SERBIAN SPORT

That night Belgrade was host of spectacle that never had been seen in the world of basketball. Belgrade is one of the rarely places in planet where this kind of happening can give the best from themselves, because it make and affirm persons like Aleksandar Sasha Djordjevic, because know to appreciate their and others value, because know basketball game like know their language.
At the age of 38, player which all the people admired 2 decenniums finished career, arranger and leading role in many unforgettable basketball scenes for what he got lot of Oscars (4 gold medal, silver and bronze with national team,title of champion of Europe with Partizan, 3 cups of Korac…).He became the legend , accompanied in game with more than 50 well know players and 8000 supporters at tribunes of Pionir.
In time in which we assimilate that our public (mostly football) whiffed our canticle,that courts in all the world are places where lot of primitive calculation happens, that sport is more and more going out of it insides, we were witness of event in which triumph delight, inspired with charisma of unique player and spirit of time in which Yugoslavian basketball was serious threaded from American NBA empire.Can anyone be cold when on the court are Djordjevic, Divac, Kukoc, Paspalj, Radja, Danilovic…
Croatian basketball player Toni Kukoc and Dina Radja and their relationship with public was like time stopped 1991 when they played last time in Pionir as players of Split’s Pop 84.They got same ovations as our best basketball players. And Radja was afraid of being vespered...
Djordjevic apply that night to all the generation but and to veterans that, how he sad, deserve more applauses than him.
If someone will judge about dimension by 'who is coming to celebration', than he is Goliath,but in his career he could take sympathies as David(188 cm) who's with his knowledge and bravery suppled the titans. After all, he decently sad that he don't suspect that lot of his guests could make spectacle, if they decide to organize retiring match. That night in hall Pionir Djordjevic brote first win for UNICEF 'team' witch he is ambassador for Serbia and Montenegro. All the money for that match and from auction from 'Hyatt Regency Hotel' was intended for 'School without violence'. That is just continuance humanity work, after work in 'Group 7', individually(he helped kids' homes in Bijela and Sremska Kamenica, Red Cross Belgrade, Institute for mother and child in New Belgrade, Serbian Orthodox church, jeopardized basketball players...).
Looking from skilled angle, player that 'understand better with the ball' from anyone else, his technique don't have anything + or -,his shot is synonym for ideal, he knew so much secrets from that game that was some kind of coach at court. His 'School of basketball' ,at CD let as a behest to FIBA and kids whom he is a idol.
Let's see what his coaches say about him:
Bozidar Maljkovic: 'He had so good viewing of game that he could see what color of socks wear supporter from last chain'.
Zoran Slavnic: 'In him are united all perfection of big basketball player in witch is assign creativity.'
Sergio Scariolo: 'He is one of the biggest person from basketball world that I know'.
Zelimir Obradovic: 'He is one of the best our basketball player'.
And this is what told him Zoran Moka Slavnic: When you stop playing be or coach or nothing in basketball, because all other is funny.
He heard him good, and now he is coach of Armani Jeans Milano, just year after he played his last season in same club. After one year he was close to lead the team passing the group in Euroleague but he don't do it,in quarter final of Italian cup his team lost from Napoli, and in Italian league they lost from Beneton (champion) in first round of play off after 5 series. After first season he was pretty good, but this is just start.
GOOD LUCK
