The third degree with ... Marko Jaric.(Know It All)(Interview)
He turns 26 this month, but the Clippers 'starting point guard has been playing professionally since 1996. Born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, the 6-7 Jaric played two seasons in Greece and four in Italy before joining the Clippers. Since arriving in the NBA two years ago, his statistics across the board have grown steadily--along with his (some would say stylish) hair.
TSN: Let's say I'm a fan in, oh, Detroit, and I hit you in the face with, I don't know, a cup of ice. How badly do you beat me down?
JARIC: You know what? It's tough not to react in that situation. Especially during the game, your adrenaline is so high it's hard to calm down. I'm sure those players felt sorry after it was over. In the moment, it's hard to control yourself. Maybe I'd react the same way they did. Each player's very proud. Nobody will accept that kind of disrespect.
TSN: So you'd leap into the stands and crush me?
JARIC: I hope not.
TSN: Your father, Srecko Jaric, is considered by many to be one of the greatest international basketball players ever. How good was his game?
JARIC: He was a great player, with a very, very high IQ. My game is much more based on athleticism; he was supersmart and always knew exactly where to be on the floor at any moment.
