One of my heroes growing up. I grew up in New Jersey and was blessed to be able to watch Draz in his prime. His passing was heartbreaking for me as I was a big Nets fan and hoped he would come back and re sign with the Nets. I loved his passion and the way he shot the ball.
@@LeondreJackson yeah lol, he was in his prime at 29... players don't reach their prime at 30 that's pretty late, but 30 can be during their prime, like in the middle of it.
My idol ❤️🇭🇷 gone to soon. Wish we could of seen what he could of brought to the basketball world, he was unlike any other player.. going at the likes of MJ, Reggie Miller.. he was relentless and feared no one. One of the nicest jump shots in basketball. RIP draz you live in our hearts
MJ himself said he loved playing against Drazen because he was always fearless and went at him as hard as he did back...he doesn't give higher respect than that
@@user-vp3nr5dm6o oh yea I’m aware, such a shame and tragedy we true basketball fans never got to see the true full potential of the Mozart of basketball. Had his best season yet before tragedy struck.. he was only peaking and entering his prime before his life was taken way too soon. One of the biggest what ifs in basketball history in my opinion
Pistol Pete mavarich, drazen petrovic, and Kobe Bryant. All phenomenal players who were taken way to soon. May the next phenomenon stay with us all the way
Basketbolu çok iyi bilen gelmiş geçmiş en iyi ve zeki oyun kurucu. Topu bacaklarının arasından geçirip havada verdiği paslar tek başına ne kadar muazzam bir yetenek olduğunu kanıtlıyor.
One of the more exciting players to watch in the 90's not named Michael Jordan. He reminded me a bit of Pistol and Bird.. The efficiency of Bird with the flare of Pistol.
Michael Anthony he’s on his prime at that time bro, about to extend his contract woth the nets but sadly he died in a car accident when he traveled to germany
No. Dražen was a much, much better shooter, while Luka has better court awareness and all round game. Similar yes (same basketball school), but the same... No.
Imagine if Portland played him properly, and if Sabonis was able to come the NBA sooner. It could have led to some more, lesser known names, in the NBA. Who knows how the 90s Bulls would look like. Portland could have been the team of the late 80s - 90s.
2:20 had me dying laughing how he pump faked the dude like he was about to shoot the the ball and made the dude jump and then acted like he was about to pass the ball behind the dudes back which made the dude turn his back on him then he shot the ball😂
@@RoDiggity3743 Ginobili chose to come off the bench. even then he was a 6th man of the year. now Imagine if was a starter? ginobili over petro any day.
@@RoDiggity3743 you still stuck in your 3's and no fundamental mentality i bet. manu had it all. defense, offense, assists, hustle, BLOCKING OUT AND REBOUNDS! and high iq. you base his career on one finals? even timmy duncan said and pop that no championships without manu. go learn something before you judge. manu any day before petrovic

I feel like Klay Thompson watched his fair share of this man they're jumpshots while different do have similarities to it
I mean like highlights ofc but such an amazing player wish I got to see him play
Bro Drazen didnt make it to his prime :)
He died at 29 so that's saying he wouldn't have hit his prime till 30 which is weird
@@LeondreJackson yeah lol, he was in his prime at 29... players don't reach their prime at 30 that's pretty late, but 30 can be during their prime, like in the middle of it.
Never heard of this guy until today...rest well king
Where world u been leaving in this Man gave everybody trouble from Reggie Miller to Michael Jordan
Watch the 30 for 30 called Once brothers it’s about him and Vlade divas you’d like it
Ooh wie
@@ejshsvevwnhehehsb2669 ya highly recommend that as well.
You should watch the 30 for 30 on him. It’s pretty good
Love that last highlight. Hits a 3, picks off MJ's inbound pass and hits another 3 against the Dream Team in about 3 seconds!
Came here after watching "Once Brothers". So tragic. RIP Darzen Petrovic

This dude is never talked about and he was AMAZING!
It’s cuz he had 2 good seasons then unfortunately passed early
@@timboslice85592 good seasons in the nba. He played several yrs as a pro before that

At least Pistol Pete and Kobe were able to finish their career sad😢
Reggie Lewis
He was the Luka Doncic of that era.
Luka Doncic is possible because of Drazen Petrovic!!!
🙏 R.I.P. LEGEND smooth playstyle and wet shot
One of the best pump-fake master I have ever seen in basketball

He came around 20 years too early, he’d have been a superstar in this
Modern era
Imagine Jokić - Petrović two man game 🤯🤯🤯
He said even NBA is to easy for him... Legend...
Petrovic, Marciulionis and Galis .... Best european guards of that time. One of the kind
Heard of the other two but never heard of Galis.
Drazen "Mozart" Petrovic
Always was a fan - but doing that to Hakeem (OF ALL PEOPLE ) at about 2:30 was ugh....so amazing....
drazen petrovic de los mejores jugadores que e mirado en mi vida
He was good. Such an untimely death. He was coming in his own too. He was gonna have a beast 93'-94' season....
Those throwback nets jerseys and warmups were fire 🔥
As a nets fan I like to look at highlights of past players.

Petrovic was a beast, no doubt about it
😓 R.I.P Mozart....
The best European player that ever played in NBA.
Jérôme COTTEREAU 😂
@@J4YNiGz 4 sure, he's still the best
I rate Tony Parker above him but still love Drazen and consider myself lucky to have been able to see him as a kid
@T Dillinger giannis
Jérôme COTTEREAU Arvydas Sabonis & Sarunas Marciulionis too!
Did he just disrespected Olajuwon? 😲
For real haha
Only Petrovic .
Score 112 points in only one mach.
I never miss with him in 2k20
R.I.P Drazen Petrovic(In my top 5 best players list)
Mozart dei canestri ❤️
Imagine Petrovic in this era...he'd be a 30ppg guy and consistent All Star
The REAL Splash Brother
Jedan od najvećih!
Legend man jkidd reminded me of him
What a player he was
Nba jam😱
one of my idols

I forget what a good passer he was!

Rip Drazen Petrovjc
1964 - 1993
How he die so young
car accident
@@alifrashid8124 damn he was still player at the time too?

@@footballroxx24 he was 28.6 years old when he died
And Luka Doncic is Drazen Petrovic reincarnated!
Drazen was first.

He should’ve been in the NBA Hall of Fame
The Biggest European player in the History
No
@@iscokc1259 Yes
@@youngdp2131 No, Dirk is the best and there's a few guys that can be the best too
Luka Doncic gonna be the best european player ever, he's young but also very talented
Sabonis
Imagine if he finished his career🤧😬 He Killa REST IN POWER
If this guy showed up at your local gym you’d be in for a long day 😂
Outside of 90s bulls players jerseys, his is one of the very few other player jersey’s any basketball fan should own.
I have a CROATIA 4 PETROVIC jersey.
Kakav igrac...ljudi...
Sad they didn’t mention him in the last dance I saw him in a clip but they j talked ab kukoc
What if he dethroned Michael.....imagine if he never died....life is crazy
The second 3peat might not happen if this guy lived
@@zachrayy288 lol it would've happened.
he never dethroned mj because there is Kobe
I said what if, n this was before kobe was in the league
@@egseven well he signed a contract with Panathinaikos(greek team) so he would be out of the league for some seasons
Those free throws were sick...great highlight. We don't have anything like that nowadays. Super exciting!
Him and Steve Kerr were the best 3PT shooters from that era
Never seen this guy play he has a sweet stroke
RIP Drazen
El genio de Sibenik ❤❤❤
Petrovic...
Heroj
amazing when he is selfish ,,amazing in all his passing ,,he is simply unbelievable
You all May not believe me but I can tell you that the best of his Carreer he gave at Cibona Zagreb when he was 20
I can't help but feel that Luka is turning out to be what Drazen was, and was going to had he not died so early.
rip najveci
He was basically Clay Thompson on steroids.
The mean floater and brutal pump fake has me so errect I have to admit. That one dude tryna guard him felt that he was getting murdered
🏀🏀
If Reggie Miller said he was the best shooter he ever saw, that's good enough for me.
No fucking way he better shooter then Curry 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Whooville Money Gang quicker release and taller
This man was better than curry or harden but of course most of you don’t know that
Facts
No he wasent tf😂
He died on my birthday June 7,1993
Дражен Петровић 🇷🇸

I wish i could time travel
That other league seems brutal. People just blasting fog horns constantly.
His Father Serbian and his mom is Croatian, a great player one of the best ever.
Unguardable with the combination of dribbling, footwork and shooting touch. SGA looks like a mordern version of him.
Ginobili is from Argentina. A foreign player whom I'd take before any European player.

Better than Luka.
Ne bit smeš'n
@@dejanljubljana6142 I had to translate that. It's funny to me. Drazen was better in many ways. More athletic for one. Better shooter. 😂
@@ebogar42 yes for you
Reggie miller is wrong. He doesnt shoot quicker than curry. Curry still shoots the quickest
The son of the devil.☘
He probably would have been better than Jordan if he didn’t die

I wont say that but he and the Nets would've DAMN sure gave the Bulls some fits
