Nenad Krstic has a long wingspan and decent agility for a man of his size; other than that, he is not very athletic. But he is rather skilled. Krstic is a decent finisher who scores most of his points from pick and pop jumpshots, who can also run the pick and roll and post up a bit. He passes well, and he is not a bad rebounder either. Offensively, at least.
He is a bit mediocre on defense, though, and not exactly a hardened protector of the paint. He can be pushed aside on the interior, jumped over, and, if you can get him outside of the paint, dribbled around relatively easily. Krstic does a decent job defending other perimeter orientated big man, but he isn't very strong or athletic, and defends accordingly.
Krstic is also notable for holding the world record the longest time spent recovering from a torn ACL, after grafting his way through a painful 2007/08 season - in which he was woefully short of his best - for no real reason. If his aim was to prove his health in a contract season, it's fair to say that he failed miserably.
Additionally, Krstic is also a glamour model. To see him in the nude, click here. However, with his scalp thinning as fast as it is, maybe the days of Nenad Krstic baring his nipples are numbered.
- 5th March, 2009.
Anagram: "Drink stance". We've all got one. Personally, I stick my left knee out.
Note: As you can probably tell,
some of the nicknames were made up. Many are genuine, though, and they
are only made up in the instances where a real one couldn't be traced.
Many given nicknames are of common usage, but some are also sourced
from lesser known sources - these sources are not often cited, not because
I hate the people involved, but because there's too many to do so. For
argument's sake, just assume that the unfunny ones are mine.
In the event where more than one agent is listed, this is because the
player has more than one agent. Simple, really. This is rather commonplace
- a lot of times, a player will sign with a big agency, and they will
have both primary and secondary agents from within that agency to handle
their affairs. (Where that happens, the primary agent is listed first.)
Also, foreign players tend to have both American and domestic agents.
Where the details of such are known, they are listed. It's essentially
like a fun multiple choice game, except without the "fun", "multiple
choice" and "game" elements.
Additionally - don't sue. We're only having a laugh. There's no slander
here. Just very bad jokes.
