Nadam se da ovo nije vrhunac tvog "humora". Smanji malo ogorcenost svime i svacime. LP

sjećate li se u našoj prvoj pripremnoj protiv Slovenije kako se Bogdanović nervozirao šta ne može proći Dončića? tipa, alo mali, šta se ložiš na mene u jebenoj pripremnoj, na prvenstvu ću te isprobijati ko panta pitu.

Da. nije mu mogao nista. Mali je jak ko bik. A i Saric se izivio jer je Randolph bio na klupi.

Ali aj ti Aci objasni koncept pripremnih utakmica.

Ček, nećeš računati nogomet, vaterpolo igraju 3 zemlje na svijetu i što ti ostane? Rukomet, odbojka i košarka. U rukometu to što su jedno natjecanje bili ispred nas ne znači da su nas prešišali, dakle ostaju ti odbojka i košarka. Odbojka se kod nas godinama ne igra na nikakvoj ozbiljnoj razini, nešto kao kod njih vaterpolo... Za košarku svaka čast, iako treba napomenuti da još nemaju nastupa na OI, na SP im je najbolji rezultat 7. mjesto, tako da tek trebaju dokazati da ovo nije bljesak..

Argument broja stanovnika je također besmislen, koliko ima Indijaca više od nas, a bolji su jedino u kriketu.. Treba skupiti 5,6 ili 11 igrača na terenu i iako je baza igrača bitna, nije odlučna jer je na kraju samo 5 protiv 5, odnosno 11 protiv 11 na terenu. Island izbaci Engleze u nogometu, evo sad Slovenija Španjolsku u košarci, Srbija Austarliju na OI i sl., primjera je nebrojeno.. Bitno je jedino koliko se ulaže u koji sport i iz toga dolaze rezultati, a ne iz brojnosti..

Tema je Eurobasket.

Mislim da veceras ipak nece biti iznenadjenje.

ne mogu rusi 2x....

pa nogomet se lagano pobije hokejom na ledu, kojeg nisam ni spominjao. zakurac i jedni i drugi, enormni uspjeh je plasman na veliko natjecanje. odbojka se ne igra na ozbiljnoj razini? što to sad znači? mladost je nekoliko puta bila u finalu kupa prvaka, žene osvojile '91, tri reprezentativna ženska srebra na EP pred kraj 90ih. znači ne računa se ako smo si mi sjebali bazu za neki sport. uskoro će bit slično s rukometom, pa ćemo to izbaciti iz jednadžbe jer to ionako ne igramo za "ozbiljno". Kakvo dokazivanje košarke? Pa ovo sad je više nego je hrvatska napravila od 1992, a trebaju se dokazivat? :D. u pravu si za broj stanovnika, to mi je argument zakurac, ostalo si pristran

Luka Doncic and the Great Slovenian Basketball Conspiracy
u/LionHeartedAchilles
Like most people that have been watching EuroBasket this year I've been impressed with Luka Dončić's performance and so I found myself reading his wiki page. Something caught my eye:

Dončić was born in Ljubljana, Slovenia, to Saša Dončić, a former professional basketball player and Slovenian international of Serbian descent from the village Biča near Klina,[22] and Mirjam Poterbin,[23][24] a hairdresser, former model and dancer, and owner of a prestigious beauty salon in Ljubljana's inner circle.[25]

Turns out Dončićs dad is a Serb and Dončić would have been eligible to play for Serbia. Wikipedia also says he was also linked with the Spanish and Montenegrin national teams, and they're all fun what if scenarios to imagine.

I also noticed that the Luka Dončić article was in the wiki category Slovenian people of Serbian descent. Sure enough under D there was Luka and Saša Dončić, but right below then were Goran and Zoran Dragić!

Dragić was born to a Slovenian mother and a Serbian father.[38]

Just like Luka Dončić the Dragić brothers had a Serb father and Slovene mother. A coincidence I thought, but something caught my eye on the category page. I saw a name that was none other than that of Sasha Vujačić. And once again in the personal life section:

Vujačić was born in Maribor, Slovenia, to a Serbian father and Slovenian mother. His father was a Serbian basketball coach,[1] while his mother was a Slovenian volleyball player.[3]

A pretty clear pattern exists here, and it becomes even more damning with further investigation. According to RealGM there have been 10 Slovenian players in the NBA, 9 when you exclude Anthony Randolph. Vujačić and the Dragić bros have been discussed leaving 6 players to investigate.

Primož Brezec: No personal life section on Wikipedia, based on the name I'm going to assume 100% Slovene

Marko Milič: Once again the Serb father, Slovene mother pattern emerges

Milič's father, Vladimir Milić, a Serb from Croatia based in Belgrade, was a shotputting champion in former Yugoslavia. His mother, Metka Papler, was also a successful sportswoman in Yugoslavia.

Boštjan "Boki" Nachbar: Personal life section makes no mention of his father's background and Nachbar doesn't sound Serbian, going to go with 100% Slovene

Radoslav "Rašo" Nesterović: Yet another Slovenian basketball player with a Serb father.

Nesterović was born in Ljubljana, SR Slovenia, SFR Yugoslavia to father Čedo, a Bosnian Serb employee of the Slovenian Railways, and a mother Branka, a midwife in the Ljubljana University Medical Centre.[3]

Admittedly this one is a bit tricky since we're not given the last name of his mother but let's just assume she's Slovenian.

Uros Slokar No personal life section, and Slokar is a Slovenian last name. 100% Slovene

Beno Udrih: Personal life section doesn't mention father's background,, and Udrih is a Slovenian last name. 100% Slovene.

All in all, of the 9 Slovenian players in NBA history 5 have Serbian dad's. But only 1.98% of Slovenia's population are Serbs. There most be a reason for thsi over representation, and if you look closely it becomes quite obvious.

Its pretty clear that the Slovenian government, tired of being overshadowed in basketball by other Yugoslav republics like Serbia and Croatia, decided to embark on a basketball player breeding program. Attracting athletic Serb men with its higher living standards, the Slovenian government had their women seduce these men so they can infuse their superior basketball dna into the Slovenian population. While the program was initially unsuccessful, producing players of limited quality it has has success recently with Goran Dragić, and now it looks like the Slovenians have achieved their goal with Luka Dončić.
