Toni Kukoč to the spurs?(translation needed)

ZBOG brojnih ozljeda, koje ga nisu nimalo štedjele, Toni Kukoč je razmišljao o povlačenju s parketa. Međutim, Toni, za kojeg su zainteresirani San Antonio Spursi i Miami Heatsi, kaže kako bi volio odigrati još jednu sezonu u Chicagu.

"Točno je da me zovu Spursi i Miami, ali nekako bih najradije još jednu sezonu odigrao u Bullsima, jer u Chicagu imam kuću. Da nisam imao prilike osvojiti NBA prsten sigurno bih odabrao San Antonio ili Miami." - rekao je Toni za Novi list.

Zbog mnoštva ozljeda Kukoč je razmišljao i o povlačenju s parketa.

"Na početku prošle sezone imao sam problema s kukom i pomislio sam da je došao kraj moje karijere. Nakon što sam sanirao taj problem odigrao sam pedesetak i više utakmica bez problema i to mi je dalo nadu da bih mogao odigrati još jednu sezonu." - objašnjava Kukoč.

37-godišnji košarkaš tvrdi da mu nikada nije dosadno igrati košarku, ali zbog terapija nije mogao igrati sa 100 posto učinka.

"Problem su mi terapije koje su mi svaki dan uzimale po dva-tri sata da bi se odigralo nekih 15-20 minuta. To me ubijalo." - rekao je Toni koji smatra da se posljednjih godina podigla kvaliteta hrvatske košarke.

"Hrvatska reprezentacija je pokazala napredak posljednjih godina, na posljednjem prvenstvu izgubili su tri susreta s pola koša. Kada se prijeđe ta granica dobije se na sigurnosti. Ako naši igrači budu vjerovali u sebe mogu se očekivati još bolji rezultati." - zaključuje Toni Kuk

Imagine that.

Here's my translation:


"Yada yada yada, Spurs, yada yada yada!"
"Where does Ducks dig this stuff up yada yado yoda yada."
"Yada yada my balls itch yada yada."
"Kukoc, yada, Spurs, yada yoda yada."
"WTF, kiss my yada. Yada Yada Yo."






I think that about sums it up Ducks. Thanks.

My Hungarian is a bit rusty.

It basically says, "I'd love to play for the Spurs or Miami, but they don't think I can guard a mannequin." :smokin

Actually, appears to be Serbian.

I'm pulling your chain Marcus. :)

One thing I am not clear on.....if you can't read that shit...what are you doing surfing that interent site to begin with?

Why would the Spurs want Tony? They already have Barry, Bowen, Manu, and probably Brown?

Starters
1 Parker
2 Ginobili
3 Bowen
4 Duncan
5 Mohammed

Bench
1 Udrih
1/2 Barry
2 Brown
3 ?
4 Horry
4 Scola(?)
5 Nesterovic

Spurs do not have a backup small forward. Kukoc's game would fit the Spurs' motion O, give the Spurs some length on the perimeter that they lacked last season, he'd cost very little and probably wouldn't have a problem getting limited minutes.

It is Croatian language, Toni said he wants to play for the Bulls, but also the Spurs and Miami are interested in him. So, if he wanted another ring he could go to these two clubs. And it talks about other stuff that don't interest you. Believe me.

Due to many injuries that haven't spared him throughout his career Toni Kukoè was thinking about retiring. Toni, for whom San Antonio Spurs and Miami Heat have shown interest, says that he would like to play one more season in Chicago

»It is true that Spurs and Miami called me, but I would prefer to play one more season for the Bulls, because I have a house in Chicago. If I hadn't won an NBA ring yet I would certainly pick San Antonio or Miami« Toni said for Novi List ( name of newspaper – translates to »New paper«)

Due to injuries Toni was thinking about retirement.

»At the start of last season I had problems with my hip and the thought that my career is over crossed my mind. After that injury was healed I played more then 50 games without problems and that gave me hope that I could play one more season« Kukoè explains.

37-year old basketball player claims that he is never bored playing basketball, but he couldn't play with 100% due to therapies.

»The main problem were therapies, which took a lot of time. I had to have 2 to 3 hours of therapy in order to play 15-20 minutes. This was killing me.« - stated Toni who also believes that the quality of Croatian basketball has improved in last years.

»Croatian national team has shown progress in last years. At last championship they lost three games with 1 point. When you cross that border you gain self-confidence. If our players start believing in themselves they can achieve even better results« ends Toni Kukoè.

PS: The language is Croatian not Serbian... they are a bit similar, but still many differences exist.. and with the history of those nations some people can hold it against you if you guess it wron g(nah, I think everyone would understand). Just to clarify it.

Thanks Ozzy. That about covers it with Kukoc.

Sounds like he's staying put.

Toni said that he would like to play for the Bulls because he has his house there. He also said that if he hadn't won the championship before he would surely except the offer of either Miami or San Antonio.

In the second part of this article he talks about his injuries and the quality of croatian national team.

Ok, i was too late again...

But I thought the Spurs were too good for Kukoc? Spurs fans said they were going to have an all All-Star lineup.

Oops.

Yeah, go figure. I hate Spurs fans.

Way back when, I think it was Buck Harvey that wrote an article about Lloyd Daniels. It stated simply enough that Lloyd Daniels couldn't guard a mannequin. It may have been the context of the article but it was the funniest thing I've ever read from Buck. I just kept laughing and laughing every time I read it.

But it goes back to what I said before. I figured the lure of an additional ring wouldn't be an advantage when trying to get Kukoc to join the team, especially when it comes by playing 5-10 minutes a game every other game, or worse yet, riding the inactive list at times. Assuming the Bulls want him, which they should, he's a lock to go up there.

Eat shit...most of us realize Kukoc is done...didn't want him, don't care what he does, and in fact are actively happy that he thinks he's too good to play here.

You should read the other Kukoc article...the one where he says he thought he was done.

I had my say...I'll leave you grip over not getting a washed up player who doesn't care about winning.


Loser lover.

He's a Jason Kidd all over again.

Kukoc > Heal

Sincerely,
MB

In one of those articles Kukoc said...If I wanted to win a ring I'd go to San Antonio or Miami...but I'd rather play in Chicago because I have a house there.

Woooo....what a competitor...we'll miss his fire

:majorfuckenrollyes

Coyote > David Robinson

Poop>MB's ability to evaluate talent

I'll give you this one...

Kukoc would be useless. Horry's a better shooter and more clutch. Use that 12th man slot for a back-up point. Kukoc has nothing left, much less fire.
