How The NBA's Greatest Shooter Lost Everything in Seconds

Video Description

Dražen Petrović, after spending nearly his whole life (he started playing professionally at just 15 years old in Croatia) destroying European Basketball, which did include scoring 112 points in a single professional game, he decided to take his talents overseas. Specifically, playing for the Portland Trail Blazers. After making it all the way to the NBA Finals in his rookie year, Dražen Petrović was eventually traded to the New Jersey Nets, where he eventually flourished. At the time, he was quite literally the best pure shooter in the NBA, and with every passing season in his short 4 year NBA career, he was only getting better and better. Defenders said they would rather guard Michael Jordan. Reggie Miller, one of the GOAT's of shooting said before Steph Curry, Drazen was the best shooter and that he simply didn't miss. So, join me, as we dive into the tragically short career of Dražen Petrović. Business inquiries: [email protected] Credits: Ideation: Leander Thumbnail: Vlad Edit/Script/Research: Me
