Blazers in worldwide media

[jlprk]

So you wanna be like Suns or Kings?

You know all the teams, but now I'm the one looking up words. Which I will now do. I looked up theremin before because of this board, but forgot what it means. Even after I looked up meme, I still didn't know what meme means. I suspect that a Croatian made up those words to confuse Americans.

In our best sports web portal sportsport.ba in the forum there is a topic Portland Trail Blazers. There are fans of Blazers from many years ago. Actually the thread started on 2010-th and was very active those years. Unfortunately in this season last post is from November. I read some posts from 2010-th and find out some things (How you got rip city name per example). I will register here and see if it can be active again. This is link:

One question for veterans here. How you remember the most liked and probably best player from my ex country ( and my favorite player as well for all time who played for Blazers and unfortunatelly killed in car accident - Drazen Petrovic? I was very young but remember him well was my idol as a kid...

I was always a Goran Ivanisevic fan as well....saw him play live in Hong Kong once....what a serve!

 

[Almir]

Petrovic was my idol as a kid. Sabonis was a main opponent because he played for Russia (later for Lithuania) which was main oponent in Europe to my ex Yugoslavia Country. Full respect fir him. I watched him live aganist Bosnia as well.

Petrovic is Croatian but was in Yugoslavia before we got independent countries. We had in Yogoslavia some strong national team with players who played in nba ( Divac from Serbia (Lakers) Petrovic, Kukoc (Bulls) from Croatia etc...our main rival for european champion was Russia with Sabonis at those times.

I have his #44 jersey still. But I didn't watch him cause I was too young. One of our greatest.

Petrovic would have been the greatest Euro player ever if he'd lived to play a full career...best pure shooter I ever watched at the time

Bill Fitch, the greatest coach ever, made Petro into a 20 points per game starter. If he'd stayed in Portland he would have gone nowhere. Bill Fitch should be your national hero. He is in the pantheon with Bob Whitsitt.

Let's not go overboard. He was just a shooter/scorer SG, not a PG. Fitch was a screaming slavedriver at all the teams he coached, and drove Petro to 20ppg on a mediocre Nets team.

Almir and Lukee, you will find that I am the voice of reason, often calming people to not go overboard.

nice try dude but he's read your rap post already...it broke his computer

I like the sound of riverman overboard.....it's almost like overlord

Drazen had it all...beautiful game...he clicked with that Nets team...Reggie Miller calls him the greatest shooter he ever played against

 

[jlprk]

He disappeared. I hope I didn't break all the computers in Croatia and Bosnia.

 

[jlprk]

Reggie Miller has flowery words for any rival of the Knicks.

I'm watching Cavs. Almost fall asleep.

Drazen Petrovic....Croatian ....see my previous post

See this:

First Petrovic'club was Sibenka, from the town Sibenik today in Croatia. On 1983-rd Sibenka then in Yogoslavian league with Petrovic played final play off for Yugoslavian champion aganist my club from my City - Sarajevo now in Bosnia and the club name is ' KK Bosna' . they won by some controversy but never mind i was his a huge fan. This video is from that final match. It was very close almost done deal for transfer Petrovic to my club KK Bosna they had negotations but finaly failed. It was very close that we signed him. Later he played for Cibona from Zagreb and then Spain and nba. He was best shoter and best player in that Yugoslavian league and national team. Later he played for Croatia when they become indenpendent country. Even today he is well respected in all ex Yugoslavian countries and probably still known as best player from Balkan

 

[jlprk]

I have long suspected that you are a famous rapper. Now I know for sure.

I think we found the "OdenIsGod"/Tupac lost collaboration. With E-Millegan in the Bruno Mars backup bridge role.

They don't call them flippers for nothing!

That's more my style!

 

[Almir]

I met through my job Petrovic's brother Aco Petrovic who was the coach of my National team and now is the coach of Croatian national team. I was with him as well this summer in Euro Championship in Romania group stage. Of course we spoke a little bit about Drazen. Still sad about his destiny.

Petro was a huge fan favorite here in Portland. I was really sad when he was traded. When I was a teenager I sent him a basketball card in the mail asking for an autograph, and he autographed the card and sent it back to me

Drazen <3

There is a monument in his memory in my hometown. Once a year i like to walk there.

Petrovic was my idol as a kid. Sabonis was a main opponent because he played for Russia (later for Lithuania) which was main oponent in Europe to my ex Yugoslavia Country. Full respect fir him. I watched him live aganist Bosnia as well.

We had in Yogoslavia some strong national team with players who played in nba ( Divac from Serbia (Lakers) Petrovic, Kukoc (Bulls) from Croatia etc...our main rival for european champion was Russia with Sabonis at those times.

Divac was my favorite. I lived in Laker land when he was a rookie and watched his struggles, actually, his lack of struggle to be an NBA pioneer from a communist country. His European style gave him a head start on regular rookies. Later he put on muscle and got good coaching from former superstar Dave Cowens in Charlotte. He was the underrated key player in Sacramento, where they really won the championship against the Lakers but the league office instructed referees otherwise.

Good video. It shows the pomp and glory of winning. The referee decided the championship--of moustaches.
