Did you watch EuroBasket 2011 and Macedonia F.Y.R.’s fun Cinderella run? Then you probably noticed what I did; that Pero Antic looks, and even plays at times like the Chicago Bulls’ Carlos Boozer.

Antic was having a bad game from the floor, a fact this poor Lithuanian schnoz found out about first hand. Or inner elbow. Yes, he received a tech for this. And his 4th foul, before the 3rd Q clock was even out. 5 finds the bench permanently in FIBA ball.

But he wouldn’t be held down long. A short while later the Macedonian Boozer would do something the (born-in-Germany-grew-up-in-Palin-country) American Boozer either can’t or won’t do; take 3s.

So it occurred to me that…

Оле!

That’s Macedonian for ole!
