Drazen Petrovic: The Untold Story (Extended Version)

[@dusanmaruncic1966]

Najbolji europski igrač svih vremena i među pet na svitu.👑👑♥️🇭🇷👍

[@randomcro24]

this was so touching thank you

[@patrickvuyancih8439]

As a Croatian-American basketball player myself I couldn't have been prouder of what he was accomplishing! He inspired so many of us here in Cleveland where there has been a Croatian community since the late 1800's. Sadly, tragically, he was gone too soon! RIP

[@dionysise5008]

i remember the day he passed away. i was 14. cant describe how much of a shock it was for European bball fans. i think many people, including me, never fully got over it. RIP Drazen. you live among stars now. maybe earths stars weren't enough bright for your talents

[@markingersoll2671]

Yeah, it was such a crazy and somber day. Couldn't believe it, I had been hearing about him for years in Europe. We only got glimpses of him in international competitions. When we finally got him in Portland, I couldn't believe how Rick Adelman failed to use him! It was mind boggling!

[@Kaniala-l7s]

Hvala ti Drazene za sve, a pogotovo za vatreno srce I dusu s kojom si igrao.

[@jardindorado]

I'm from Madrid and I had to suffer him as an opponent most of the time until he became a Real Madrid player. From then on, everything changed from hating him to loving him and, of course, I was shocked and sad when he died. We had already suffered the death of Fernando Martín the same way. Without any doubt, Drazen is the best European player ever. I'll never forget him.

[@drewbranch7700]

As a kid growing in New York and where basketball is a practically a religion. Where I used to watch games during the summer at Ruckus Park,a basketball purist at heart. I would say,Drazen was a sensational player and certainly prolific. I still remember the breaking news on espn about his tragedy,I was numb and could not believe it,what a player! My man could ball.

What an amazing man and basketball player was Dražen. I am happy that I saw him playing for Šibenika and for Cibona....and for both, Yugoslavian and Croatian National Teams. R.I.P Dražen Petrović

[@richardkrivik7032]

I was 14 years old when he passed away..and I was a second devision bball player that time. Till now and still Forever I will miss him..Look up to him and Still Proud of him.. He Still live in my heart as an Eastern European..(I’m a Hungarian) RIP the Best EU nba Player

This bloke fave the way for all European players. This bloke is a true legend

[@Firebird2001]

Fantastic!! Long live Drazen!!!!

[@Breeder333]

I watched Draz as a Portland fan and am still upset they traded him. We were so lucky that we got to see a flash of his greatness and I wish he had another 5 years to show the world what his potential really was! Forever young Draz. You will NEVER be forgotten!

[@markingersoll2671]

It was mind boggling that Adelman failed to use him.

[@williamdavis9562]

The Nets were my favorite team as a kid even though they weren't very good. Drazen was a special player that gave my Nets a chance to become a top team. His death really gutted me as a 13 year old. Thank you TRT for making this documentary, he was truly a revolutionary player.

[@manuelohim]

Dražen Petrović, NEPONOVLJIV!

[@33neptun]

Man, this was touching..this hug between two important women in Dražen's short life.......

[@chocolatetownforever7537]

What a great documentary. Amazing job.

[@yamashina96]

Today would be his birthday. I was born after he died but still he is for me the best basketball player and not just a best basketball player which my country will ever have but the one who will never be forgotten. He was also a great person as I can see from videos & his mom's talks. I am lucky to meet his mom in his museum 11 years ago and i feel like she made me love and respect him even more..because his mom brings me that energy what he had on cort. There will be no one like him in this game & general in life & croatian & world wide sport. I also feel lucky to actually have my birthday on same week that he has..only 3 days diffrence betwen us. God bless your soul Drazen! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! ❤️😭 SRETAN ROĐENDAN KAPETANE!

[@intersanctum]

One of the greatest? GREATEST without any doubt, and he died when he was 28.

Portland’s wasted opportunity. If only the Blazers had kept him, he could be Jordan’s headache in the 92 NBA Finals.

[@thenobleone-3384]

He started early in the Euro league they start earlier than the NBA. They don't make as much though like NBA players but my favorite European players are Danilo and Marco. They make the Italian national team great

It wasn't a good fit for Danilo in NY but hopefully he career ends well I remember the day David Stern announced his name. Marco is a great shooter and defender. Did well for San Antonio

[@nekipanic]

A otkud ti ideja da se Dražen nije osećao i Srbinom i Hrvatom?! Gde je on to rekao da se oseća Hrvatom, a da ne voli Srbe?

[@emmanuelvilla5048]

The reason Drazen died was of greed and money! The lady in pink knowns the whole story!!!! He was shot in the home she was staying at and pretty sure Drazen was the one paying that home! It started because Drazen protect the kids! The argument started in the kitchen and it ended with him being shot in the abdominal area crawling out that home, all the way to the sidewalk by the mailbox in-front of the house by the curve, with gun shoot wounds; while the car in red driving his way as he crawled up to the sidewalk! His last words was "it was your fault, to the one in the red car he said. As he laid on the sidewalk with gun shoot wounds". The crash was a cover up!

[@iggggi]

His father is Serbian. I am sad because he feels like Croatian.

[@robotube7361]

He was born in Croatia , spent all his life in Croatia so why in the hell would he declare to be Serbian. The only connection with Serbia is that his father was Bosnian Serb who basically lived most of his life in Croatia.

Ha was very good player, but what happened to him at the end is pure karma. He stabbed Vlade Divac in the back. Divac was not only his best friend but also a Mentor and like a Father to him for a decade!

[@mirzetakuckovic1371]

Kakva li ce onda karma zadesiti tebe i tebi slicnim. SRAM TE BILO😡

[@maksimiro2541]

What an unbelievable lie! Divac was never ever Dražen's best friend! In childhood, that was Neven Spahija, later bball coach, and in sport days, that was his national team buddy, Stojko Vranković! How could Divac be like father to Dražen, who was 4 years older than Divac, you idiot?! Divac was Mentor to Dražen?! So, your'e saying that 4 years younger center was Mentor to famous guard/shooter, who played (and starred already!) strong Yugoslav league at his 15, when Divac was 11?!?!?! Clarke Guest, you must be an idiot. Or a Serbian nazi, whit english nickname.

[@maksimiro2541]

And about stabbing in the back: yes, that happened. Only, Vlade Divac (croatian name and first name (notice "ikavica" one of three main croatian regional slangs), but no, he's not croatian :D) stabbed Dražen in his back! At this one game, Dražen was thrown down on the floor and while he was down, Vlade Divac deliberately stepped on Dražen! Dražen himself has told that to his family and friends. Actually, to his BEST FRIEND Vranković. Not Divac. And that was the end of the story! Dražen was shocked and he didn't forgive that to Divac. "Once brothers" film is a lie. So, Serbian nazi, "Clarke Guest", go to hell with your deliberate evil doing. Funny you should mention karma. Look what is going to happened to you ;)
