Nikola Pekovic...where is he now?
Apparently some big ties to a drug lord in Serbia.

Cocaine and guns found in a vehicle owned by Nikola.
Godfather to Dusko Saric's kid, who is the brother of drug lord Darko Saric.
Don't ask me why I got curious about what Nikola is up to nowadays, because I have no idea.

Dude had a game that was perfect for the 90's. Of course he was two decades too late for us.

I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Darko's (not that Darko!) brother is named Dusko.

Pek was like a 77% FT shooter. He had a decent shot from about 12 feet inward.

Guy's are not better shooters. You telling me Mo Speights is a better 3 point shooter than Bird? (He has more 3's in a year than Bird)thinktank wrote: ↑Sun Jul 14, 2019 2:08 pmI think it’s natural for players to become better shooters.

It's the way they have catered to the offense by changing the rules.
You think it's a coincidence Pat Mahomes throws 50 tds in his first season?
Twins breaking HR records etc?
Sports are geared towards the new gen with high scores, tons of scoring and zero defense.
It's the world we with in. Guy's didn't just become so great at shooting lol.
And Beefs right, the game has went backwards. There were so many different aspects to the game at one time. Now all these guy's play the same. Positionless? I guess. Bigs don't have post moves etc no more. Bunch of guy's jacking 3's or going to the rim uncontested.

Sure he could. There’s still guys like Montrezl Harrell who are allergic to shooting, and are board and close in bullies.

Re: Nikola Pekovic...where is he now?
Yeah. There's always going to be a spot for true big men in the NBA. You might not see them dominate any more, but theres always gonna be use for a 7 footer who clogs the lane and gets put-back points...Capella, Harrell, Nurkic, Jordian, Valanciunas, Adams, Gobert, Drummond...Many of them on playoff teams, and traditional bigs, and big parts of what their teams do.boxter432 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 14, 2019 11:33 pmSure he could.

Re: Nikola Pekovic...where is he now?
Not really the point, dude. There’s currently more than a few shorty, interchangeable 6-6 wing shooters who can’t shoot all that well in the league.
Could you build a title contender around Hakeem Olajuwon today? I don’t think so and that’s not a good thing.

Re: Nikola Pekovic...where is he now?
There was a good talker durung the wolves summer game, where they discussed moving the 3 pt.line back or at least even it out, eliminating the corner 3. They said it would revive the mid-range shot which has sadly died and led to the 'evolution' you see today. They envisioned seeing postups and mid-range shots coming back and brining back dynamic play of all sorts.thinktank wrote: ↑Sun Jul 14, 2019 10:55 amCan’t blame the game for evolving.Beef Supreme wrote: ↑Sun Jul 14, 2019 9:42 amYeah.
