PARIS – It’s no longer Nikola Vucevic’s “No. 1 language,’’ but the Bulls big man was still proficient in speaking French.
Make no mistake about it, though, when it comes to on-the-court cursing that’s where Vucevic’s Serbian still reigns supreme.
“Oh, all Serbian,’’ Vucevic responded, when asked what his language of choice is when he needs to fire one off without NBA officials knowing. “In Serbia, we have some intense curse words.’’
Just don’t ask him to play translator this week.
While Vucevic told his Bulls teammates that he will help with “accommodations and stuff,’’ he warned them to figure out the language themselves.
