Goran Dragic is my COMRADE!

Yes, you heard me. My comrade.

Where in the world did he come from? No one actually knows... unless of course you do, and it just so happens that Wikipedia does. Turns out he is from Slovenia and helped his team win the Slovenian league championship... I know, you're probably thinking, "...then why on earth haven't I heard of him 'till now, since I watch the Slovenian premier basketball league all the time?" I know, shocking.

Anyway, Dragic entered the NBA draft last year and was picked up by none other than the San Antonio Spurs, who traded him to the Phoenix Suns. Ironically, it was against the Spurs tonight that Dragic played a monumental game, carrying the Suns in the 4th quarter in a come-from-behind 14 point win to make it a 3-0 lead in the playoff series (which deficit, by the way, has never been overcome in a 7-game series in NBA history! BOOYAH!) with 23 of his 26 points in the last 12 minutes of the game! Holla! (Can you tell, I'm a Suns fan? Ok good, then you aren't dumb)

For more on the awesome game, check out this article on ESPN.

Because of Dragic, Steve Nash can rest easy that during his time on the bench, the game is in good hands. For that I thank you, Goran Dragic.

So here's to you, comrade! Cheers!

P.S. I hate the Spurs. They cheat and play dirty and someone should just punch Genobili in his already broken nose. That might make up for that fateful game 4 almost exactly 3 years ago when Robert Horry checked Steve Nash into the score bench (for a full account, see this article) or when Tony Parker's cranium broke his nose! ... Maybe.

Go Suns!
