NBA Players Who Couldn't Speak English At First 

you're having an entire video about funny (talking) European big men without including the biggest of them all: Boban

YES.

People from region where he is from tend to have higher pitch words (a lot of them) and to talk slowly to very slowly.

He let's his skills speak for him

It's a common issue for any non native speaker. Where your native tongue comes to you naturally as you grow up and start to speak, 2nd or 3rd languages are often learned in a more formated way(school,tutor,college etc.) which leads to this situation where the person is unable to express their emotions properly through speech, so they end up sounding somewhat monotone. I am a native Lithuanian speaker, but have lived in an english speaking country for most of my life. Whilst day to day you can't tell I'm not a native speaker, if I try to be expressive(Like sing a song etc.) I sound very flat. Yet when singing in Lithuanian I have way more range. Yet if you asked me which language am I more comfortable speaking, I would say English. It is my primary language that I use daily, with Lithuanian reserved to talking with extended family most of the time.

Higher pitched* Please speak English.

Sorry sir. no speak ingles gud

Is he serb or mtNegrian or sumpin else?

@@Soren_Skarsgard He's from Montenegro, but declares himself as a Serbian. He now lives in Belgrade and has Serbian citizenship. He was the vice-president of the Serbian Olympic Committee, and I think he now holds a position in the Basketball Federation of Serbia.

Meh. If you speak Greek, English isn't really necessary.

His parents are from Nigeria and they spoke English in his home

Most of the vocab though is romance in origin. Not really that surprising when you look at the ruling class throughout the ages.

Slavic languages are spoken in the Balkans + Greek, Romanian and Albanian, but I guess bball isn't too popular in Romania and Albania.

yeah it's both.

Arap je zakon... šta imaš protiv tabaka?

No one speaks serbian

Pichka mater!

Hehe

That's precisely why Serbian players don't want foreigners on the Serbian team.
