Best thing to watch after beaten the Celtics!!!

[@TheOGsShow]

💯

[@pauldube1118]

As a Celtics fan I'm gonna have to watch an episode directly after our next L to the Heat, might be like OG therapy 😂

[@Jjaquinooficial]

This podcast is literally heaven for us heat fans !

[@bigploppa154]

for real! and ive been waiting for a Dragic episode!

[@Marcus.c25]

Faxx!😂

[@alan33308]

Yes indeed!

[@alan33308]

Thank you OGs! Now I'm waiting to see Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce get interviewed on here by the OGs but I'm sure they will need several security guards to stop UD from kicking both of their @sses 😂😂😂😂

[@Miamiheat4Life23]

Facts bro 😂😂😂

[@BasedTom]

true Heat fans remember how Dragić was probably the most consistent player in between the heatles and jimmy era. dude made a ton of sacrifices for the team, and stayed consistent and loyal even when shit went rough in ways no one could have possibly foreseen (CB retiring, DWade leaving for example.) idk how Pat and the Heat management see things, but he earned the right to retire as a member of the Heat and have his name in the rafters. Goran was the Heat's leading scorer in the 2020 playoff run right until he got injured in the finals.

[@bigboy_allan]

Biggest Heat fan ever the dragon needs to join the Heat as a player development

[@andreallenupcic8066]

Especially to train Niko 🔥🔥🔥

[@LastNameInTown]

People forget Goran was our top scorer in the playoffs in 2020 and if he had not been injured we really could have won. He deserved to get to play and it was some cruel ish to see.

[@thalia8023]

I think about that every time I see Goran!😭

[@brutubp3738]

Y’all wasn’t beating bron but everything else is correct

[@enriquegarcia1151]

Jeff teague is pretty good too.

[@BodaciousBubbles]

As a former Yugoslavian.. Hvala Brate!! Crazy to see the shift in respect for the European players in just my lifetime. Glad OG got a lil history lesson as well 😂

[@alesksander]

At the end of day ball recognizes good ball. They just needed time too adjust.

[@BodaciousBubbles]

@@alesksander Wanna know what’s crazy? Yugoslavia was a communist country and they wouldn’t let their best players leave for the NBA until they were like 28. No wonder they didn’t get their respect 😂

[@ajvhan]

They sat Drazen for 2 seasons on the bench. What a tragedy.

[@kristjanrobic6399]

Yugislavian school of basketball at its best💪

[@JuanVasquez-pl4tj]

Goran is seriously one of the coolest cats to ever put on a Heat jersey. Also one of the best point guards to ever play in Miami. I don't own many Heat jerseys, but I'm glad I own his.

[@sqjam]

"Fun" fact time! In the legendary picture with Dončić, his dad and Dragić. There is another Slo basketball legend Marko Milić on the left! He is one of the best players of his time in Slovenia and is now working as part of the Mavs trainers! And he was the first basketball player from Slovenia to play in the NBA. And now the circle is complete!

[@krces1]

From 1996-2001 you can say he was top 10 European Player.In 97 he was top 5 in Euroleague for sure.

[@ajvhan]

In NBA regular game. Boris Gorenc played before him for Chicago Bulls in official game in McDonald's International tournament. So he was technically first

[@Rustdot9]

Throwing the tooth at the ref is fucking hilarious

My favorite Miami point guard ever since i started watching the team in 06. I was so mad he could not play in the finals 2020, definitely deserved to be in it.

[@JJordison]

Goran is a perfect example how you can be an excellent NBA player, a great person and humble at the same time. Proper legend.

[@Munards]

44:35 threw a tooth at a ref😂😂

[@NemoElohemi]

Goran is our captain forever! 🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮

[@Mrjvc163]

That Eurobasket run was so good. That was when I knew that Luka can co exist with Kyrie when they made the trade. He already had experience playing with the Dragon. He also played with great players from Real Madrid and earned their respect. It was just a matter of putting the right pieces around them.

[@austinh22]

I helped manifest this one. This was one i requested and I'm glad it happened. Let's go Heat!

[@Redsdelight]

And Bam…If Goran and Bam’t gotten hurt in game 1, we would have taken that chip. People forget that Bam missed half of game 1 and all of game 2 and 3. Injuries happen l, so there’s no excuses anyways, but damn we could have taken them.

[@mckayburgess8427]

I LOVE listening to these guys. In amongst the hilarity, jokes and brotherly nudging they give each other, they have great reads on basketball and inside experience. Love hearing the history and how differently (because of their careers) they see things so differently from the average fan. Great to see you Dragon! What a cool podcast episode.

[@bigploppa154]

love the podcast Mike and UD! Love seeing Goran on here, alongside UD and Wade, Dragic is one of my favorite Heat players ever

[@richyrich2880]

Goran dragic was such a solid player. Took over the suns team and became a starter under steve nash’s tutelage. So many tryouts from bledsoe, thomas, knight. We were never able to beat Lebron james and even after the d rose dunk, the dragon lives on!!!

[@AND1StReEtBaLLeR93]

Was it worth it Pat? Where's kyle lowry now? This man gave his everything in the bubble and it was an absolute pleasure to watch while it lasted. Held down the fort in the dark days post Big 3, and this is how we repaid him. HEAT LIFER FR

[@eric-is2ix]

One of my favorite Suns all time. Game 3 2010 vs the Spurs will forever be one of the top playoff moments in nba history.

How could you not love Dragic?🤣

[@davidcalixte9785]

Goran needs a pod his interviews are always fire

[@CrisJunkie]

Wemby will never average a triple double with blocks but only because his opponents wouldn't dare shoot it over him. If there's anything the players discovered this year, it's that Wemby's defense is legit: timing, agility, IQ, length, athleticism.

My favorite so far. Always appreciated Goran on the Heat. Wish he could have won a championship. Would have liked to hear his thoughts on the war back in his country and how it affected the different players from the countries at war.

[@astrodoops]

I might be wrong, but I believe that Slovakia wasn’t really a participant in the Yugoslavian wars.

[@matjazkranjc3511]

@@astrodoops You are totally correct. Slovakia is a different country. But Slovenia did. Luckily we were the first to break away from Yugoslavia so the war lasted only 10 days, then the army retreated. Other countries were not as lucky, probably due to proximity to Serbia.

[@Gregorrin]

@@astrodoops You might be wrong, but I believe you really can't differentiate between Slovakia and Slovenia, two DIFFERENT countries. Which is embarrassing for you.
