Drazen Petrovic

En 1993, un camión saltouse a mediana dunha autopista Alemana e chocou contra un coche no que estaba Drazen Petrovic, o xogador de Baloncesto de 28 anos, que faleceu no acto. Foi para min sen nengunha dúbida o máis profesional da historia do Baloncesto Europeo, e tamén o mellor.

A selección de Yugoslavia gañou con Petrovic de Estrela o Campeonato de Europa do 1989, o Mundial de 1990 e o Europeo de 1991. Nese momento desfixose Yugoslavia. Coa selección de Croacia foi medalla de Ouro olímpica, e se tedes grabada a final, veredes o que foi Drazen. Contra Jordan, Magic, Stockton, Malone, Ewing, Barkley, Mullin, Drexler, Pipen... en vez de sacarse fotos con eles se dedicaron a pelear balón a balón, incluso chegaron a poñerse por diante a metade da primeira parte.

Os seus records non creo que sean superados, os 62 puntos na final da recopa, video que teño en formato dixital (imprescindible para madrilistas), foron impresionantes, e é certo que ainda tiña 24 anos e moito que mellorar. tamén os 112 puntos que meteu na liga Yugoslava no partido contra o Olimpia , non creo que sean mellorados

A sua ética de traballo, como manexaba o ritmo do partido ou como estabas seguro que non fallaba o tiro decisivo... Como os datos quedan, repasade e asombradevos
