Why is there silence after another Jokic embarrassing defeat?

[maverick_41]

No, we are silent because we stand for Nikola today just as we did yesterday. In Slavic culture it's ok to stay loyal. Yesterday you won a championship, the day before yesterday you came back from 3-1 deficit twice, today you did the best you could but it was different outcome - it's ok, we still proud. Have you ever seen fans in Belgrade? The teams don't win a lot these days internationally, but Zvezda and Partizan fans are always supportive.

Kirilenko is a good example of such approach. We are grateful for 2007 Eurobasket and a handful of remarkable seasons for Utah and CSKA. 99% of people don't talk about lost Euroleague finals or NBA injuries and early playoff exits. We all have bad days at work. Andrei represented the country, cared about winning, even won accolades - very good memories, thank you.

If Nikola is no longer allowed to play NBA because he lost to Finland in August, he is welcome in Moscow.

AK47 owes a lot of that credit to JR Holden being naturalized by Russia. He even hit the game winner to clinch the gold.

Kirilenko, Monia, Khryapa and Savrasenko don't sound like Russian last names either. But that's ok, it was a great win of highly likable squad.

JR Holden led some magical CSKA teams for many years, showcasing tremendous Russian spirit on and off the court

JR Holden was more deserving of being on the EuroLeague All Time Top 25 list than Mike James was.

But Holden didn't make the list and Mike James did.

I see SpurNani is already in mid-season form with his obsessive anti-Jokic rants

Lets be realistic this is an average casual racism thread on the RGM. We only see these types on certain players

Obsessive or Objective? My OP has 30 likes in agreement.

why is there silence after another Luka embarrassing defeat?
why is there silence after another Lebron embarrassing defeat?
why is there silence after another Tatum embarrassing defeat?
why is there silence after another ANT embarrassing defeat?

You can nitpick every star player in the league if OP really wanted to

Probably the voters thinking process was similar to average RealGM users': Jon Robert Holden has lost 6 Final Fours, Mike James has lost only 2, which makes him a superior player in comparison with a 2-times champion and All-Decade player.
