If you told me there was a term called “Serbian Shuteye”, I would naturally assume that it involved Serbians punching people so hard that they were knocked unconscious. Wouldn’t you? I mean, that’s like the only possible definition. But no. Apparently “Serbian Shuteye” involves Nikola Jokic hitting a face-up jumper in someone’s face. How disappointing.
We must redefine the term to suit our own needs. We cannot let our language be taken from us, the people. It might be too late, but is there any way we can convince Jokic to confront DeMarcus Cousins for a little locker-room throwdown? The time has long passed where an on-court fight is a possibility, but with phone cameras being ubiquitous maybe we can see the true meaning of “Serbian Shuteye”? WWE style, oh man, that would be sweet.
