My homie, Ante "the Antidote" Žižić, as I have affectionately nicknamed him, is gone from Boston. In reality, it is like he never even came here.
From the day when he was drafted, until yesterday, I was so excited that my favorite Croatian big prospect will join my favorite sports team. I was sure that CBS would have molded him just like Michelangelo released the David from the stone. Bill Russell would tell him of his time playing in Croatia, with the USA team in the late 50'ies, and pour in some Gandalf knowledge in his head. Horford would have taken him as his newest and oddly, the oldest son. Showing him the NBA ropes and being in his ear, motivating him. Perhaps with some images of his attractive Dominican female relatives...
Men will plan and gods will laugh.
The dream was never even dreamt fully.
Ante will likely quickly become "the Anecdote" Žižić, a side note for the vast majority of the Celtic fandom.
Goodbye, kelly green Ante Žižić and welcome to the NBA Where-rough-welcoming-happens Ante Žižić. Catch a few notes and lobs from that guy with the number 23 and that little guy, he is a gem.
