    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Lurking in the depths of the internet are two translations of statements reportedly made by Zoran Planinic and Nenad Krstic: angry criticism of Lawrence Frank by Planinic last December that included a trade demand and a comment by Krstic last month that while "blacks" are predisposed to be better basketball players "we who come from Europe are technically and tactically superior to them." The Planinic comments were reported by a Croatian newspaper, Krstic's by a Serbian airline magazine. </div>

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">"I get along perfectly with everyone in the franchise, as well as my teammates. The only problem is that the coach doesn’t seem to be a big fan of mine. I’m stubborn so I don’t like to go with the flow, I choose not to stay quiet while he’s dissing me, maybe I was placed on the inactive players’ list because I complained how I resent him not giving me any playing time. However, Friday night he whispered to me that everything, eventually, will turn out positive for me. I see no possibility of that if I don’t move somewhere else."</div>

    I wouldn't look into the second article too much for the fact that it's a croatian source. You can't argue that many Euro players are better technique-wise and fundamentally though.
