Peja Stojakovic has faced nothing but adversities in the last 15 years starting with a war in which he and his family lost everything. In fact You can not even begin to imagine the adversities he has faced to get where he is now. From where I stand he has done well so far and he will continue do do well.
Everything else I can not comment without getting myself into trouble.
At the risk of sounding insensitive, cry me a river.
We're talking about basketball. If Peja can live through a war and every other adversity imaginable for the past 15 years, he should be able to confront Chris Webber, Doug Christie, Bobby Jackson and the GD antichrist head on, not staying away from the practice facility because 'he wants to avoid certain company'. Give me a ******' break.
And like you said, the reason he's not often seen at the practice facility is because he most often spends his offseasons out of the country. And that's probably the major reason he hasn't been seen too often this summer, not because he can't stand to be around Chris Webber.
This is a big joke, if you ask me. If Peja Stojakovic can't take a little honest-hearted criticism from someone who wants to win and wants to play basketball with him, then I don't want to hear about the adversities that he's lived through for the past 15 years. This is basketball, not civil war.
