Novak Djokovic might be getting a Montenegrin passport as someone who is very fond of the country and spends time there.
Many Serbians enjoy Montenegro because the country used to be part of Serbia. Many years ago, the countries were part of a much bigger one called Yugoslavia. Even when countries like Slovenia and Croatia left, the name remained until 2003, when it changed to Serbia and Montenegro.
In 2006, the country gained independence, but there are a lot of Serbians still living there. According to reports, Djokovic's family line is connected to the country, with extended family members still living there.
In any case, the Serbian enjoys spending time there and was there this summer before travelling to Cincinnati, where he'd win the trophy . The country's Prime Minister, Dritan Abazovic, is keen to make the move as he's been handing out passports to several Serbian athletes.
Noted basketball player Vlade Divac got one earlier.

Ya can't Really blame soccer stars like Neymar for flopping worse than Vlade Divac in the '90s ... because there's a really smart reason behind the fake pain -- so says Trevor Noah. The 34-year-old 'Daily Show' host is a massive soccer fan -- and has thought long and hard about the flopping epidemic that's taken over the World Cup ... particularly in regards to the Brazilian superstar. You gotta watch Noah break it down outside...

I want Hayley from "The Amazing Race" to be my new Waze voice. Is that so much to ask? Fox keeps teasing me with Waze voices from their shows -- Terry Crews, Tom Mison, Will Forte -- and then pulling them for no good reason. Right now I'm using Vlade Divac and as funny as Vlade has been at times over the years, his directions aren't amusing me and he bumbles "left" and "right" in ways that leave me a bit perplexed, which would cause a real problem were it not for the reality that I rely on Waze to give me a few major points, but I often ignore the little things, like when Waze tries to get me to take left turns onto crowded intersections without lights. I want Hayley from "The Amazing Race" as my Waze voice so that she can keep telling me the correct way...

After 18 years Space Jam is actually going to get a sequel. This time around it will star NBA superstar Labron James. Space Jam was released in 1996 and it starred Michael Jordan and a few other NBA players such as Larry Bird, Patrick Ewing, Charles Barkley, Danny Ainge, Tyron “Muggsy” Bogues, Vlade Divac, Cedric Ceballos, Larry Johnson, Shawn Bradley and Paul West acting along side Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig and the rest of the Looney Tunes gang.
The first Space Jam movie made over $230 million, and I'm surprised they didn't make a sequel sooner. Space Jam was kind of a terrible film, but I can't deny that it was a ton of fun to watch. Like several others, I was a huge fan of basketball and the Looney Tunes growing up so of course it was exciting to see these two worlds collide.
The movie is being developed by Charlie Ebersol,...

I first started seriously following the NBA in the early-mid '90s, and two of my favorite non-Knicks players were the subject of this week's "30 for 30" film, "Once Brothers," a review of which is coming up just as soon as I shoot a commercial with Magic... I liked Vlade Divac because he was weirdly slovenly for an athlete (I half expected to see a cigarette dangling from his mouth as he ran up the court), because the contrast of his talent and erratic play frustrated Magic Johnson in a way that always seeemed amusing and because when he was playing really...

A low-octane ''Get Smart'' in a rusty ''L.A. Story'' frame, ''Driving Me Crazy'' is a dummkopf comedy starring German talk-show personality Thomas Gottschalk. While it's tough to knock a production that features the motion picture debut of Los Angeles Lakers center Vlade Divac, this one is a low-laugh emission that will sputter straight to the video shelf.
In this post-Berlin Wall yokker, Gottschalk stars as Gunther Schmitt, a small-town German inventor whose barn-built, Rube Goldberg-ish car defies the terms of ''German engineering.'' While it has the bulky build of the standard Eastern bloc brute, this contraption runs on vegetables, and when shifted into uberdrivecan peel out at 200 mph.
In short, it's just the car for Los Angeles, Gunther reasons. So, the intrepid inventor heads off for a big-time auto show to peddle his car for, hopefully, $50 million or so. While a veggie-propelled vehicle is just what the land of smog and nuts indeed needs, green Gunther soon runs into Southern California social reality -- namely, car theft. His grand invention is purloined by a Bel-Air lout (Dom DeLuise) who holds the car up for auction to the big-time carmakers.
There's no denying that this goofy assemblage has its charms -- dumb jokes, sight gags and plenty of turnips -- but, for the most part, it wipes out with an exhaustive trail of variety show-level bits and tired jabs at Southern California.
The melanges de genres cast -- Billy Dee Williams, Michelle Johnson, DeLuise, Morton Downey Jr. and George Christy -- is sporadically amusing but is generally waylaid by the screenwriters' (R.M. London, David Tausik, Jon Turtletaub) sludgy humor. In addition, director Turtletaub never seems to get out of first gear visually.
Tech contributions add some needed combustion, particularly Wolfgang Heinz' appropriately dopey production design and Michelle Kurpaska's fittingly garish costumes.
