Olympics 2024

[KillerLeft]

I despise when things are done at a low amateur level and unfortunately I have a very low opinion on how our basketball association works. It seems like a bunch of people are just there riding the Luka wave while contributing very little. Despite huge overall success of Luka (and additional income he provides for assocciation), I don't see anything in Slovenian basketball turning for the better. Please note that Luka was correct to recognize he will not become the all world player in Slovenia and instead left for Real when he was 13. 

National coach is no where near the quality Luka led team should have. It is clear he has zero authorithy over the stars (multiple as long as Dragic was still on the team, now it is singular). Every coach with an ounce of self respect would have stepped down after the debacle in last European championship. Players might have been too relaxed, but it is on him to get to them and get them to commit. If he can't, someone else shoud try or the players just don't have it. Obradovic, Serbias most respected coach and one of best (the best?) European coaches, stepped down when a similar thing happened in Serbia a decade or so ago. In any case, I can't stand it that we have a top 3 player in the world and we give him a third tear European coach. The success for Slovenia came when the coach was Kokoskov, who is in a whole other league compared to the current one.

This is great insight from our Slovenian expert, thanks so much! 

I bet it was super frustrating to feel that same way about his NBA team the first few years. Hopefully, this string of doing business halfway decently continues for the Mavs!
