How Goran Dragić found out he was the new Captain of The Slovenian National Basketball Team

Slovenia National Basketball Team dedicated the whole of yesterday to the media. Having an open practice, doing interviews, some photo shooting and in the evening recording a commercial that will probably be some sort of sequel to last year's hit.

During the interview part someone asked coach Zdovc who will be the new team captain. Without hesitation Zdovc voiced his decision: "Goran Dragić, and when Gogi is not there his replacement will be Domen Lorbek".

Congrats were in order and when someone finally got to Gogi, his reaction might surprise you: "Who said I'm gonna be captain? I didn't know about it yet. Is it true? You're the first one to tell me." - like the news apparently surprised him.

"Great, I'm happy. As captain you have to be a leader on the floor. The young guys have to be pushed to work hard at practices and give their all even when it gets hard. I've already played the part on court. After Nesterović and Laković I'm taking over the role and it feels good. Being the first to lead your teammmates on the floor is something special. I'm honoured Zdovc trusted me with this role." he ended with a smile on his face.

To commemorate the special occasion I made some fan art:
