DeAndre Jordan on Why Nikola Jokic is the Most Talented Basketball Player He’s Ever Seen

[@calebbraswell9109]

Deandre Jordan gotta be one of the chillest dudes in the league

[@Dexcellence]

he seems pretty ubiquitous. Golf and down to Earth. But also a tenacious and tenured NBA player. Way better career than 16 year old me (after watching 2 only full NBA seasons) ever expected him to have

I believe people think Serbians fit into this "post-soviet villain" that it was so common to see in 80s and 90s Hollywood movies. But that's far from being true. Each one of the Serbs I met are just adorable, funny, friendly and truly caring people. You get one on your side and they stay with you for the long run. I am Argentinian and I found my interactions with Serbian to be very, very similar to that with a Latin American. Oh, and they KNOW their basketball. Love em!

[@huanromanriqelme716]

[@ivannbg6212]

Thank you man for this kind words. We are very similar to Latin people. We are both very pationate, we love music, women, life and sport very very much. I remember our battles in basketball, especially in 2002 in finals of world championship in Indianapolis. We both beat Team USA in that tournament. We won the gold but you got your revenge in Olympics where Ginobili hit a crazy fade away in the last seconds. That was crazy talented generation: Scola, Oberto, Ginobili, Sanchez, Nocioni, Sconochini, Wolkovisky... And we love Latina women. Sexy as hell, strong and very very family oriented. And I love your passion for music. When I saw the concert of AC/DC in 2009 on River Plate stadium... Man I wish there was a time mashine so I can go back in time to that concert. Cheers brate (brother) 💪🇷🇸🏀

[@airnidzo]

Thank your for the love bruh, it's mutual! #nohomo

[@emirepresa9500]

@@ivannbg6212 ha!! This is exactly what I meant! Yes, that 2002 game was crazy! Some people blame it on the refs but many of us, including Ginobili, Oberto, Nocioni and Scola admit that Serbia won that game on their own right and they were better during crunch time. Chapeaux for that game! Then 2004 was just madness. Speaking of madness, funny you should mention, I attended to the AC DC concert you mentioned at River Plate Stadium. I was 21 and I went to the second (of three) night with my buddy from elementary school. It was so epic, and we were so hyped that I barely remember the concert (and we were sober!). I guess adrenaline was so up high that my brain switch the memory off thinking it was a traumatic situation haha. Who knows! Nice talking to you brate!!

[@ivannbg6212]

@@emirepresa9500 And I remember how you kicked our ass in world cup in football in Germany in 2006. 6:0. Messi was a teenager coming off the bench and his first goal scored in world cup ever was against us. We were still a union of 2 republics, Serbia and Montenegro so we were called like that. Riquelme, Maxi Rodriguez, Ayala, Cambiasso, Crespo, Tevez.. phenomenal squad. Maaan I'm so jealous at your women and your passion sometimes. And I'm jealous at you for being at that concert. 🤣😁 I believe it was out of body experience.

So tell me LOGICALLY NOT EMOTIONALLY just how you come out with such a lunatic statement. The christian faith has hundreds of factions around the world. The Islamic faith has 73 recognised sects. There are over 2,200 recognised faiths and gods in the world today. in over 2,000years of history there is not one single verifiable shred of evidence to say there is a a god. In history there have been more people murdered in the name of one stupid fairy story god or another and you have the gall to ignore all the pain and anguish the families of these victims of religious hatred have had to go through, and actually claim god brings them together, when you come out with the moron comment of the one god. If you cannot be logical then just ignore me, as I have no time for the emotionally unstable emotional void fillers.
