Krstic: “I Wanted to be a Laker like Divac”

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>In an interview with HoopsWorld, Nenad Krstic talks about how when he was growing in Yugoslavia, he would watch Vlade Divac on television and dream of playing in the NBA, particularly the Los Angeles Lakers. Krstic also talks about valuable advice he got from the other seven-footer from Kraljevo and how he is surprised to be anyone&rsquo;s role model.</p>

Up Close with Nenad Krstic</p>

 

Good, let him go. I sure as hell hope we don't sign him next year...especially to a big contract.</p>

 

I didn't interpret Krstic as saying he would rather be a Laker now, but rather that Divac was an idol for him (not surprising at all) and he wanted to follow in his footsteps. Sounds more like he's recounting a childhood dream than making a trade request (Krstic for Bynum! )</p>

 

Kidd probably wanted to be a Laker when he was growing up too. Don't see why anybody would read into this.</p>

 

How many people probably wanted to be a Bull like Jordan back when he was playing?</p>

 

I think he means he wants to be a Net as Krstic just and a Laker as Divac alike</p>

 

key word is "wanted", I wouldn't make anythingbig about this.</p>

Wade's a great example.</p>

Hinrich wanted to be a Bull, too. Looks like his dream came true.</p>

 

Krstic, Nachbar and Carter for Kobe.</p>

 

To boost Nenad's confidence I voted for him in the All Star game. Hopefully he'll start </p>
