That's pretty great.
Also, I love these quotes:
"I’m just trying to use my body, that’s all" Pekovic said. "I’d like some more offensive rebounds."
and
"Pekovic is tough," he said. "He is strong. He uses his body and he is huge. He helps us a lot."
This is great.

My favorite moment
Is :35 in when he using his body to clear out a Dallas player (Haywood?) and finish. The Dallas guy looks up with an expression that says, “Can he do that?”
Love it.
I noticed that, too.
And I meant to go back and watch that more closely, but I keep getting distracted.

Also, hopefullt this little marketing push on Pek means they're sold on him and aren't going to trade him
If I'm pissing you off its probably sarcasm
Yes!

It's entirely speculative,
but I’ve thought that KLove’s reference to the Eastern Bloc meant both Pek and Darko. This video sure makes it look like he’s talking about just Pek, but I’m not so sure. The Eastern Bloc was a political alliance, so I’m inclined to think that KLove is smart enough to apply that tag to the two Slavs on the roster.

Could be
but I thought “bloc” was a double-entendre both in allusion to the Soviet satellites in Eastern Europe and a massive, immovable object, ie “block of granite”. Which obviously applies more to Pek than to Darko.
Could be
The more respectful thing to say would probably be to refer to both of them.
Do remember though that Love pissed off Darko last year (or was it the year before?) by writing something having to do with Serbia on the whiteboard before a game. Hopefully he’s more respectful now.

I thought it was a quote from Love that came in response to a question about Pek's recent play.
I took it as being about Pek, but that was mostly because Darko didn’t play the game after which Love made that statement.

Don t get me wrong
I like very much Love as a player and I am happy that we signed him to this (strange?) extension,but several times he gave me the impression of being an a*****e outside of the field. But,as long is a godd teammate I guess everything is fine,is a bit too cocky from what I can see
Sweet video...
Just keeps making me smile. What a brute!
