I'm sure Sabas will play as he takes the oppurtunity to play for his country
very seriously. For big Z on the otherhand, the same can not be said. Many
are hopeful that he will play this year, but he has not chose to participate
on the last few National squads. much to the dismay of Sabas. But who knows?
Maybe he'll change his mind, hopefully he'll change his mind!
