DRAZEN PETROVIC REGULARLY averaged 40 ppg in European leagues, once scored 112 points in a Croatian league game, and schooled every last Tom, Dick, and Radoslav on the continent It got too easy. He was done toying with the rest. In 1989, he decided to test himself against the best. Petrovic's move to the NBA to join the Portland Trail Blazers was as daring a move as Bob Dylan going electric. No European player had ever parachuted in and starred in the NBA. To many, it was tm thinkable.

Grad ibenik - Drazen Petrovic athletes from ibenik was Draen Petroviè, the Croatian basketball wizard.Born in ibenik in 1964, was the best European basketball player ever. http://www.sibenik.hr/vodic-eng/sport/drazen_petrovic.asp
Extractions: "Sibenmik always in my heart " If it's true that first love is never forgotten, then ibenik has been my first love from the beginning. Everything started there. Though I pushed my emotions to the side, I never had enough time, it's hard , impossible to forget those first days. Aco's trainings, the day I first entered the hall, all those hours I spent on the court. The ball, the basket and me. ibenik determined my career and it showed me the path. And that's a story that doesn't end. I hope, on the other hand that they will understand, because of basketball I must move on. I must close one circle in order to open another. Draen Petroviæ But, only a day later, the chiefs of the Yugoslavian Basketball Union annulled the game and it was decided that a new game would be played in Novi Sad . Draen, his teammates and the management of the club refused to go to Novi Sad , and the title was taken away, better said stolen. The medal was never returned. After that Draen went to serve in the army. In the spring of 1984, everyone already knew that Draen was leaving ibenka and many clubs wanted to see him on their court. He signed for Cibona. He brought Zagreb 8 state championships and 2 European championships; he had become Mozart. Those 4 years were phenomenal, that kind of basketball frenzy will maybe never ever repeat itself in Zagreb again.

Extractions: Hellenic Hoops Home InterBasket.Net Home InterBasket.Net Forums Comments About Nikos Galis, The Patriarch of Greek Basketball Compiled February 4, 2004 If you don't know who Nikos Galis is, please visit Stuart's wonderful Nikos Galis Player Profile from the main InterBasket.Net page. "I've seen Galis doing things that I have not seen neither Lakers nor Celtics doing." -European and NBA Hall-of-Fame player Bob McAdoo One of the best players of all times in Europe. I don't say this because he is Greek, but because that is the case. He was voted as the best European player in 1987-8 (?). In fact I remember that Alexander Petrovic (brother of Drazen Petrovic who was also a candidate for the prize that year) said: "Drazen is my own brother, but I confess that I voted for Galis!!" -Stojan-Silvij "Nifel" Koshevski "I have the feeling that if Galis wants to score a basket, he will score, no matter what the opponent does. He is always determined to succeed." -Legendary Lithuanian center Arvydas Sabonis Galis was among the 2 or 3 best European players with Drazen Petrovic. Most of the European people who know about basketball would claim at least that and probably rightly so. Who was better between them (Galis, Petrovic, Sabonis) is a subjective thing anyway. I cannot hide my preference for the first, even though the second was a much better shooter. But Galis could "balance" his body close to the basket in a unique way so he could shoot

Extractions: Career Statistics One of the most far-reaching changes in the makeup of the NBA during the 1980s was the arrival of significant numbers of talented European players, a migration greatly accelerated by the fall of communist governments in Eastern Europe. No arrival from the former Soviet bloc was more eagerly anticipated than that of Drazen Petrovic. A two-time Olympic silver medalist, the Croatian native led the national team of the former Yugoslavia before developing into one of the NBA's top shooting guards in four seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers and New Jersey Nets. However, tragedy cut his career short when he died in an automobile accident in Germany at age 28. To match the cool grace of urban American talents, the European newcomer brought tireless enthusiasm to the game, as illustrated by his fist-pumping in moments of triumph and furious agonizing over setbacks. He was not as strong defensively as his American counterparts, but he showed a penchant for daring three-point shooting. "I have never seen any pro or amateur player work as hard," Nets Assistant Coach Tom Newell told the New York Daily News. "He's the consummate pro in commitment and dedication." Petrovic had shooting skills to match his energy. In his two full seasons with New Jersey he averaged 21.4 points. In his best-and final-season, 1992-93, he led the Nets with 22.3 points per game. "Even if you were a fan of another team, you couldn't root against him," teammate Sam Bowie told the Newark Star-Ledger. "You had to be impressed by him."

Extractions: Basketball is very popular in U.S. colleges. Here, center Kent Benson of Indiana U. shoots a hook shot. Basketball is a ball sport in which, under organized rules, two teams of five players each try to score points by throwing a ball through a hoop. It is primarily an indoor sport, played in a relatively small playing area, called the court. The speed and grace of the game, combined with the close proximity of the spectators to the action, make basketball an exciting spectator sport. It is one of the most popular sports in the United States , and is also popular in other parts of the world, including South America Europe Asia , and the former Soviet republics edit edit Basketball is unusual in that it was invented by one man, rather than evolving from a different sport.

Extractions: Table of Contents Other Resources The hall of fame, founded by the National Association of Basketball Coaches, opened modestly in October, 1949, in a two-room office on the campus of Springfield College in Massachusetts, where James Naismith invented basketball in 1891. Edward J. Hickox, a former coach at the college, was the hall's unpaid secretary, nurturing the idea and collecting memorabilia. The first members were inducted in 1959 and construction of a building for the hall of fame began two years later. However, construction was halted for lack of money and a new fund-raising drive began. The building finally opened on Feb. 17, 1968. Over a 17-year period, it attracted 630,179 visitors. An $11 million building in a more easily accessible Springfield location was opened to the public on June 30, 1985. In 2002, the Hall of Fame moved into its third building, a $45 million, 80,000-square-foot facility that includes a 136-foot spire supporting a 13-foot illuminated basketball, a full-size basketball court, retail spaces, and a pedestrian bridge to Springfield's Riverfront Park. Nominees for the hall of fame are voted upon by a 24-member committee comprising trustees, media representatives, and inducted inductees.
