Would Greg Hire make another teams roster?

Yes he can be and the topic after tonight is dumb, and yes most Aussies are still racially sensitive and bigoted about EU names.

^^^^^ WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ^^^^^

is this the inspiration for greg's hairstyle ?

I could not remember what he reminded me of, and then this popped up into my tiny tiny brain.

"It's their name. Why does it matter to you?"

Why are the anglos of this country even to this day so negative towards "'other' surnames"? It really irks me this exists and thus people feel pressure to change. My family never changed ours and never will. Never taking s##t from any anglo racists.

Last sentence should read:

where he can once again pour beers on opposition players at NBL basketball games

;)

From all the alternative facts being prescribed in this thread I'm going to assume Mr. Hirovski had to change his surname after he relocated himself and his from Wollongong to Perth.

The move was possibly prompted out of concern for his son's future employment prospects and deep down Mr Hire, nee Hirovski, yearns to return to the Gong with his family (where he can once again boo opposition players at NBL basketball games).

Race in determining who gets a job may not be totally gone but is of lesser relevance these days I think. If anything, I've found being a male presents difficulties these days as companies employ women where possible to make them present as diverse and fair

"True but that era has gone by us now."

Yes, racism became extinct in the mid-2000s until that pesky Obama brought it back with his divisive actions...

True but that era has gone by us now.

"Why can't people have whatever name they want?"

heritage/ethnic background/respect to your ancestors/who you really are/not pandering to being a sheep by "homogenising" your name

If only that were true!

True but that era has gone by us now.

"heritage/ethnic background/respect to your ancestors/who you really are/not pandering to being a sheep by "homogenising" your name"

When your employment opportunities suffer significantly when you have a ethnic name then it can make sense to change it.

I don't like it!

Elect my party. I'll fix this up. Foreign bastards. I know my ideals are based in the 1970s, but what the hell.

"Why can't people have whatever name they want?"

Understandable considering most people posting here think basketball is all about gettin' dem buckets.

A valuable role player who does all the little things most superstars won't do is so important.

Absolutely not. We can't understand how he's the vice captain of the Cats....

Hire would absolutely make any roster in the league. I would guess that every coach in the league values what he brings off the bench.

Why can't people have whatever name they want?

Which newspaper was this in? Anyone have a link?

I never new that and yes I agree with you.

of their heritage

oh ok yeah seems strange re: Hawks

Nothing against personally them but a pet peeve of mine is ppl anglicising their surnames as if they are embarrassed.

Ok I'm following you now. As far as I know Greg was born in Perth. I don't personally know them that well but my brother did very well. Not sure exactly why his dad follows the Hawks lol but then again my Dad followed Geelong in the AFL despite having no connections there.

You indicated his dad is a Hawks fan. So he is originally from Illawarra? In the newspaper there was a bio story on Greg and his real surname, which his dad changed. So my comment was chances are he doesn't care for any history (gong) if he changed his family name.

I have no idea on whatever it is that your on about. Lol

Yeah let's change our surname in fear of what a few ignorant skippys may think about it. lame

Good for him!

Hire surname is anglicised

? Wtf do surnames have to do with anything.

Assuming he is originally from there (above implies so), that is.

His dad doesn't care about history, e.g. changing his surname.

That's not what I was implying lol

Because the Hawks would want to appease Greg's dad lol

Greg's dad is a massive Hawks supporter, I'm sure he would love him to go there.

Hirovski. "Hire".... lol is he a rentboy?

No, wouldn't make the 36ers roster Bullets maybe.

There are worse players in the league but I think it's Wildcats or nothing for Greg.

Absolutely he would. He's one of the best rebounders out there and his 3pt shooting is semi-respectable. Don't forget we saw guys like Te Rangi, Moller, Odigie, Garlepp and Ellis get regular minutes on other teams.

"Dazzed talking thru his arse again about nothing he knows factually. Just like the NBL."

This makes no sense. English not your first language?

Hire isn't even the worst player on his own team...

Indominus-Rex have you seen a guy by the name of Doyle who plays for Adelaide now he is the worst player in the league.

Greg 'the hack' hire can come down and join my wednesday night social comp team in betoota. Although he might find someone would probably actually go after him when he invariably does something dirty.

And really, people should have a look at the end of the bench in some other teams before throwing stones at Hire.

Yes, he plays his role and from all accounts sets a high standard as a Profesional athlete, things that she highly valued.

Clearly not a starter, but I see him a a jared dudley type, similar roles not skills.

No. He's the worst player in the league.

Dazzed talking thru his arse again about nothing he knows factually. Just like the NBL.

All but Adelaide, NZ and Melbourne however I question whether Greg would receive sufficient consideration to relocate away from Perth.

I can imagine him in an assistant coaching role or front office position at Perth moreso than in an opposing team's uniform.

Over half his shots have been 3pts. He has hit 16/40 @ 40%. Id say in limited minutes he is helping spread the floor. Teams that share your mentality are paying the price.
