Dario Saric has funny English misnomer after game-saving block against Spain

dario-saric

Dario Saric saved the day for Croatia on Saturday with a game-winning block on Pau Gasol in the closing seconds to secure the upset victory over Spain in Group B of the men’s basketball tournament at Rio. But his English could probably still use some touching up.

Speaking with reporters after the game, Saric dropped a comical misnomer when attempting to describe how sweet his clutch rejection was, per Michael Lee of The Vertical.

As delicious as cherry cake sounds, I highly doubt that was the proper idiomatic usage by the 22-year-old. Then again, Saric, who will finally be making the leap to the NBA and joining the Sixers next season, has been showing out on the international level recently, so he’s probably more than content to let his game do all the talking.
