For all of my friends who are Suns' fans:

The Goran Dragic Music Video You Can't Miss

http://www.nba.com/suns/goran-dragic-music-video-you-cant-miss

There are plenty of things you will see online this week that, while interesting, are simply not true.

That's the plight of the calendar shifting from March to April. And while every two-bit comedian and marketing firm will try to get you to buy into some poorly crafted joke, what we're about to show you is 100% real.

There is a Goran Dragic music video, and it is glorious. As a matter of fact, it may be the best crafted joke you see all week and you likely won't even understand a word of it.

After we saw it for the first time we had to go straight to the man himself, no, not the guy who made it, the guy who was the subject of it and find out what it is all about.

According to Dragic, the video is from a Slovenian comedian and impersonator named Klemen Slakonja -- we're guessing is the foreign equivalent to Frank Caliendo minus the Jon Gruden impression -- who has a national television show. The guard said a lot of it, including the scenes with the stone dragons, are filmed in his hometown. And, while we couldn't get him to sing it, the Dragon told us the lyrics are satirically praising his evolution as a basketball player.

Great Clip :D

It's still hurtig my ears every time I hear someone spell Dragic like "Magic"... But it's much easier to know the right way, if you're living in Europe I guess ;)

It sounds like he pronounced Dragic to rhyme with Magic, which was tragic.

Most of the time, he pronounced it correctly as Drag-itch, didn't he? :)

As an American, it bugs me to no end when announcers mispronounce his name. A lot of times, even the same broadcast team will have one guy saying it right and the other guy saying it wrong. The Knicks' broadcasters Mike Breen and Walt Frazier for example.

Even Steve Albert doesn't spend it properly.

Funny stuff. When I hear Dragic talk, he often references his underdog type role likened to his home country, Slovenia. I think this helps fuel his fire.

During his rookie year, Dragic was continuously called "Drag-eeech" by some knucklehead announcer. Since then, he is often referred to as "Geech" around my house.

Not unlike Cap'n Geech from the famous surf-rock band Cap'n Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters.
