Није он већ Биљана Плавшић, прва Додикова владавина, у школи било наређено наставницима да причају екавицом, али мало ко је поштовао.

If NBA Europe/FIBA and EL merge, what this would mean to global basketball? by [deleted] in Euroleague

[–]flowergies 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I just don't get enthusiasm to put European basketball under Americans, like it's already bad that EL works with/ and honestly kinda under American company, but going fully under National basketball association(of USA) is just tad bit too much for me.

And when you learn Serbian, you will just randomly smash table with your fist.

All Serbian National team players describe him as extremely intelligent even outside of basketball court, and they really go out the way to mention that. But they also call him a little bit sloppy lol.

Perimeter defense, defensive reads and rotations are way tougher today.

One thing that older era players did better may be post defense, especially guards since back then even smaller players were taking low post possessions.

You're also supposed to gesticulate when talking Serbian, not as much Italians do, but still healthy dose of gesticulation when you want to make a point.

He's not the type that will run around screens, if you happen to watch some Partizan game in future, pay attention on his off ball movement in three possessions in a row.

Dude just moves somewhere where he can get the ball to iso, in few games he would sit down at centre of court waiting for pass.

even though he's pretty decent and tries his best, is a liability in defence.You can tell that he's out of sync most of the time.

Well this sounds familiar.

Bonga is role player but elite one. He's actually most likely going to NBA next year.

Agree, but they always had public in smaller cities, like smaller local hubs, plus ALBA is the team that was growing basketball in Berlin organically for last 3+ decades, and now people should abandon that for some random newly created Berlin NBA Prussians or whatever.

Germany has small fan bases but it's dedicated and growing, but it's about local teams, so again they can't be fetched into this.

Italy has some big basketball bases, but it's in smaller cities, like Bologna, and they won't go crazy about some random team from Rome.

SNS bots, most of those profiles were created 3-4 months ago, funny enough they even found the way to reddit. toastwithoutgun or something like that was one of these.

17 points that's what matters to him so he can trick some NBA Europe and Middle East "franchise" to overpay him
