Michael WallacePANELIST
And when you look at the top 10 that I put together on this one, man, listen, it was hard to get to 10, but these guys have done a phenomenal job under some difficult circumstances, considering all the injuries that are ravaging the league right now.
Michael WallacePANELIST
Coming in at number 10, Darko Rajakovic, the former Grizzlies coach, assistant coach, who's now with the Toronto Raptors, not having Kawhi Leonard for the last four games.
Michael WallacePANELIST
He might not have him for another month.
Michael WallacePANELIST
but he still has the Raptors being competitive right there.
Dan BesbrisHOST
The big issue is, is Colin Murray-Boyle going to see any time at a spot besides center? And right now, it's not looking like it, even though they said he was going to.
Dan BesbrisHOST
Darko Rajakovic, before the season, was just like, yeah, he's going to do some minutes at the four and the five.
Dan BesbrisHOST
If it's just the five, the whole thing gets a little more complicated.
Dan BesbrisHOST
But if it's truly both, then, you know, we'll let it ride.
Mike RoachHOST
Let me see what else I can get here.
Mike RoachHOST
Can I get some Darko?
Darko RajakovicSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
This is shame.
Darko RajakovicSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Shame for the referees.
9 MINS LATER
Mike RoachHOST
One rebound.
Mike RoachHOST
I'm sorry.
Mike RoachHOST
I mean, where's Darko, damn it? Let me see if my Darko stuff is going to work.
Mike RoachHOST
Darko, can you...
Mike RoachHOST
It's a complete crap.
Mike RoachHOST
What else we got? Darko, what else you got? It's completely BS.
Mike RoachHOST
This is shame.
Mike RoachHOST
Shame for the referees.
14 MINS LATER
Mike RoachHOST
And I'm like, oh, boy, here we go again.
Mike RoachHOST
Here we go again.
Mike RoachHOST
But Darko gave him a bit of a longer leash, kept him out there just a little bit longer.
Mike RoachHOST
And he ended up kind of weathering the storm a little bit out there.
José Volta e PintoCORRESPONDENT
Mas já o vimos também a fechar jogos, portanto será aqui uma questão mais de, se quisermos, estatuto de um jogador como Robinson que chegou campeão e também já tem mais alguns anos de liga.
José Volta e PintoCORRESPONDENT
Na NBA também continua Mary Andrade, neste caso no banco dos Toronto Raptors, renovou até 2030 e entra agora na quarta época como adjunta de Darko Rajakovic e continua no papel dedicado mais ao desenvolvimento individual de jogadores, uma equipa que este ano se reforçou e que também, nomeadamente a chegada de Kawhi Leonard, com quem a equipa foi campeã em 2019 e portanto aqui com essa representação portuguesa, uma das três adjuntas, mulheres adjuntas na NBA, portanto aqui também com esse papel muito importante de representatividade e de abertura de portas para futuras mulheres treinadoras e portanto teremos aqui essa outra ligação portuguesa, a Mary Andrade, que numa entrevista à Bola, ao jornalista Miguel Candeias, revelou por exemplo que quando joga com onomias, contra onomias neste caso, com os Celtics, costumam levar pastéis de nata, portanto aqui muita representação portuguesa na NBA.
José Volta e PintoCORRESPONDENT
Passemos agora a uma volta pela NCAA, o basquetebol universitário norte-americano e comecemos por Ruben Prey, o poste internacional entra agora no terceiro ano em St. John's, nos Red Storm, com um estatuto à partida que nunca teve Rick Patino, o treinador, confia no português para ser titular.
José Volta e PintoCORRESPONDENT
É porque a passada voltou a ser uma também ainda de aprendizagem, desenvolvimento.
FabHOST
So I'm not going to say a player here, but I'm interested...
FabHOST
So Darko Ryakovic, he is the favorite to win Coach of the Year.
FabHOST
And I'm very interested to see how he handles this season.
FabHOST
Managing Kawhi, integrating the younger guys...
HamboneHOST
And
HeinHOST
then take RJ coming off the bench.
HamboneHOST
Whatever formula you want to go down, I think that also plays into Fab's point about Darko and how he kind of manages all these pieces.
HeinHOST
So Wes and I spoke with Jacoby at Media Day, and we kind of asked him about that playoff experience.
Alvin WilliamsGUEST
So I'm excited for him.
Brent GunningHOST
How different is the job Darko has this year in coaching this team? You know, it's been a slow build with this Raptors team, and there's been so much of it where it's like the players and him have been along for very much the same ride together.
Brent GunningHOST
You know, look, a star walks into any locker room in pro sports, it matters.
Brent GunningHOST
Nothing feels like it matters as much as the NBA star walking in just because of the outsized impact.
Brent GunningHOST
they can have on a game.
Brent GunningHOST
You know, I don't by any means think Kawhi is going to make this difficult or he'd rather not have him.
Brent GunningHOST
But man, it's remarkable how different the job of coaching this team is going to be this year than any of the previous years for Darko here in Toronto.
Alvin WilliamsGUEST
Yeah, Darko is in a great position.
Conor McKennaHOST
Did you hear about this? Kawhi Leonard is back with the Raptors.
Conor McKennaHOST
Here is Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic.
Conor McKennaHOST
Rajakovic? Rajakovic, right? Sure.
Conor McKennaHOST
Here's Darko anyway.
Shaun StarrHOST
There you go.
Shaun StarrHOST
It's, uh, Darko, uh, Rajakovic's-
Dwight WaltonGUEST
Yep
Shaun StarrHOST
... neighbor Stuart, who's a pain in his you know what.
Shaun StarrHOST
...
Shaun StarrHOST
Rajakovic's neighbor Stuart, who's a pain in his you know what.
Darko RajakovicSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

Shaun StarrHOST
