The best Serb who played basketball was an American citizen. Pistol Pete Maravich. He always emphasized his Serbian origin and trained by listening to Serbian songs. :) Good video!
Is this real?
He didn't always emphasize his origin, if there is one thing that he emphasized is his faith in Jesus Christ - he said that he would choose to be known rather as a Christian than as a basketball player. You can look up his Christian testimony.
In fact his life is very interesting, only after his death it was discovered that he had a major birth defect, he was born without a coronary artery but even so he was a professional athlete and till this day the best college player ever to play basketball. He heard a voice telling him to "be strong and lift thine own heart" - he was convinced that God spoke to him and some years after that he was playing casually with his friends and he just laid down and died, he was at that point living his life by always talking about God and telling people to turn to Jesus Christ.
@@AleksAvramJeff For those who are deep in religion, faith is more important than anything. Serbs know that part of his life that is not interesting to those people who do not care about his origin. He talked about his origins with much more fire than the average Serb in Serbia. People who are not in favor of Serbs declared him an extremist because of his statements. Personally, I not interested in Serbianness or religion. Faith is a personal matter for each individual and it should be respected. In any case, Pete Maravich was a special man.
And the most famous Serbian NBA coach is Gregg Popovich
Both Goran Dragic and Luka Doncic are Serbs, who have Slovenian citizenship.
GOAT Serbia... European basketball ... highest basketball IQ level
Whenever I see your name I remember the best Swiss tennis player of all time. Haha.
@@mlrd2687 ahhhahahahahaha NOVAK DJOKOVIC is unstoppable force and still counting.... but NIKOLA JOKIC superstar NBA slowly going into history books also
@@mlrd2687 and i agree with you.... NOVAK DJOKOVIC never can take from federer only 1 record... Federer always will be best Switzerland tennis player ahhhahahahahaha
@@trumpameri1638 Nikola destroys everything in front of him. Maybe Novak could take Swiss citizenship, so Federer would be the second best Swiss player of all time. Nadal could also take Swiss citizenship, and push him to third place. Haha.
@@mlrd2687 ahhhahahahahaha nice.... NOVAK will play vs federer this days like a toys
Paul George is Serbian brother-in-law
What a great tribute to a great basketball nation! ❤️💪
Never enough!!!
Nice tribute to all the talented Serbian players! Greetings from Hungary!
Thank you neighbour. 👍🏼
Greatest Srb who ever play in NBA was Pete Maravich known sa Pistol Pete period.
His father´s name is Petar (common name for serbs instead of Peter), and his grandfather is Vajo (Vayo) Maravic from Lika, today´s Croatia. His mother is also serbian and same as his father was confessing Serbian Orthodox religion. If we say al serbs, than Pistol Pete deserves to be mentioned. If we say citizens of Serbia, than it is ok to skip his name, as he was USA citizen.
There is a story that Rudy Tomjanovich told on the sport channel when he first time played against Pistol Pete Maravich. Pistol Pete Maravich asked him if he is Serbian and Tomjanovich answered " No Croatian ", Maravich said " I am Serbian and now I will destroy you on the court ". Tomjanovich continued " and of course later we became a friends ".
Divac played in one of the most talented NBA eras especially in big man segment. He's top 30 centers when you factor that in
NIKOLA JOKIC best assist big MAN in NBA history.....
Actual list of serbian NBA players is lot longer (20+ longer) and out of top of my head, Paspalj, Djordjevic, Tarlac, Rakocevic are missing, all european legends and European cup winners if not left a huge mark in NBA. Curent players Smailagic and Pokusevski are missing also.
Thanks for watching! Video intro has explained that and in the end of the video you can see all of the players you've mantioned.
Alen Smailagić
very good video! actualy very suprised about Krstic stats.
Žarko Čabarkapa missing on both lists. So as I count, in all, there is 30 Serbian player that played or still playing in NBA. This is really GOOD VIDEO, good content, good editing. Recive my compliments bro!
CABARKAPA , VRANKOVIC, KOSTA PEROVIC, NEDOVIC...ETC
Drazen Petrovic was best serb ever,his dad was serb from Bosnia.Drazen won everything with Yugoslavia,.They didn't put him here bcs Drazen play for Croatia but Drazen in europe was like Jordan in USA.
Draz was Croatian
Born in Šibenik
Doesnt mean he is serbian because his dad was and it dont matter if he was born in yugoslavia
@@basketballeditzz24 wait, I am serb and if I move to slovenia and my kid is born there is my kid slovenian even tho I am serb? what if I move to south african republic, will my kid be black?
Jokic is way better than Drazen, to be fair Drazen didnt have long career but statistically Jokic is the best
doncic and dragic are serbs too but foreigners wouldnt understand :D
Ne brate , oni jesu srpskog porekla , ali su se rodili i odrasli u Sloveniji , ne razumem potrebu da se ocajnicki istice kako su oni srbi , njihova imena govore dovoljno , zna se odakle su im preci , ali oni su iz Ljubljane , majke su im Slovenke , pusti pricu ...
Same goes for Dražen Petrović

Thank you for making this video but the height for some players is not correct. Where did you get the height info?
Decko zaboravio si prvog srbina u NBA a to je Pit Maravic ..
Rođen u sjedinjenim državama, i odrastao tamo, u vreme kada je on igrao nije se moglo ići igrat u NBA iz Evrope, nego su svi izilazili sa koledža, nije fer porediti ga sa ostalima.
@@strahinjastevic7480 Pa ima smisla pomenuti ga ako je video o srbima, a ne samo o gradjanima Srbije.
Drazen Petrovic. Yugoslav player, Croatian nationality as in passport/citizenship, Serb ethnicity, and origin from Trebinje, Herzegovina.
Luka Doncic, Slovenian player, Serb ethnicity and origin from Kosovo.
Nicola Mirotic, Montenegro player, a proud and loud Serb as well.
Drazen Petrovic je LEGENDA
Lukas mother Slovenian, right?
Deni Avdija, Srbin, al igra za Izrael
The Population/NBA players ratio of Serbia is quite peculiar, if You ask me! o.O
They are realy tall as a nation...
Video should be retitled to "All Serbians in NBA".
Serbian illustrates nationality/citizenship.
On the other hand, Serb illustrates ethnic background/descent.
Doncic and Goran Dragic are both of Serb descent, although they are Slovenian nationals (Slovenian citizenship).
So, if its "All Serbs in NBA", they should be included.
If its "All Serbians in NBA" they should not be included.
No dude your dumb
You failed to mention Nikola Peković - even though he played for Montenegro, he holds Serbian citizenship and he made a name by playing for Partizan in Serbia. Same with Predrag Drobnjak. Nikola Mirotić plays for the Spanish national team, but declares himself as an ethnic Serb. Nikola Vučević said that he was born in Switzerland to Serbian parents from Montenegro and Bosnia. Žarko Čabarkapa has a dual citizenship and was born in Serbia. And you forgot Aleksandar Radojević. Danilović's pre-draft team was Partizan. Partizan produced the most NBA players outside the US. From 1989 until today, 13 players have been drafted directly from Partizan, several undrafted players have played in the NBA (Žarko Paspalj, Saša Djordjević, Ratko Varda), and Latvian laser Davis Bertans has made great progress under the mentorship of Duško Vujosević, Europe's greatest talent polisher.
Predrag Drobnjak four season :)
Saric, Dragic, Doncic, Bojan Bogdanovic... are also Serbs...

Thera more but you do not know that they are serbs: D Petrovic, L Doncic N Vucevic, D Saric etc.
Kukoc
Luki Doncicu je otac srbin , ali mu je majka slovenka i decko se rodio i odrastao u Ljubljani , da se tako gleda decko bi igrao za Srbiju .
Вучевић је Србенда
Milos Babic first Serbian NBA player. You forgot him.

Cvetkovic,Babic,Paspalj
шта се ложите сви да причате на енглеском а све наши...
Divac was Jokic before Jokic..just he didn't had that kind of freedom to play like that it wasn't normal in that time..not saying he was better than Jokic btw.
Good point!
Just to add Divac was playing with very strong and powerful players like Magic or Chris V in big franchise and it was even harder to be the leader and got the ball in his hands . but Jokic is the most powerful player in Nugg.(one of the most powerful in the league, for sure)
Great players both of them!!!
@@nbanow446 exactly... Divac was faster and he had a lot of skill buy Jokic is stronger for example. Young Divac was playing like a guard really

@@alekj7346 This video should be retitled to "All Serbians in NBA".
Serbian is a citizen of Serbia. It illustrates nationality/citizenship.
Serb, on the other hand, illustrates ethnic background or descent.
There are Serbs living in many different countries, including Slovenia.
Doncic & Goran Dragic are of Serb descent, although they have Slovenian citizenship.
So, if its "All Serbs in NBA" then it should include Doncic and Dragic.
If its "All Serbians in NBA" it should not include them.

Najbolji Srbin koji ikada igrao u NBA je Predrag Stojakovic koji je osvojio sveeee na svetu,a ako bog da pridruzice mu se i Nikola Jokic. TACKA.
Tačno.Brat Jokara ima šansu da ga nadmaši.
NIKOLA JOKIC je mnogo mnogo jaci igrac... pored toga sto je JOKIC broj 1 igrac u svojoj ekipi mnogo jace i sigurnije igra ima ogromno samopouzdanje i kompletnu dominaciju.... najjaci je igrac na svojoj poziciji... i sto je najbitnije ima taj clutch momenat koji nikad ni jedan igrac nas nije imao da je on taj koji zavrsava i resava utakmice.... Stojakovic je bio jedan od najvaznijih sutera svih vremena ali clutch poeni i situacije mu nisu bili bas jaca strana.... setim se uvek 3-3 protiv L.A.

Dude, we have toilets in Serbia older than entire US history!
Think about it before u post ur ignorance to the world next time!
Serbia has a good tradition in basketball generally speaking, the coaching school and the passion for the game has been a big influence since the 70's and there are a lot of tall people in general too.
