When the person formerly known as Chris Jackson decided to change his name to Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, he was labelled by some of society as a troublemaker and rabble-rouser. Those labels did not dissuade him from continuing to stand for what he believes, by not standing, actually. When Rauf decided to not stand for the National Anthem based upon his beliefs,…

It’s a tradition older than words on a page, passing our games and traditions down the pipe. In today’s modern sports era, having a father or mother in a professional sports league seems to heavily increase the odds that there might be offspring in the mix.

For years, we’ve heard stories about Sombor. On Sunday, we finally got to experience it for real.

Unforgettable. Incomparable. Life-changing. It’s difficult to describe what happened here in Belgrade Saturday night.

Harrison Wind and Adam Mares check in from Belgrade and discuss a slew of topics with Serbian basketball analyst Srdjan Radojevic. The guys talk about how Nikola Jokic can get better next season, how Team Serbia is looking ahead of Thursday’s game vs. Greece much, and moore. 5:00 – Last night in Belgrade 16:20 – What stands out about Belgrade…

Day 1 in Serbia is a wrap. Almost. It’s 7 pm local time when I’m writing this and the plan here is to go out to either Belgrade Beer Fest alongside 100,000 of our new countrymen or find a Splav along the Danube or Sava rivers that run through Belgrade. But after 14.5 hours of travel across three flights, the…
