three3]

Two of the premier wings in the nation face off tonight, Luka Doncic vs Andrew Wiggins, who shuts who down? Are the warriors too deep , is their back court too strong? Or can the Mavericks remember that one of the core tenets of basketball is making a jumper, i.e. putting the ball through the hoop?

Wiggins is actually way better at 1v1 defense than we gave him credit for

Pierogi? Wtf is that?

[GSWFan1994]

Thread has failed, I didn't see "finna" in there

Pierogi? Wtf is that?

Pasta dumplings, mildly spicy variation on ravioli.

Food slowly changes as you move from country to country in Europe. Slovenia is next to Italy but towards, Greece, Turkey Hungary and Russia so the food is a step towards those countries from Italy.

Slovenians got to have better national dish that Pierogi, I mean we have Cepelinai, Pierogi is just sad haha

[tria]

Wtf, we are famous for Pierogi? Thanks for this new information. Poland is famous for pierogi, not Slovenia. We don’t have them around here…. “Pierogi Jordan” for Doncic is downright stupid.

If you want to use foodbase nickname for Luka, he is sometimes called “Poli”. Poli is a brand of sausage/hot dog mix, popular around here. Doncic is a big fan from his young age and now brand ambassador.

Hmmm... Rolly-Poli Jordan.

There is potential.

[Egg Nog]

LOL...pierogi are known as Ukrainian/Polish food, not really associated with Slovenia.

[Sedale Threatt]

Cepelinai

This looks amazing.

Poli

This does not.

This poster is correct, however Luka looks Polish/Austrian/Czech etc.

Not really a Slovenian dish. Look like any dumplings really.
There's a very small region in Slovenia that has something similar, but it's rather unknown outside.
Some ppl actually call Luka Poli around here.

I think Puerogi is actually a Polish word but I think there are some similar foods all over Eastern Europe.

I never stopped in Slovenia despite taking a train through Slovenia. I was in Bosnia before Yugoslavia broke up and I was told the joke that Tito was the only Yugoslav but I had no idea that the country was about to break apart and the different ethnicities would turn on each other.

In Syria, Yugoslavia and Ukraine our government found historic tensions and intentionally worked to turn those tensions into civil wars. In Yugoslavia Germany was more responsible for breaking that country than USA was. In Syria the Saudis were more responsible for breaking the country than USA was. Syrian hate was organized by foreign powers and was never a peaceful democracy movement. In Ukraine America spent 5 billion dollars funding Russian hating semi-Nazis in 2014 . Why? America most dominate the World don’t you know. Our fireign policy establishment has convinced themselves that the world will fall into a dangerous chaos if they are not dominated by America. But Nobody likes being dominated.

Bosnians Serbs Montenegrins and Croats all speak the same language but they have different alphabets and different histories. Slovenians, Macedonians and Kosovars speak other languages. Greeks hate Macedonians calling themselves Macedonians. To Greeks Alexander the Great was a Macedonian and spoke a language similar to Greek. Bulgarians and Greeks consider mThe modern Macedonian language to be a dialect of Bulgarian but modern Macedonians think their language is a separate language. Bulgarian and Serbo-Croatian speakers can partially understand each other. Kisavars speak the same language as Albanians and Albainian is not a Slavic or Greek related language.

Serbian-Croatian last names often end in the letters IC like Doncic. Perhaps Doncic’s family was Serbi-Croatian because I don’t know that Slovenian names end in IC. If Yugoslavia was still a country they would probably have the 2nd best Olympic basketball team behind only the USA.

Pieogi are polish, I think calling Luka that way is just ignorant and bordeline racist.
You could have got away with Cavopcici, even if that's Serbian, but Pierogi makes zero sense.

Doncic is half Serbian and half Slovenian. Maybe Cevapcici Jordan is more appropriate

[LAL1947]

Luka does look like a dumpling at the moment, haha.

If that doesn't work though... how about Struklji Jordan?

Or this! Roli-Poli Jordan

A ton of Slovenians have Serbian or Croatian backgrounds (Slovenia was the wealthiest region of Yugoslavia so it attracted a lot of internal migration). That's where the "ic" surnames come from. Luka's dad was Serbian (born in Slovenia himself).

Any Yugoslav sports fan has to be salty about the break-up of the country. We'd be the best or close to the best in so many sports if the country was still around.

I can understand why Slovenia wanted out because the did not want to be financially drained by the poorer states. But once Slovenia was gone Serbia was too powerful within Yugoslavia.Michael Parenting influenced my thinking on the break up of Yugoslavia. Germany wanted a sphere of influence (they should have renounced spheres of influence as part of their renunciation of Hitler) and they thought the could have Croatia. I think the USA’s motive in breaking up Yugoslavia was a fear that Romania and Bulgaria would want to follow the Yugoslav style communism light path if neoliberalism failed and therefore the USA wanted to destroy Yugoslavia as a potential role model.

The Yugoslavia I would have liked to have seen after the fall of the Soviet Union but outdated have not taxed Slovenia to pay for poorer regions thereby removing the incentive for Slovenia to leave, and would haves enlarged Yugoslavia by bringing Bulgaria and Albania into the new Yugoslavia. Maybe change the name since Albanians are not Slavs. Make a new Capital near the Macedonian, Kosovo, Albania border. The Kosovo Serb vs Albanian problem would be improved. With Bulgaria and Albania included there would not be a problem of Serbian domination of the country.

Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda. Oh well they got a nasty war instead.

Sure, just as there's Slovenian lasagna (same page) or Slovenian pizza
