Nenad Krstic used to be our friend

After we took a mild slap at Nenad in the previous post, we got a couple quick emails in taking us to task for it.
For example:
why you always cracking on nenad
he aint that bad you should watch the NETS
later
First of all, we’re not “always” cracking on Nenad. We’ve only done it like 20 times, and only when we write about him and/or the Nets and/or the lack of real centers in the NBA.
Thing is…there’s a reason for this. A real reason.
We used to be best friends with Nenad. Bear with us.
Several years ago, during our fourth go-round with the Peace Corps, we spent some time in Croatia. While building a hut for a well-known Croatian diplomat, we met a young, promising big man named Nenad Kristophersonbach.
He was crude in both basketball fundamentals and common sense, but we saw a spark in the young lad. We saw that certain something that let’s you know someone is a future halfway competent NBA player.
Knowing what we had on our hands, we immediately emailed our dad and asked him to email our uncle, who then emailed Chad Ford. Anyway, to make a long story short, after Nenad got to the NBA, we accidentally (KEY WORD) had sex with his girlfriend, and he’ll no longer speak to us.
That doesn’t change the fact that he still goes by the “star-making” reimagined last name we came up with for him, or that he still has the same hairstyle we told him he’d need to make it here in the States.
Look, the point of all this is that at one time we’d had plans for an awesome fan club for Nenad - one we obviously aren’t in position to run anymore. We are, however, sitting on a stack of the t-shirts we printed up for it.

Nenad’s from Serbia.
Go Nets!
I know - I met him in Croatia, though.
my god you made that just for me, didn’t you…
I’m hungover and I have no idea what that post was about. I=Very Confused. Excuse me while I go punch myself in the face for drinking too much.
The offer to swap for Brad Miller is still on the table
hm. before I would have jumped at that. now I feel like…well, Cav already banged his lady out, maybe I’d like to keep Ne off the ledge
Nenad went off on the Knicks this year…but so did Andrew Bynum…so that tells you all you need to know…
“banged his lady out” is my new favorite phrase.
finally I am able to contribute to society…
whatever you’re smoking , i want it !
I am totally impressed with your ability to jump the shark with such grace.
I cried a little after that post, only a little though.
Dude that happened back in January at the latest!
(fyi nobody uses that phrase anymore)
Yea, they use phrases like “bangd his lady out”, I’m not even totally sure what that means
