Yang Hansen’s translator helps him communicate with Deni Avdija
“Oh Deni got fouled there” is absolutely fucking hilarious.
unnecessarily funny
Nice assist from the translator to help comuninicate
The chemistry on this team is actually so good right now. I’d love to see Yang’s minutes go up because I’m a true believer that he has the skill to be a star in this league.
I wish the Nuggets would trade for Yang. Let him be Jokers gigantic padawan.
If Yang lived in Serbia over the summer and worked out with Jokic that would be incredible content.
Cleaning out the stalls, shoveling horseshit, feeding them hay, brushing the horses thoroughly. Eating cevapi and drinking 2 liters of coca cola every day. Just enjoying Sombor life with Nikola, never speaking a word about basketball.
Only horse, no ps5 for Hansen
Karate Kid him into some basketball greatness
We all need this. Y’all can have Valanciunus and Christian Braun. Talk to your GM.
i fully believe jokic will just be racing horse with hansen all summer
And he’d speak perfect serbian only after that
Send Yang to Serbia 6 months and forget, one time you call him
Yes please. JV is older and probably want to go back to end his career in Greece. Lets get Yang. He could be our backup center/pf next season.
Kinda weird thing to say
Um… why? I think your thing was a weirder thing to say.
He has the skill set that can develop to be a good center. His game IQ isn’t there. It looks like the game is moving a lot slower for him now though. I legit thing he will he be a starter in 2-3 years.
everyone keeps saying he’s a project. I think they are doing more than working him into the nba. they seem to be giving him resources and minutes that don’t crush his confidence. I like it. seems smarter than “go let him ball out and see what happens”
The importance of a good translator for an international player new to the league cannot be understated. Gotta translate fast, accurately, & also in a way both parties get their point across without possible malice coming through because of tone or differences in language. Yang’s translator has done a great job so far, especially helping to get Yang’s goofiness through in his translations with media.
Not to mention sport vocab is very specific and technical.
This is worth noting. How many translators speak both languages fluently and also know all the jargon that NBA professionals use amongst themselves? Obviously they can learn like any young player could, but it’s really not conducive to doing their job if they have to stop every few minutes to ask what a term means.
he know i got the green fn so let me get to my bag with the hesi jimbo before you cut so i can find you for the hee-hee, deni
On foenem
Then on the subtitles it translates to like 2 words.
Alperen Sengun had a terrible translator that barely spoke English and Sengun even said as much in later interviews when he finally learned English himself. Sengun got an American girlfriend pretty quickly when he entered the league and learned English extremely fast. There is a saying in Turkey to learn a tongue “i.e. language” you must touch a tongue. Some interpret saying meaning if you get a partner you learn the language quick.
what’s the saying in Turkish?
My understanding is that you need to bang a Turkish woman to find out.
Yang’s translator has done a great job so far
Certainly seems like it. He pops in and within 3 seconds of hearing Yang’s message, he’s got Avdija with the fist bump ready.
That’s 2 free throws for Deni Advija

Mods gonna execute you bro 😭😭😭
What did he say ;-;
Something about a certain middle eastern nation
I love that game recognizes game, regardless of language.
Wholesome and dope
Time to learn Chinese
“I’m not asking you to become Chinese, I’m saying that when the time is right you will one day look in the mirror and already be Chinese”
What’s this from
I no longer remember
is this a meme? first time I had heard this
I love Deni immediately like “nah bro you need a phone a friend” and all he had to do was make eye contact with the translator. very cool.
he saying you Israeli a pussy for killing kids
Totally get the Israeli government is criminal but does this joke really work when America just bombed Caracas and is still funding Israel’s genocide?
Like would Yang Hansen have to say that to all his teammates? Would the translator have to go all the way down the bench until he gets to Splitter who’s his only non-American or Israeli colleague?
This is pretty lame. It’s almost half of a year yet he still can’t do basic communication.
the fuck lmao
Its clear he can, probably just heavy accent
If you have seen any interviews you can see he clearly can do more than basic. You have no idea what nuance was being communicated here.
