    glad nurk got the invite. thought there was some beef after seeing only the Serbians and Slovenians in that pic on twitter.

    Looks like poor Mario didn't make the cut.

    That's actually kind of heartwarming and impressive. I wonder if their generation is really past the troubles of the 90s. If we can't beat racism, maybe we can beat ethno-nationalism?

    (Nurk is Muslim, right? And if they're representative of their respective groups, Mario would be Catholic, while Jokic and co would be Orthodox Christian.)

    This is very nice pic. Public people, especially sportists from ex Yugoslavia countries mostly are friendly and do not have beefs and do not talk about politics... War happened, the worst thing. Serbia as main attacker on all other countries. But people are trying to be ok, politicians are the worst evil and they still want to keep hate between all of us in Balkan.

    Look this picture in Bosnian media...

    https://sportsport.ba/kosarka/stras...pu-nurkic-se-pita-ko-smije-biti-trener/373485

    They said scary team of Balkan players and how good that team woud be, esoecially on centers position, and Nurks question: Who is not afraid to be the coach?

    And i will show how serbian media published this news ( most of serbain medias are controlled by gov and they are full of fake news and nationalism)

    So look their context:

    https://sport.blic.rs/a-m-p-article...A&tdv=SPORT_BLIC_RS/sportblic/kosarka/nba/ART


    They said Nine balkans and Nurkic with Serbian flag! You see, their point is that Nurk is with Serbian flag, even though he put all flags of each country... Just to remind you that Serbia attack Bosnia and destroyed it and killed a lot of people including worst war crimes and genocide in Srebrenica... And their point is Nurk with Serbian flag!!! Thats why we all here in Balkan cannot have piece and normal comunication... One friendly dinner between sportist they put in other context...

    He would be so amazing on this team. He would transform our bench while giving Lillard and CJ more time to rest
