🙌 DRAŽEN PETROVIĆ | GREAT PLAYOFF PERFORMANCES - 40 point explosion 💥 v CLE on 23rd April, 1992

[@gogalevus]

People don't realize that scoring 40 + points was way more rarely in comparison to nowadays.

[@oloatis2182]

People do realize! Their not stupid, you act like you know something noone else does.

[@oldskool6920]

Because defense was stronger 10x, then today ! Today game-style suits the shooters !

@@oloatis2182 Some people!

[@11bornrich]

@@oldskool6920 Yeahhh that's not true lol It's because of the style of play.

[@peacew479]

Like 80 points today

Drazen the goat, rip the greatest🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷

[@lukasdabrowski917]

Respect for how many such good athletes a small country like Croatia produces👏🏼💪🏼

[@MZapatel1975]

carácter, personalidad, carisma, clase, talento ..Echo de menos a Drazen😢

The European goat

[@dmag884]

Top 3 European player of all time

[@nikoslainas6292]

Easily one❤ no one compared with him it was a pure talent..nowadays the nba is easier than those days...​@@dmag884

[@hristijandimitrovski8664]

R. I. P. Legend😪

[@randysandberg5615]

It's hard to believe it's been 32 years since Drazen died. Once he got to play full-time, he showed his talents. When he was with the Blazers, it was hard to get minutes with Clyde and Terry Porter at the guard positions. Drazen kept his mouth shut and did well whenever he got playing time. My boys and I were shocked when we read of his car accident.

[@antetomic4677]

If Rick Adelman give him a chance and more minutes, I beleve that Portland won a title. 😢.R.I.P Dražen

[@randysandberg5615]

@@antetomic4677 You might be correct. Drazen sure flourished under Chuck Daly.

[@TimothyC.84]

Petro could play in any era

[@Alphasports576]

All great players can

[@TimothyC.84]

@@Alphasports576 I'm not so sure. I don't think Shaq would be as effective today as in his era because of the way the game is officiated today.

[@nikolastoychev1127]

The best shooter ever !!!

[@scottipippen6554]

The best? Not really. As great as he was, there were several shooters as good or even better than him For instance: Steph Curry better, Nikos Galis, Juan Carlos Navarro, Oskar Schmidt, Klay Thompson, Reggie Miller as good as Drazen..

[@ThePartarar]

@@scottipippen6554 if he’d made 10 more freethrows in 92-93, he’d be a 50/40/90 member. Shooting 45% from three is pretty great shooting.

[@dmag884]

His percentage from 3 was actually slightly higher than Steph's ...now, of he'd loved and played longer, who knows?

[@Gal1njo]

@@scottipippen6554 Galis was a better scorer but not better shooter. Miller Said it himself, Drazen was the best shooter he ever saw. Schimidt was close. Navaro was not in his league. Only one I`ll give credit to is Steph, but I don`t think he would be that good in the 90`s while Drazen would dominate now. Drazen was a beast in practise. He had Mamba mentality before Mamba. He was asked once how would win a pickup game between him and MJ. He said the one who got the ball first.

[@11bornrich]

@@Gal1njo To say you don't think Steph would be that good in the 90s is absolute madness. Steph would be in the conversation for top 5 all time if he played in the 80s or 90s assuming he played EXACTLY the same way as he does today.

[@AllinOne-dg3dk]

Petrovic is a freakin legend!

[@1979DRL]

... simply the best ever

[@Riles3152]

0:02 I’m sure as soon as Drazen saw that Steve Kerr was guarding him, he thought to himself “Barbecue Chicken!” 😂

[@SavivaldybiuLyga]

Scoring 40 in 1992 was something. Now bench players does this sometimes.

[@adrianlovic6486]

Best ever 🤚dont argue.

[@ur_wrong1209]

Wow! A 40 point performance without 30 3-point attempts? It’s almost like there’s an entire rest of the court to shoot jumpers.

[@dueverity]

He's the cousin of my physics teacher! My physics teacher also played professional basketball in the Netherlands (where we live), and talked about how he played with him, and he got absolutly destroyed.

[@scheffrocker23]

My god❤🏀 Legend

[@almightyleancup2489]

Petrovic would be a god in todays game

[@jordanjenkins1671]

40pts back then is 50pts this decade

[@damir9743]

Drazene falis..,💔

[@JMO-FLOW]

2:37 It look like he said "give me the ball" Dang right give him the ball let him cook the Cavs some Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner 🍽 😋

[@darbofuchs9021]

Bravo

[@jimiguitar100]

Talent first. Then, work work work. You know, thing that you like to do, it becomes like love or obsession. When you look at Petrović basketball, same thing about love for Something, like Maradona or Zidanne. Talent and uncodicional traiining. Love in i the end. ..Muhammad Ali said : i hate training, but I did more than schachule. Then in 15round you see ali dancing, throwing shots at frazier. Well, its only Love in the end ❤

[@robertzemljic2549]

Kerr was a joke for Petrovic 😂

[@dawizrdd8387]

my dad tells me toni kukoc was the one who gained the respect for euro players but I always thought it was saranus and drazen lol petrovic highlights literally looks like a Croatian Reggie miller

[@robert-alankucko2561]

Dražen.Marčuljonis;Divac su prvi europljani u nba ligi. Draženu je bilo puno teže probiti se kroz milion američkih bekova. Centrima jw ipak puno lakse.

[@dmag884]

Kukoc is the greatest European player to play in the NBA. Arvydas, Sarunas and Drazen are right behind. And then these kids come and say Dirk was the best Euro player ever ...Sigh. All of these guys would eat Dirk for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner

[@bespushkule3136]

Idk about that. Dirk was a scoring machine. You’re talking about a 7 footer with a pull up jumper from any where, and with some handles. His footwork in the post was up to par with the likes of Kobe, MJ etc, except he was 7ft…just cause he wasn’t playing in your “day” doesn’t matter. Great players are great in any era..

Naš MJ

[@Barakudas1-h6k]

He had dead eye for shoting 3s and 2s.

[@carlxfit1489]

Steve Kerr got cooked by Drazen.

[@MarioCindric]

Everybody got cooked by Dražen, he was killer. Find a clip frpm Once brothers and see what Joe Dummars says about him. Find what Sir Charles said about him. See what Drexler told about him. Dražen was cooking whole defence of Bulls in 90s, Kerr was just another victime.

[@danijelhrup9715]

Against the strongest team in the east at that time Cleveland

[@Workingman22]

it's 1992...strongest team in the east would be the defending champs and winning again in 92 the chicago bulls...

[@Gawd_Ish]

Kinda shoots like klay

[@peterstark4562]

Klay is the better shooter but Drazen is the better scorer.

[@amando90]

you crazy.... klay is not even close to petrovič even... curry not...

[@amando90]

petrovič compare to jordan hu undrstand basketball... in 90s

[@NenadKrstinic]

Nesto ekstra i nije Bio prosjecan igrac

[@mmdjuric]

An average, maybe below the average, NBA player. Better PER had Stojakovic, Kukoc, Divac. Never MVP, Rookie of the year, All Star, best shooter, etc.

[@iljavija]

Yes you obviously know more about BB then Reggie Miller, LeBron, Drexler etc.

[@mmdjuric]

@@iljavija Haha!

[@axelarroyo3286]

He was one of the best shooters in league history and turned down an invite to the 3 point contest because he felt it was a snub...the guy died very young you can't compare his NBA career stats to what his potential was. A prime Sabonis and prime Dirk were the only European players better than he was and Sarunas was also excellent. You're clueless.

[@MarioCindric]

@@axelarroyo3286 Nobody was better than Dražen, he was beating Sabonis and Žalgiris regularly while he was playing for Cibona. I watched those games as kid.

[@Unwoken_European]

E moj Đuriću. Tako nešto napisati. U Hrvatskoj je Dražen u kategoriji Pelea i Maradone.
