New Raptor Primoz Brezec got in front of the media and let his hair down a little. Michael Grange of Toronto's Globe & Mail first got Rasho Nesterovic to explain why Primoz speaks in 'almost perfect gangsta slang' -- "[H]e started in Indiana. That's a pretty tough organization to pick up English." But the salvo to take from this comes from Primoz himself:"Sam Vincent, he changed it up. He wanted to go more run-and-gun. I have no problem with that, I can run three days in a row. But I think I set a record in the NBA: out of 50 games I started I didn't get the ball, I didn't get a shot off. So I was like, you know what Sam? You don't need me, you don't like me and I don't like you, so get me out of here. And see how they're doing this year?"Did a player who has been traded twice this year and has played a total of 365 minutes in 2007-08 just call 'scoreboard' on a former employer? Touche, Primoz.

Why is Brezec bashing anyone? His game sucks more than his English.

Primoz is a good roll player at 7"1 and still young could be a back up center for one of the better teams ala Mutombo (old by now) but I will not counting him out just yet.
