Grew up in Champaign. Don’t even try to have this convo with Cards fans. I never full understood it. But it feels like it’s passed down thru generations.
Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

Fun story for the crazies on this board. Nemanja Jokic - the middle brother, Nikola is the baby bro - is a friend of mine (we workout at the same gym here in south Denver) and I was congratulating and joking with him about getting his agent license this summer, which he did, and how he needs to start funneling even more elite Euros towards Illinois. He laughed of course as we have discussed the whole Misko/Illinois connection in times past, and as you might imagine he knows Misko quite well. But as we talked about his new path he mentioned he will focus more on the college guys. He got his license as an agent for the NBA but I believe there’s another one for the NCAA that he’ll have to get next, but think that NBA license needed to be attained first if I’m not mistaken.
Nemanja hears all about the Illini-Balkan stories from me, which he honestly already knows a fair amount about, but I show him the Mirk videos that are posted on this board which always produces copious amounts of hilarity for us both. Anyways, great dude. One I will be continually talking about Illinois with as well.

Yeah, definitely animpulse control problem appears to be the biggest commonality between the two…IMO.
Seems like Knight had a more of persecution complex than Hurley…very seething and volatile. Seemed to have more of a problem with humanity itself.
Whereas Hurley is more of a breathtakingly arrogant, self-aggrandizing…near megalomaniacal pr*ck.
Both kinda batsh*t.

Knight was a psychopath. He couldn't have coached today with cell phones. He would have been in prison. Not exaggerating.
