HoopsHype Interview with The Dragon aka White Jesus!

[garrick]

I'd much prefer it if Dragic kept on developing as a pure point rather than become a combo guard. Pure points much harder to find and develop than combo guards.

thats what im saying!! funny how ppl call him white jesus after last season when this time around last year ppl were calling him tragic! wasnt jesus white in the first place? dont forget guys Goran is not steve. As good as goran was last season I dont think he is a franchise player.

Jesus would have been Jewish so he wouldn't have been white but more Arabic looking. A lot of Jews we see are of a lighter complexion but that is probably due to having lived in Europe and Russia for many years and having some intermarriage between Jews and non Jews.

I see. how about the slovenian messiah?

make it savior for the alliteration. Goran Dragic, the Slovenian Savior.

[DRK]

Nope!

Good. I dont want to see Vujacic get owned again.

Ahem*

As the guy who coined the White Jesus nick, it was when GD first started showing who he really was and we all went giddy - Stat has the Black Jesus tat, and BJ was also Earl Monroe's original nickname in the black hoops community til the pros, when it couldn't be printed in papers and magazines.

Sop White Jesus was a tongue in cheek reference to all that, plus the Christian imagery of a bizarrely caucasoid and blue-eyed Christ

i love dragic. he's obviously got his head on straight and he has a real potential to be great in this league. hopefully he continues to develop and makes the same progress he did last year.
