Tkachenko vs USA 1982 Friendly Match

The ukrainian giant Vladimir Tkachenko plays the first of a game series between Europe and USA (with Michel Jordan) honoring FIBA 50th Anniversary in 1982

[@martinh5402]

Vlad was my favorite post player in the 80's so wonderful I got to see him live with the USSR team play Australia at the Sydney Entertainment Centre. He blocked a fadeaway jumper by our center 6'10" Ray Borner, haha I'll never forget that!

A great player it was forgotten to soon when Sabonis appeared in scene...

Wooow Q PARTIDAZO JORDAN vs TKACHENKO💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@vrokhlenko]

Juan Antonio Corbalán plays the point, Miki Berkovich is jumping around and Volodia Tkachenko is cleaning up. Tkachenko is a mounting of a man - saw him in Kyiv a few times.

[@dragankitanovic6277]

I remember those years, realistically only Yugoslav centers (read - Cosic, Radovanovic and others) could guard him, but often with pairings with other players! One of the few good things in Yugoslavia was basketball!!!

[@cistacubaltimoru]

There were a lot of GREAT things in Yugoslavia. It shouldn’t be judged by its end. For the bloody end, all countries that appeared after Yugoslavia should take the blame.

[@dragankitanovic6277]

@@cistacubaltimoru Good things like - Bare Island, arrests, persecution of homeless people and their families, political suitability in employment, personnel selection, getting apartments, etc. I suppose that an easy life on credit is a good thing, but the generations behind are paying for it through debts. Summary - the only good thing in Yugoslavia is the memories of youth, but I guess that is a universal category. Best Regards ! lions

Tk a great player.. but the public was unfair in the 80s for huge players.

Tkachenko could play in the NBA, it would make a big difference

[@volnii_strelok]

he holds a Russian citizenship (not Ukrainian) and lives in Russia, please correct the information. Still, he is probably partially of Ukrainian descent, judging by his surname which is quite common in Russia

[@zoranbrkovic6822]

Jordan dominant here?

[@cesarelodesani1384]

He simply was 19 years old here. His second year in North Carolina University. too young. He was dominant in the 1984 olympic games in Los Angeles

[@canadaclaret]

Meh

[@k.laszlo1304]

my opinion he was even better than Sabonis, if no cold war he would rule the NBA for years
