Drazen Petrovic (Real Madrid) VS BOSTON CELTICS & Bird - 1988

[@aleksandarjankovski6542]

Many have commented on the speed with which Drazen played. True. Some, I trust, have mentioned his handles. They were really tight. But I think it very important to note his heart and just maniacal self-belief born out of his equally as maniacal work ethic. This man, in 1989, had the full belief that he can take on DJ and run circles around him -- one of NBA's best defenders. I love his heart!

[@CroPETROforeverNBA]

True, great comment.

[@emmanuelenyinwa1443]

His "heart and determination". WHY? Because he is WHITE? His SPEED and skills stood out. Michael Cooper had HEART and determination. Petro was an ARTIST like Magic. Take off your American race theories and open your EYES. This man made Dennis Johnson and Michael Jordan look slow. Believe me, it was not "heart and determination", but SPEED.

[@aleksandarjankovski6542]

@@emmanuelenyinwa1443”American race theories?” Man!!!! What on earth are you talking about. Yes. He had speed. But what set him apart was his maniacal work ethic. Dude was insane workaholic. So yeah, heart and determination. And just for your information, I lived in Yugoslavia when Deažen was just starting. So get over yourself with your nonsense about American race theories. What an astoundingly inane comment.

[@aleksandarjankovski6542]

@@emmanuelenyinwa1443By the way: Dražen would have been the first one to tell you that his talent, while appreciable, would have taken him nowhere had it not been for his heart, determination, and, as I put it, maniacal work ethic. Just ask his teammates if you don’t believe me. His work ethic was legendary, like all true greats.

He was so much faster here at 24 and it's visible that he plays in a weird rythm for his new team (Real) that he humiliated on regular basis in previous years, so he is yet to have figured it out in his own roster, with a lot of jealous players around him. It's visible he is deferring when he should not, instead of shooting it whenever he felt like it. He was already back then a plug and play 25 PPG shooter NBA level, but the league was isolationist back then, so Portland benched him and he regressed a ton before reasserting himself with the Nets. But right at that very moment, he was a monster.

Ok... don't be distespectful. Drazen was a beast and could not be stopped and I agree he would get his numbers anytime against anyone.

[@petr79]

@@Luckymag-if4dw At ages 18-23 back then European players were on par with American players and in some cases they had more experience because they played against mature players in their domestic and international leagues. But once American players entered the NBA, training regiment was totally different. European basketball was amateur back then , becoming pro in the early 90s only. Eg in 1988 Soviet Union beat team USA that included many later NBA and Dream Team champions. That was quite a feat if you take intro consideration that USA in 1984 with college Michael Jordan swept the competition.

[@CroPETROforeverNBA]

@@Luckymag-if4dw Haha ok... I think both you and me know very well, that THIS PETROVIC from Real, playing with Wilkins in 80s in Atlanta, would give LIVING HELL to this Boston, I would pay my entire house, or bet my entire house, that Atlanta would win that series against Boston, I just took Atlanta as example. Bird was genius, as Magic, but Drazen from Europe was basketball killing machine like no one has ever seen. My only regret remains he never managed to face Jordan in 80's when Drazen was playin in Europe, I would gladly see that match, Jordan vs Petrovic from Europe MANO A MANO to prove my point.

Nobody is comparing Bird to Drazen... But don't get me wrong Drazen was a master and had a short NBA career so nobody can say But given 10 years in the NBA and we would be talking about a huge legend... Add those European years in his beginning and he belongs with the NBA legends....He was skill and one of the best shooters the NBA will ever see..Like a Mashine!!!

[@andreaspapadakis2602]

you obviously dont know much about fiba basketball..let me inform you that Drajen is considered way superior to Parker period..Around the same exact time in fiba there were 3 more playersthat would have been elite in NBA..Oscar,Galis and Sabonic..Petrovic is not comparable to Bird since he is a sg/pg but Oscar is and by all standards and according to Bird himself and Kobe he could have been as lethal as Bird..Galis could outscore everyone even in the NBA exept Jordan as a solo scoring machine and Sabonic was definetely better than Robinson beyond a shadow of a doubt ,just watch them play against each other at 1988 olympics same exact age..question marks on Hakeem and Shaq..all of them are in the naismith HOF.

@@andreaspapadakis2602 I know European basketball is like everything else European. Overly restricted. Judging by the officiating , I would believe closer to soccer.

[@JC-xh9mp]

@@andreaspapadakis2602 Arvedyas Sabonis was an exceptional basketball player. But this guy was nowhere near comparable to Larry Bird. You can try and rationalize it anyway you want.

[@andreaspapadakis2602]

@@JC-xh9mp i never argued that..i said Oscar could be compared to Bird according to Bird saying so..and that Petrovic was elite even for nba standards..the funny thing is that he is still considered the best ex yugoslavian bb player of all times ,including Doncic and Jokic!

[@santiagoblasgilabert2877]

Doncič es mejor que ellos.

[@stevaziramov765]

Kakva je mašina bio Dražen,danas pomalo Dončić podseća na njega kao da je gledao njegove pokrete...
