Phoenix Suns’ Goran Dragic says brother Zoran plays dirty
By Bryan Rose
It appears as if Phoenix Suns point guard Goran Dragic wanted to give fair warning to those around the league who’ll be guarding his brother, Zoran Dragic.

The younger Dragic, who signed a two-year contract with the Phoenix Suns last week is apparently a dirty player. That’s the word from Goran who told Paul Coro he’s happy he doesn’t have to play against him because of his style of play.
Speaking about playing one-on-one, Goran explained why he stopped playing against his brother at an early age.
"He could not tell you whether Zoran is capable of beating him in one-on-one any longer because he avoids playing him.“I don’t want to play against him because now he’s a little bit of a dirty player,” Goran said. “He gives you elbows.”"
While it’s good news for Goran that he won’t have to play against Zoran in game action, he’s still going to have to guard him during practice. I’m guessing the dirty play doesn’t extend to the practice court however or the Phoenix Suns might lose all of their talented point guards to broken teeth and shattered noses.
European basketball players have routinely been suggested to be ‘soft’ though that’s a sentiment that appears to be changing very quickly, especially with talent like Zoran Dragic who looks ready to dish out some assists and black eyes this year.
