just this season a comentator said curry is probably the best 3pt shooter ever and the other one said maybe one of the best, but id give that title to drazen petrovic
+nonplayerzealot4 Literally! Never gets mentioned when people talk about the greatest centers and he was the best in the late 70s and early 80s besides Kareem IMO.
acetor 2000 what....Only Shaq, Hakeem, Wilt and Kareem were better than him. You can even argue against Wilt and Kareem. No way Moses isnt a Top 5 Center of all Time. Personally, I would choose Ben Wallace for my dream team. 4 Time Defensive Player of the year.
I love Drazen but no. He was great but nowhere near Jordan. He was too slow, not athletic, not a great defender… Jordan could go past him at anytime, easily.
Drazen the best shooter in the toughest era of basketball. If I have to choose the best 15 years of basketball, that would be the span between 1988 through 2003.
+11Pruga not comparing. Michael Berry said he's the greatest European player ever. I believe Dirk is the best European player ever. Just different opinions
Wasn’t old enough to watch him play as I was born in ‘94 but damn are his highlights fun to watch. Wish we could’ve seen his career all the way through. RIP
he was so fun to watch. It was just so tragic because I don't even think he had reached his full potential when he died. He was getting better with every season and was on the precipice of becoming a superstar.
+Marchello Bucci ta fuck do you even watch petrovic he is best 3 pointer ever not european best 3 pointer in nba history he is only person who run alone on basket but he stop to shoot 3 point
Man,the great late Dražen.That guy like never missed a free shot.Deadly,DEADLY shooter.And a geat play also,I believe I'm quoting him with "I like the assist more than scoring,when I make great assist two players are hapy,when I score only one".Or something like that.Team player.
toni said that i guess phill didnt listen and tried to make a PF out of him just because hes 6 11...biggest mistake of phill coaching carrer he said that
When he died each and every one of us Croatians felt like losing a brother. Even after all these years we feel deep deep sorrow for this loss. Can't watch any of his videos without crying our eyes out. He is our legend , our fenomeno, our joy and pride.
Impresionante Drazen Petrovic la máquina de anotar!!.... que pena su muerte prematura con 28 años....el mejor tirador anotador Europeo que halla pisado la NBA....DEP!!!
Watching Drazen play, I think he would've flourished more in today's NBA, a lot of teams today would've benefited from Drazen's off-ball scoring and shooting skills.
Daniel Dravot Reggie Miller dosnt know wtf hes talking about. Thats back when a white shooter was looked at like the best at shooting. Now tho....T Mac....Kobe...Durant...Klay...Curry. They all shot better than Reggie.
Calm down, steph is Great, but Drazen played only 2 seasons in NBA when they gave him minutes, bcs, they wouldnt give minutes to an European guy.... so his records are mostly in Europe, and it was different era, they were shooting a lot more midrange jumpers, and had a lot of plays that ended in midrange jumpers, so....
Disappointed Knick's Fan reggie miller also changed that and said curry was the best shooter of all time, go look that up. he hit 400 threes in 1 season that's insane
lol, comparing Dirk to Drazen is like comapraing Schweinsteiger to Maradona. Drazen is by far the greatest european player ever, better than Doncic (this era of NBA is a joke), and would be the greatest player ever, if he had lived. MJ can be thankful.
petro was the man he was one of my favorite players I remember when.he died oh and here you can see all push offs that Jordan got away with he had his own rules I thought he was overrated when I was a kid
Rasuke11 No reason for you to be rude DUDE! I was simply saying had Petro lived the Nets would have been a great team in the early nineties. If you want to bring it up for discussion please do so.
bugs me too. They do it to fit 16x9 widescreen high def TVs. Originally, these were shot and broadcasted at 4x3 (640x480 definition). It is rather distracting, i agree.
Drazen is one of the greatest shooters of all time, but Steph is easily the greatest shooter of all time, and 2nd place isn't even close. It's not a discount on Drazen's to say that Steph is the better shooter. No one in league history is a better shooter than Steph and I'm saying this as a die hard Blazers fan.
European GOAT 1. Arvydas 2.-7. Drazen, Detlef, Dirk, Gallis, Kukoc, Doncic Asian GOAT 1. Loyzaga 2. Borck 3. Mumar 4.-5. Caidic Yao 6. Shin American GOAT 1. Jordan 2.-8. Kareem Wilt Magic Bird Isiah Bill Bob Oceania 1. Gaze
Arvydas had the potential to be Euro GOAT, but injuries prevented him. Kukoč and Bodiroga were better than both Galis and Schrempf. Jokić, Luka and Giannis are already in conversation for Euro GOAT. You forgot to mention Pau Gasol and Tony Parker. Also, Dragan Kićanović, Krešimir Ćosić and Dražen Dalipagić should be in every conversation.
Guys. I think you all are saying Nowitzki was the best european. Id say Sabonis , Kucoc and in some time antetokounmpo, are better than Dirk. And Im spanish and I dont wanna sound biased but Pau vs Dirk. I dont think its clear whos the best.
Drazen when he was 16 years old, he rejected an offer from the University of Notre Dame, among other things because of the political regime of Yugoslavia at the time. If he had accepted that offer, he might have acquired the defensive fundamentals to have been an all-star from the start. He stayed here in Europe and on an offensive level he swept. There has been no one like him in that regard. The best for me.
@@CarlosSanchez-no4lj Sorry, but you don't know what you're talking about. Several players from the former Yugoslavia played college basketball, including Hall of Fame center Krešimir Ćosić, who played for the BYU Cougars from 1970 to 1973. Several players from the former Yugoslavia received and refused offers to play in the NBA - the aforementioned Krešimir Ćosić, Dragan Kićanović (officially the best Serbian player of the 20th century and Dražen Petrović's idol) who received an offer from the Indiana Pacers, and Hall of Famer Dražen Dalipagić, who after the 1976 Olympics even went to play in the Summer League for the Boston Celtics and averaged over 30ppg, but still refused to sign with the Celtics. The reason why they didn't play in the NBA was not the political regime in Yugoslavia, but the FIBA rules at the time, because if they went to the NBA, they would lose the right to play for the Yugoslav national team.
For Who dont knows what Drazen made in Europe, x exemple : Finale European Cup vs italiani team with Oscar S. : His team Real Madrid win, Oscar 48 points, Drazen 62p. with 18/26 from field, 8/12 from 3p, 18/19 ft...l
He won back 2 back Euroleague titles with Cibona and won a Yugoslavian championship with his hometown team Šibenka when he was 18 and led that same team to 2 consecutive Korać Cup finals. The only other player who dominated at such a young age is Luka Dončić, but Dražen was even more dominant.
best shooter of all time Ray? no Reggie? no Steph? no Kerr? no Drazen Petrovic is the greatest shooter the game has ever known had he not died young no telling what kind of amazing things we could've seen
Alecsander Hamilton Michaels 92 season was easily his most effortless season. In other words, MJ was the best MJ in 1992 and not 1991. Also Pippen was best Pippen in 1992 which made MJ’s job even easier. The Bulls were stronger in 1996 and 1997 than 1992 , regardless of what Ainge or anyone else thinks, the 1996 and 1997 Bulls were stronger than the 1992 Bulls, but MJ and Pippen, Grant and even Rodman had he been a Bull in 1992, were all the best versions of themselves. It’s just Rodman Pippen Jordan Kukoc is > Grant Pippen Jordan Cartwright. So sorry. But back to the message... - 67-15 his best regular season record yet - He averaged I believe 30.1 points which was his third lowest after shortened second season and rookie season but his team still won the most games - Pippen was officially prime - Jordan was in his athletic prime, physical prime and though 96 was effortless and 97 very close as well, Jordan could score 30.1 on over 50% still exhausting himself less, taking more jumpers than before 1992 but also being able to physically get to the rim more efficiently than Jordan in 1996 or 1997 where I believe he averaged 30.4 and 29.7 respectively, which puts 1992 between those two season in PPG but he also did it more smoothly and efficiently, he wasn’t over 50% again after 93 I’d guess off my head right now. Now the playoffs were a different story, the Knicks hit em square in the nose in game 1 and their season really began. The 92 playoffs were Chicago’s toughest. They lost 7 games after the first round, went 7 with New York and their dynasty was almost derailed as unexpectedly and faster than it even started. The Cavs and Blazers went 6 each with Chicago and were tied 2-2 both series. But MJs regular season was MJ and Chicago’s apex of the 88-94 era, he could do less, at his best and Chicago would do the rest. They won a championship in Chicago Stadium, they went back to back, they survived New York’s surprise attack, and distinguished the last two “teams of the 90’s in CLE and POR. Examples of this effortless ability from MJ and Chicago were the Game 7 vs NY when they won 110-81 in a sudden death situation. Game 1 vs Portland when they won by the second half of a finals game and MJ went for 35 points in the first half, hit six threes at an automatic clip, but could finish with 39 points and call it a day instead of going for another 60 + like the days prior to 1991 when Michael’s efforts weren’t a guaranteed win much less a blowout. And Game 6 vs Portland when Jordan could sit on the bench start of the 4th Qtr and let Pippen and the benchman erase a 15 point deficit to steal a second title going away. The Bulls and MJ were their most explosive prior to 1996 and 1997 when they took what 92 did and made it a normality. 1993 they did not have this same energy and swagger until 60-70 games into the season and in the playoffs when they again showed that surging raging Bull ability. Again New York took sails out of Chicago’s stampede but after returning home Chicago wrapped up 4 straight and then put Phoenix in a chokehold off jump and merely lost two games due to Phoenix’s explosability but only in desperation and not in rhythm.

Ummm, couldn't even breathe on Jordan. How dare anyone lie and say the game was more physical back then. Man-to-Man D was weak. Guys like Green, Iguadala, and Kawhi would annihilate all those fools back then.
Are you dumb or just plain stupid? Iguodala gets pretty much demolished by LeBron these days and you think he would've slow down Jordan? 👎 Anyway, Pippen was better than Kawhi and far better than Draymond.
Don't see much of a "Duel" I see MJ putting it on another solid NBA guard.. Petrovic was good and hit some shots and played hard but I think it's just nostalgia.. I watched these games and him coming off bench in Portland.. if he was anywhere near MJ level he'd have started or definitely got more minutes for an NBA championship in 1990..

I guarantee all that dude did was make MJ better.
Alecsander Hamilton
Michaels 92 season was easily his most effortless season.
In other words, MJ was the best MJ in 1992 and not 1991.
Also Pippen was best Pippen in 1992 which made MJ’s job even easier. The Bulls were stronger in 1996 and 1997 than 1992 , regardless of what Ainge or anyone else thinks, the 1996 and 1997 Bulls were stronger than the 1992 Bulls, but MJ and Pippen, Grant and even Rodman had he been a Bull in 1992, were all the best versions of themselves. It’s just Rodman Pippen Jordan Kukoc is > Grant Pippen Jordan Cartwright. So sorry. But back to the message...
- 67-15 his best regular season record yet
- He averaged I believe 30.1 points which was his third lowest after shortened second season and rookie season but his team still won the most games
- Pippen was officially prime
- Jordan was in his athletic prime, physical prime and though 96 was effortless and 97 very close as well, Jordan could score 30.1 on over 50% still exhausting himself less, taking more jumpers than before 1992 but also being able to physically get to the rim more efficiently than Jordan in 1996 or 1997 where I believe he averaged 30.4 and 29.7 respectively, which puts 1992 between those two season in PPG but he also did it more smoothly and efficiently, he wasn’t over 50% again after 93 I’d guess off my head right now.
Now the playoffs were a different story, the Knicks hit em square in the nose in game 1 and their season really began.
The 92 playoffs were Chicago’s toughest.
They lost 7 games after the first round, went 7 with New York and their dynasty was almost derailed as unexpectedly and faster than it even started.
The Cavs and Blazers went 6 each with Chicago and were tied 2-2 both series.
But MJs regular season was MJ and Chicago’s apex of the 88-94 era, he could do less, at his best and Chicago would do the rest.
They won a championship in Chicago Stadium, they went back to back, they survived New York’s surprise attack, and distinguished the last two “teams of the 90’s in CLE and POR.
Examples of this effortless ability from MJ and Chicago were the Game 7 vs NY when they won 110-81 in a sudden death situation.
Game 1 vs Portland when they won by the second half of a finals game and MJ went for 35 points in the first half, hit six threes at an automatic clip, but could finish with 39 points and call it a day instead of going for another 60 + like the days prior to 1991 when Michael’s efforts weren’t a guaranteed win much less a blowout.
And Game 6 vs Portland when Jordan could sit on the bench start of the 4th Qtr and let Pippen and the benchman erase a 15 point deficit to steal a second title going away. The Bulls and MJ were their most explosive prior to 1996 and 1997 when they took what 92 did and made it a normality.
1993 they did not have this same energy and swagger until 60-70 games into the season and in the playoffs when they again showed that surging raging Bull ability. Again New York took sails out of Chicago’s stampede but after returning home Chicago wrapped up 4 straight and then put Phoenix in a chokehold off jump and merely lost two games due to Phoenix’s explosability but only in desperation and not in rhythm.
Petro best ever. Jordan the second best.

Hey viewers, didnt I see Jordan traveling at 3:55 of this video.
Ummm, couldn't even breathe on Jordan. How dare anyone lie and say the game was more physical back then. Man-to-Man D was weak. Guys like Green, Iguadala, and Kawhi would annihilate all those fools back then.
They would annihilate Pippen and Jordan? Good post.
Are you dumb or just plain stupid? Iguodala gets pretty much demolished by LeBron these days and you think he would've slow down Jordan? 👎 Anyway, Pippen was better than Kawhi and far better than Draymond.
Freddy Brand shit up u sound stupid
Freddy Brand you are an idiot
Disappointed Knick's Fan Pippen's not better than Kawhi.
Don't see much of a "Duel" I see MJ putting it on another solid NBA guard.. Petrovic was good and hit some shots and played hard but I think it's just nostalgia.. I watched these games and him coming off bench in Portland.. if he was anywhere near MJ level he'd have started or definitely got more minutes for an NBA championship in 1990..
I see that you dont undrstand how first euro players where treated in the late 80-s.
I bet kobe studied this game
