[Highlight] Nikola Jokić freezes Deni Avdija with a slick no-look pass to Julian Strawther for the easy finish
[removed]
Avdija is a Serb on his father’s side. These are Serbs who live in Kosovo in the region called Gora and Opolje. They forcibly converted to Islam (only men) in the 17th and 18th centuries. The last large region to convert to Islam in Kosovo was the region of Gora and Opolje. There were individual conversions later, but not this drastic. The last Serbian and Orthodox woman in Gora died in 1856. Her name was Božana and she lived in the village of Brod, together with her children and grandchildren who were Muslims. Deni had a Serbian flag on his draft in addition to the Israeli one. I hope this community will survive. They live very hard in the heart of Europe in the 21st century, which is a great shame.
lol why did they downvote you ? His father was born in Serbia.
Lol dude, you can’t allude Serbs live in the Kosovo region, what’s the matter with you?
Deni should’ve played for Serbia, they decided for Israel to express gratitude to the new country.
I do not dispute that he decided to play for Israel. I’m just describing the difficult period that his ancestors on his father’s side were going through. They are going through the same thing today
Luka’s grandfather was born in Kosovo. Serbs still live in Kosovo today. Most were expelled. Monasteries and churches from the Middle Ages were destroyed and demolished. Cemeteries were demolished. Now there were memorial services, there were recordings of destroyed Serbian monuments in cemeteries. Families will transfer the remains, when NATO does not want to protect at least the dead (although they signed to protect) That is called culturicide.
How come we didn’t get any of these stupid comments on the yang post
Anytime it’s a Deni post it’s the same tired jokes
Cos Yang not Israeli
So you are just openly being xenophobic now, and mods don’t gaf. Wow. And surely your xenophobia has nothing to do with anti semitism, even though you are only targetting israelis, while china AND the usa are both significantly worse. Like magnitudes worse.
There was a dude here a few days ago getting mass downvoted for naming all the anti semitic things kyrie has done/said. Yet despite all that, you guys actually think that you are not anti semitic. Crazy
Ya yall ignorant. All American players complicit in trumps bullshit too
You mean trumps bullshit where he’s arming and funding a genocide in Gaza?
So can i openly shit on all americans? Biden was also complicit before you claim you didn’t vote for that
Do whatever you want. Biden was 100% complicit
Both can be true. But also - which nba players have openly stated their support for ICE? Also, can you really equate the ICE terrorism with the Gaza genocide? They’re kinda on two separate levels.
How dare jokic commit that hate crime of a pass
30 points up and all i see this quarter is players on the free throw line. Just plain boring and painful to watch.
What highlight? Isn’t this a routine Jokic pass?
People are just getting all riled up at the opportunity to be xenophobic.
what the FUCK are you talking about 😭
took a quick scroll through your history… you really are the quintessential negative redditor, aren’t you? just spewing hate everywhere you go
W Jokic
Pushing over 100 with 7 to go in the third. Defensive masterclass going on in Portland.
Strawther…. Man of the people
OP this is your 7th post about deni in this subreddit in the last 24 hours. I promise you there are more effective methods of activism.
Did he freeze him? He’s got like two people he has to guard on a fast break
I mean, that’s kind of the point. Jokic looks to Cam at the three-point line so Deni has a moment of hesitation and fails to realize Strawther is cutting to the basket. Objectively, it’s best for Deni to stick to his man and cover the more efficient shot, but the look-away maintains his attention and delays his decision-making long enough for the punish to come through.
I mean yes but this is like a split second in his head. When I think of getting frozen I think of you just stopping and being defeated. Yes he has to consider that two players can potentially get the ball but he never looks fooled. Yes he hesitates…. because he has to pay attention to two players. That’s not the point. I just think like most Reddit highlights, the title is an exaggeration. Unless you gamble you can’t really do anything in this situation. He still reacts to the pass, he wasn’t left standing in disbelief. He’s not frozen at all.
When I think of getting frozen I think of you just stopping and being defeated.
….This isn’t anime
Im not describing anime. Think of the Jason Williams crossover on Payton. GP is frozen. Even the Austin Reaves fake behind the back pass left a defender frozen. A no look where the defender still reacts didn’t leave him frozen, he just has a tough challenge
Don’t make it sound more exaggerated than it really is just to downplay my comment. He’s backpedaling the whole time and just gets stuck in no man’s land trying to track two players. It’s just a well delivered pass, he didn’t freeze the defender frozen with a no look.
Look at OPs post history. Let’s not take him seriously
It’s hard to think ahead coherently when your entire worldview is reactionary. /S
I was trying to figure out what sort of heat seaking comments the poster of this highlight is going for and gave it my best shot.
The ADL isn’t gonna be happy about that
Yo dawg you need to seek therapy or something man. Putting your energy into something like this just isn’t the answer, I promise you.
ok u/SeismicRipFart do you say this about the one chud who only posts avdija
He doesn’t if you scroll past his post past more than an hour ago, he posts nuggets highlights the blazers are playing the nuggets…
Lol didn’t mean to reply to myself why is that even an option lmao
You seriously can’t see the difference with being obsessed with hate for a specific player?
If he did post about only Deni, sure I would. But if you haven’t noticed he posted more content than any other user in the sub, Deni related or not.
OP taking time out of their day to spread hate.
Those are not at all the same thing. Sorry that you think that they are.
