Drazen - The Years of the Dragon

Autor Crnogaj, Marjan, Radicevic, Vlado Cuvânt înainte de Brajdic, Drazen
en Limba Engleză Paperback
The most recent Croatian book about the basketball legend Drazen Petrovic with thorough insight into his celebrated international career on the both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. An in-depth career retrospective of the 'European Michael Jordan' with numerous untold details, unseen photos, and stories, both on and off court, with countless testimonies from basketball legends from all over the world. In Europe, he was known as the 'Mozart of Basketball' with dreams of coming to America and playing in the NBA. The NBA transformed 'Europe's best of the best' ingeniously - by letting the game come to him, the 'Dragon' turned into one of the most propulsive and precise shooting guards in the NBA and the first European to be considered a 'franchise player'. After Larry Bird's retirement in the fall of 1992, it was Drazen who turned into the brightest Caucasian star of the League, fighting each night to achieve his childhood dream, playing at the NBA All-Star game and thus paving the way for all Europeans. Wherever he would play, it would seem that basketball had arrived in town - the game would travel with him, making him one of the greatest ambassadors in the history of the game, with his influence stretching all over the globe. Although it's been almost a quarter of a century since his sudden, tragic death, his basketball star is still shining with the same brightness and is frequently remembered by legendary shooters such as Reggie Miller, Dale Ellis, and Stephen Curry, to name a few. With one of the most distinct non-American basketball books ever, the Croatian authors set an irreplaceable reference point for all future artistic works about the legendary Captain. "Shooting is a dying art and Drazen's shot was an art form." - Dale Ellis Reviews "An incredible book Like most basketball fans, I thought I knew everything about Drazen, but Marjan Crnogaj and Vlado Radicevic created a true masterpiece and proved me wrong... I fully recommend it to everyone " - Damjan Rudez, Orlando Magic "So that is why this book written by two basketball experts and fanatics, Marjan Crnogaj and Vlado Radicevic, a kind of transcendental experience for all readers, a new way to "spend time" with the legendary Captain. Two journalists, whose love for basketball is nearly at the same level as Drazen's, offer us another reminder of the fanatical basketball genius who we shouldn't and cannot forget." - Drazen Brajdic, Vecernji list
