The story of Drazen Petrovic
Career Statistics One of the most far-reaching changes in the makeup of the NBA during the 1980s was the arrival of significant numbers of talented European players, a migration greatly accelerated by the fall of communist governments in Eastern Europe. No arrival from the former Soviet bloc was more eagerly anticipated than that of Drazen Petrovic. A two-time Olympic silver medalist, the Croatian native led the national team of the former Yugoslavia before developing into one of the NBA's top shooting guards in four seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers and New Jersey Nets. However, tragedy cut his career short when he died in an automobile accident in Germany at age 28. To match the cool grace of urban American talents, the European newcomer brought tireless enthusiasm to the game, as illustrated by his fist-pumping in moments of triumph and furious agonizing over setbacks. He was not as strong defensively as his American counterparts, but he showed a penchant for daring three-point shooting. "I have never seen any pro or amateur player work as hard," Nets Assistant Coach Tom Newell told the New York Daily News. "He's the consummate pro in commitment and dedication." Petrovic had shooting skills to match his energy. In his two full seasons with New Jersey he averaged 21.4 points. In his best-and final-season, 1992-93, he led the Nets with 22.3 points per game. "Even if you were a fan of another team, you couldn't root against him," teammate Sam Bowie told the Newark Star-Ledger. "You had to be impressed by him."

razen Petrovic was an extraordinary young man, and a true pioneer in the global sports of basketball. I know that a lasting part of his athletic legacy will be that he paved the way for other international players to compete successfully in the NBA. His contributions to the sport of basketball were enormous. We are all proud of the fact we knew him.
David J. Stern, NBA Commissioner
It was a thrill to play against Drazen. Every time we competed, he competed with an aggressive attitude. He came at me as hard as I came at him. So, we've had some great battles in the past and unfortunately, they were short battles.
Michael Jordan - English - - Hrvatski -

MEMORIES ON DRAZEN PETROVIC
Picture on the screen during 1993. NBA finals. The 1993 NBA finals between Chicago and Phoenix started with the silence. Drazen’s picture on the big screen... It said Memories on Petro . And then a sound of the game speaker:
He was participating in the tournament in Germany with his Croatian National Team. Drazen was a true international basketball pioneer. The NBA and it's players extend heartfelt condolence to his family and friends. Please join us in observing a moment in silence in Memory of Drazen Petrovic.
Maybe then, in that minute of silence, many players in the arena and big audience across the world felt how insecure our lives are. Maybe, there was an answer and the meaning of Drazen’s life. Why did he work so hard, pushing himself to the unseen limits? As if he had known…
Drazen and I were very good friends. I was one of those people who welcomed him to Portland when he came from Europe. We talked about his family a lot in his restaurant, and he enjoyed his friends and he enjoyed the game of basketball. I really respect him because he worked very, very hard. Each and every day in practice he would be the first guy to come and the last guy to leave the gym. So anybody with that kind of dedication... you have to have a lot of respect for him. Clyde Drexler
Lauseanna, Switzerland

He will remain in the hearts of Croatians everywhere and all of his other fans. When Sam Bowie, a Petrovic team-mate and admirer, asked Petrovic how he hit such clutch shots in tough situations, he was taken aback by the response. "Sam, that's not tough conditions," said Petrovic. "Tough situations is talking to my family back home in Croatia and finding out someone I know was killed in the war." A young picture of Drazen. Drazen gave his all in every game. "A Shining Star" by: Lauren Tarino: There was a star that shone real bright, A star that shone all through the night, He was a star that played his best, And put his talents to the test. He was a leader for the Nets, As determined as a person gets. He played basketball with a great passion, Shooting three's in his own famous fashion. He always got the crowd on their feet, To cheer him for a spectacular defeat. He was a great player, there is not doubt
