Tuesday, November 17th, 2009 at 9:10 am in Basketball.
Today I’m beginning a series where I quiz Cal players on topics they don’t generally address. We’ll try to do one of these each week.
NIKOLA KNEZEVIC
Year: Senior
Position: Guard
Height: 6-3
Hometown: Belgrade, Serbia
Your five-man Dream Team, including yourself in the lineup: Dirk Nowitzki, Vlade Divacs, Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Nikola Knezevic
Age when you first dunked: 16
How tall you really are, if the doctor measured you barefoot: 6-2
How many pairs of basketball shoes you own: 4
Coolest place you’ve been to play basketball: Istanbul, Turkey
Besides Cal, the Pac-10 school with the best basketball fans: Oregon. Even last year, their (record) wasn’t that good, but it’s always loud there.
The worst: Oregon State

Best concert you ever saw: The Gypsy Kings . . . it was amazing.
Least favorite kind of music: I don’t like country music.
Favorite meal your mother cooks: It’s called podvarak. It’s baked cabbage with pork. It’s usually during the winter time, so it really reminds me of home and the holidays.

Food you will not eat: Some Chinese stuff.
Three people in history you’d like to have dinner with: I love history. Richard Nixon — I would love to see what his thoughts were on Watergate. JFK. And maybe Lenin or Stalin, to see how their minds were working when they set up communism.

The best athlete: PC
The best looking: I am

Jeff, you should have asked him if he’s seen Superbad! He’s like Michael Cera’s clone

Great idea and lots of fun. One suggestion: ask something about their classes at Cal. Favorite? Hardest? Most important? That stuff would be very interesting to all of us alums.

something immediately happens, good or bad, when he is in the game. I always look forward to him playing. he will follow a great drive and pass with getting stripped on a routine dribble. He isn’t much a shooter but quiclky canned a couple treys in Az last year. He can contribute to a good team. I just hope he finally harnesses his above average athletic ability. who cares about classes? ask him to compare norcal and serbian babes.

Great questions, I’m looking forward to some of the responses from the rest of the team, especially someone like baby Yao, I mean Max Zhang.
