Serbian basketball is by far the best in the former Yugoslavia.

The legendary Yugoslav and Serbian basketball player and coach, Zoran “Moka” Slavnić, spoke to the Croatian media about the differences between Croatian basketball and ours. The former Serbia coach, who was a member of Šibenik during his rich playing career, along with Crvena zvezda and Partizan, analyzed on Večernji’s list where Croatia went wrong.
– It’s a shame that Aca Petrovic, as coach, ate his narcissism, because it would be ideal and you could be successful with this generation – Slavnic began.
Known as a man with no hair on the tongue, the legendary Moka once declared that the Croatian team has no “sm ** ima players and bastards”.
– Yes, I said it once. When I joined the national team, I didn’t understand what was meant by son of a bitch. And that’s not an insult, but someone is thought to be a scoundrel. We have that sporting insolence, that audacity, it adorns us more than you Croats. You are mostly polite, nice and easy going. Unlike the basketball players from Zagreb, who were decent as girls, Skansi and Tvrdić were a little more daring, so after my arrival as coach in Split, my first task was to “pamper” the players back then – Slavnić said.
Moka agreed with the famous Dino Rađa that Croatia’s problem is also in sports workers.
– You are a master at destroying basketball. I can’t believe a Split can’t recover. So what do your sports workers do? Is salt water so brainwashed that you no longer understand anything? “.
Slavnić went one step further by analyzing certain Croatian athletes and their attitude towards Serbia.
– As an athlete, I traveled all over the world and now I prefer simple trips around Serbia. We were also in Croatia, of which I have very good memories, which does not mean that I think well of everyone. I don’t like nationalists, I had no contact with them. I am a nostalgic Yugoslav and I will die like this, and if a Croatian is not allowed to say that, that is your problem. You have fulfilled your wish for secession and it is not necessary to have a Serb-Yugoslavia complex, and I see that everything that was good at that time is being erased from you. We don’t have to love each other, but there is no need to hate each other. We should not be poisoned by politics, and some of their athletes during the war were quick to say something against the Serbs to get on the ass of the political establishment – Moka brutally concluded.
