Nenad Krstic recalled a recent conversation with Micic, whose contract in Europe just expired. “First time in my career I have a chance to decide my future,” Micic told Krstic. But it’s not that simple. Micic first must decide if he wants to play in the NBA, and then the Thunder must decide if and when it wants to add Micic to its roster.

Richard Jefferson: My favorite thing to do was to dunk on people. Alonzo Mourning. Chris Bosh. Nenad Krstic. Shelden Williams. Kevin Willis. Mark Madsen. Jonas Valanciunas. I would search those out. When I would see new big men come into the league, my favorite thing was to try and get ’em. I could have an open 3, and I would slow down my pump-fake to pull in a defender just so I could go get that big. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. Edy Tavares. Klay Thompson. It was just so much fun, and I was extremely blessed to have such a good string of health that it allowed me to do it in latter parts in my career. When I dunked on MKG, I just put him in a body bag, and I was 34 years old.
The two stayed together as teammates when Seattle relocated to Oklahoma City in 2008 until the Thunder traded Green and Nenad Krstic for Nate Robinson and Kendrick Perkins before the trade deadline in the 2010-11 season. Since then, Durant and Green have both stayed in touch and helped with various philanthropic projects for PG County. “They’re perfect role models for our area,” said Warriors guard Quinn Cook, who is also close childhood friends with Durant and Green. “They’re great basketball players, but they are better people and better human beings. They’re always there for the young guys. They’re there for advice if you ask any of the teammates. They’ve always been great teammates. It means a lot just to have guys like that with that talent.”
Nikos Varlas: So, @Nenad Krstic announced that the Final was the last game of him with the NT Shirt. A silver medal is the right way to leave the team you love.
“They’re probably the hottest team, and they’re playing at a high level,” USA coach Mike Krzyzewski said of Serbia. “They have stars on their team, and Teodosic, I loved him when I saw him in the World Championships in ’10, Bogdanovic is a rising star. Their big guys (including former NBA big man Nenad Krstic) are good, they’re well coached, and they’re strong. They can hurt you from many different positions. “They’re just playing great basketball right now. Actually, it’s beautiful to see. I hope I don’t see that beauty tomorrow night.”
And when all the pressure is on the other team, as it will be for the United States on Sunday, it can be an enormous equalizer. Just ask Spain. “We’re not going to be scared, for sure,” Krstic said. “Some players never get this chance — the chance to do something great in our lives.”
Nenad Krstic is heading to Anadolu Efes Istanbul, according to source with the knowledge of the situation. The Serbian big man just left CSKA Moscow and will join the Turkish powerhouse. Krstic has played from 2011 to 2014 with CSKA Moscow.
