Extractions: A recent report out of Serbia-Montenegro stated that the 16-year NBA veteran had announced his retirement due to recurring back problems. Divac, who suited up for only 15 games for the Lakers last season after back surgery, first addressed the issue of whether or not he will lace them up for a 17th pro season. "It's basically on hold until Sept. 30," Divac said. "That's the day where I have to make a decision and when the Lakers have to make a decision. Before there was speculation, there was another article in the L.A. Times that named like five different options that might happen with me. One of those was obviously retirement, and I guess some people have said they'd like me to retire, including the one that made up the whole issue about it. But Sept. 30 is the day when I'm going to decide."

Extractions: An Appeal to Juan Antonio Samaranch Weekly magazin " Vreme " initiated the campaign to add Vlade Divac to the list of candidates for the International Olympic Committee. The FreeSerbia team joins the appeal initiated by Vreme and calls everyone to voice their support to the candidature of Vlade Divac. To Juan Antonio Samaranch Lausanne We write this letter with hopes that you can use your authority and try to amend an outrageous act of injustice done to an outstanding sportsman such as Vlade Divac, player of Sacramento Kings and prominent member of the Yugoslav national basketball team. He was only eighteen years old when you shook his hand for the first time and put a bronze medal around his neck after the World Basketball Championship in Madrid 14 years ago. He was the youngest member of the Yugoslav squad, but his talent was obvious even then. You have met him on many occasions since then, usually on the highest step of the pedestal, and granted him gold medals he won with the Yugoslav team. Vlade Divac has been playing in the NBA league for 11 years as one of the most successful Europeans in the world's best basketball show. However, the bond with Yugoslavia, his home country, and his parents and brother living there, has always remained unbreakable. Divac played for Yugoslavia whenever he could, most recently at the European Championship in France last year.

He has appeared in the movies "Eddie" and "Driving Me Crazy" and the TV shows "Coach" and "Married With Children." Divac has appeared in numerous television spots and this season, 2003-4, will appear in an international television commercial promoting TNT on NBA broadcasts.

He left home at age 12 to pursue a basketball career, and at 16 he had signed a professional contract with Sloga, for whom he played two years.

Serbian shooting phenom Peja Stojakovic drains a three-pointer, just one of six This image of an exultant salute is broadcast around the world. Hundreds of thousands of people see it, and to many, the meaning of the sign is obvious: Three fingers means three points, a cause for celebration. Still others, Muslims and Croats in America and Europe, will read it as a symbol of hate, intimidation and terrorismas recognizable and despicable to them as the strong-arm salute of the Nazis. But the most frightening experience of her life came as she and her family fled Sarajevo. It was on that trip that she feared the three-finger salute would be the last thing she saw before she died. Her family was in one of the last bus convoys out of that besieged city in 1994, when Filipovic was only 11. Five buses were in the convoy. It was winter and bitterly cold. She remembers that the passengers were forbidden to stray more than a few feet from the buses during their brief rest stops because the roadsides were littered with land mines. She also remembers the embarrassment of trying to go to the bathroom in the frozen shadow of the bus.

Extractions: And I am lost with what I should do. I know I need to start Snow because of the assists he gets but I already have Gary Payton as my PG. I can Have Snow play guard but I have Chauncey Billups there. One idea I had would be to trade Billups for a forward and then use Tayshaun Prince as a utility guy and then start Snow at guard. I need to get rid of one of my Piston guys because that's pretty insane to have the idea to start 3 Detroit guys. PLEASE PLEASE help if you can!! Sell and Trade your Cards, Free!

Friday, July 15, 2005 Vlade To Retire Divac ending a Hall Of Fame career There are reports on the FIBA website that Vlade Divac will retire sometime before the NBA season starts back up. A back injury that sidelined Divac most of this past season is the reasoning for the retirement. Divac is a very interesting player in my life. I've never formally met him....though I did talk to him once. He had his AOL Screename available for people to IM him back in the mid-late 1990s....so I hit him up one night. Just hollered at him...told him I was a fan of his and just to say hi. He repectfully chatted with me for a sec. At that time, he was on the internet a bunch. His homeland, the former Yugoslavia, was in a horrible civil war and he was keeping tabs via the internet of what was going on. Divac is most likely the biggest athlete to come out of Yugoslavia...and was one of the guys who helped usher in the European Invasion.
