Wow, 19 years without Petro

[DavorCroatiaFan]

As Celtics fan from Croatia...just to say that today is 19 years from greatest tragedy in croatia's sports history, death of Dražen Petrović.

Please guys, share some memories about Petro...he was having some great games in the old Garden (including 39 point game in a Nets win).

[Global Celtic]

Respect. The first Euro player to really have an impact on NBA.

PS: I think Reggie Miller states in that interview that it was tough to guard Petrovic also because he stank!

[Home7]

Definitely

the time flies by .. it`s like yesterday when i heard in school than drazen had died (now i`m counting white hair:D)

He was supposed to leave NBA and play for Panathinaikos and although i hate this team i was thrilles i`d have had the opportunity to watch him play live

I can`t find the video but the euro cup final against Oscar Schmidt in Athens when the two of them scored 100 points is what i remember him most of

Here is the whole game:

Petrović scores 62, and Schmidt 49 points. Such a great players.

He was a great player.   I was stationed in Germany near Munich every time I drove on the Autobahn near Munich I thought about him.

I remember that I was pretty devastated about Drazen and then followed Reggie's death very soon after. It was just so sad and emotionally draining. Like it probably was for Wolves fans (and especially KG, of course) when Malik died. Also, that business with PP way back. Thanks, Tony B!

Anyways... Just so totally pointless.
