I knew Bogut was of Croatian descent but hadn't realized he even uses the lang on twitter

"My life is a book full of wars,
Each page is a sea of wild waves."

The Croatian verses on twitter aren't his, they are from the Croatian "war"-pop singer/songwriter with a self-proclaimed (early 90's) nickname Tomphson, as the gun.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thompson_submachine_gun

This singer is a nationalist and IMO divisive factor in the Croatian society and that's why I don't like him. That and also that he didn't pay a part of his taxes. Those proclaiming to be great patriots and do that, lose their cred in my book.

The Croatian diaspora (mainly in the USA, Germany, Australia, Canada) and numerous native Croats adore Thompson, as he represents the true "Croatian ship" (whatever that would mean) and Bogut would fit that mold. Me, personally, being musically proficient, I don't hear anything musically and artistically interesting in it, just blabbing of some political messages, sang by a raspy voice.

Seems like a good place for this:

who is the Chris he mentions?

either way, interesting quote. My opinion of David Griffin continues to soar since hes left the Cavs.

I'm reminded of Danny Ainge talking about always targeting players who have had to overcome adversity in some way in the lives. I can't remember the exact quote and I can't find it anywhere but I don't think Ainge ever would've drafted Anthony Bennett.
