That is pretty cool. For the younger members of the board who likely never saw Petrovic play, he was becoming an NBA superstar just before his untimely death. He was an assassin from beyond the arc. |

He was an assassin from beyond the arc. The guy could play but had some unreal expectations placed upon him when coming over. The media took to calling him the European Jordan. And that was when Jordan was ascending into other worldly status. He was buried on the bench in Portland and never truly got a fair shake up there. He flourished with the Nets though. For anyone interested, the documentary ESPN produced, "Once Brothers" was a fascinating look at the powerhouse Yugoslavian national team that once was and the falling out between Petrovic and Vlade Divac. Not only did that team have Petrovic and Divac, but Dino Radja and Kukoc as well. Man that team was loaded. The only thing that surpassed that team for me as a young basketball fan was the legend of Arvydas Sabonis. The stories you would read about that guy almost made him mythical. I know I'm biased, but It was great being a fan of basketball in the late 80's and into the 90's. |
