банка – pronounced “banka” – is Serbian for bank. It is also, hopefully, what Bogdan Bogdanovic yelled the split-second before he let loose with a three-quarter court heave that banked in at the end of the second-quarter against Unicaja.
Bogdanovic is the younger brother completely unrelated to Bojan Bogdanovic of the Brooklyn Nets. His rights are owned by the Phoenix Suns, and though it’s likely he won’t come over for a few years – his buyout from Fenerbahce is fairly large until 2016 – that just means he’ll have plenty of time to learn how to say “bank” in English.
