Yea I think so, cause I seen videos of Partizan timeouts and his yelling would make me kinda scared but it would be a way to make the players listen up (plz heart this?)
9× EuroLeague champion (1992, 1994, 1995, 2000, 2002, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2017) 2× FIBA Saporta Cup champion (1997, 1999) Yugoslav League champion (1992) Catalan League champion (1994) 11× Greek League champion (2000, 2001, 2003-2011) 4× Turkish League champion (2014, 2016-2018) Yugoslav Cup winner (1992) 7× Greek Cup winner (2003, 2005-2009, 2012) 3× Turkish Cup winner (2016, 2019, 2020) Italian Super Cup winner (1997) 3× Turkish Presidential Cup winner (2013, 2016, 2017) Nobody is even not close.
@@TheRealDebussyFarts The moment where Yugoslavia trailed by 1 point at 50-51 and was the timeout score, is indeed unique in history. Add also that one key pf/c player, Zoran Savic, was injured in the SF and he was one of the smartest players in Europe,. able to charge and trick opponents c/pf with fouls, !996 USA team was the second best after the 1992 one and in the center and pf postions it was even better with Olajuwon. But I put that performance more on coaching discipline, tactics and genius that put passion on the players. The lack of that mindset, no matter the quality of players, would cost the USA team dearly for some years, when they could not afford to send the best NBA players.
Lessort is doing massive job off ball screening everywhere and at the same time has one of the highest PIRs. No words for zeljco, he is the greatest ever
@@djordjemilenkovic7484 easy, one small, a decade old club now owns the referees...You see, Euroleague is a level known for quality of some team, and your team FMP Crvena Zvezda for over a decade can not do anything in the Euroleague but exist as a laughing stock, unlike Partizan, who are heading forward in Euroleague where the refs are real, and is well known and respected club world wide with huge history and living legends in their lodge sitting.
The man is a basketball Genius. Despite an overall limited talent as a player he not only made the team multiple times in Yugoslavia's most legendary teams but he was often on the court in crunch time. Or, as coach Tanjevic's quote 'when arsehole is chewing pants time'. No wonder he became one of the most legendary coaches in the sport. Possibly THE most legendary.
He was very good player not having a chance in Yugoslav team in 80s. But in Olympic games in Seoul 1988. he was the leading gard. There is a a stupid tradition in Yugoslav/Srbian basketball to ignore such a famoous play-makers as Slavnić, A. Djordjević or Zoran Sretenović leading Yugoplastika zo 3 Eu. Ch. Cups.
While he was still an active player in my hometown, his desire to become a coach and end his career as an active player is incredible, the results show that his decision was excellent.He is one of the greatest.
Great coach is also the one who can make the players understand and running it instinctively. Translating from coach's mind to player's kind is unbelievably harder than just creating plays. This coach did both. kudos
Coach Obradovic is always at the cutting edge of the latest offensive innovations in basketball. He is one of the greatest coaches in the history of basketball, NBA teams have lost out on the opportunity to make their clubs great by overlooking him as a possible head coach. I would love to see him coach this current Minnesota Timberwolves squad and assist in building Anthony Edwards into one of the greatest players of his generation
@@ozrenm97 Another myth. Željko didn't get a contract in the NBA because Americans still don't trust European coaches. Quin Snyder was an assistant to the great Ettore Messina in CSKA, and a few years later Snyder became the head coach of the Utah Jazz, while Messina was an assistant in the NBA for 5 years, but never got a chance. Željko also talked about it. At one time, there was a possibility that Obradović would take over the Detroit Pistons, but he demanded full support from Joe Dumars and autonomy in work, but they failed to come to an agreement. It is known that he was invited to interviews several times, but Željko's famous sentence is that he gives interviews to journalists and that the trophies he won speak about him.
@@markomarkovic5729 Sure buddy but they never made an agreement because he was used to European style of teams where everything revolves around coaches, he demanded things thats not how it goes in the US.
@@ozrenm97 How do you know what he demanded? Again, I maintain that it has nothing to do with it. Do you think that Messina had some special requirements or that he didn't get a chance because of his personality, even though he is a 4-time Euroleague winner
The originator of each play you are looking for is Aleksandar Nikolic, he is basketball father of Obradović (and of whole ex Yu and consequently european basketball)
Well, not of exactly each play, but some. Prof. Nikolić was mastermind in creating Zeljko fundamentals - setting player on right place in right time, where one has advantage, that's for sure.
7:13 I remember that Obradovic use that to the 45° with fener from 2016 to 2020 with Datome and Nunnaly when he was there. and then grigonis and saras took that too
I strongly reccomend you to watch documentary Partizan de Fuenlabrada to learn about Zeljko's beginning and his first European trophy at his first coaching season as youngest coach with youngest team in Europe at that moment.
I think this video title and some comments in it is extremely misleading. It is true that Zeljko is one of the greatest offensive minds in basketball history and also has his footprints all over today’s offensive plays. However the truth is that not only he’s one of the greatest offensive minds, he’s the fucking goat. That’s it.
This is a high quality video in every sense. Great research,analysis,facts the truth... You guys are starting to understand that Partizan is going to be in the final 4.
VERY, VERY well researched video! God only knows how long it took you to find the clips of all these plays. When I was younger back in the 1990's it was very difficult for me to figure out which play is which due to how players move fast and the variations. Now I have developed a better overview over the years, but I think that younger basketball fans will find useful a series of basketball plays, how they're called, variations etc. Thoughts?
Thank you, I appreciate it a lot. I had this idea already for around 6 months and as time went on, the clips added on. I agree that the terminology nowadays is unclear sometimes, especially for those who haven't played at a certain level. But I also think we are having so much interesting basketball content on RUclips that it's getting much better lately
@@AugustasSuliauskas I agree, at this point in season there's too much stuff going on. But think about it when the season ends. Again, thanks for the great video!
This analysis is something else,thank you very much!!! Zeljko is on anither level almost 40 years,he made basketball just more beautiful with his understandig and love of the game. I’m Partizan fan so my opoinion if he is the best is way too subjective😎 Thank you for this video and I hope there is more to come. Wish you all the best
Thats the point of building teamwork. its easy to go to a huge club with unlimited resources and ask the owners for a sstar shopping spree like today's "great managers" do. What they hire him for is his ability to actually not spend money and still achieve great results without superstars. That is uncanny. To innovate and make do with what you have rather than stubbornly cling to a proven strategy and fill the spots with the best for that strategy.
The think is that in Europe we think that he is the best defensive coach of all time. He coached my team Panathinaikos and with him we took 5 European championships. He is the coach that took an athletic small forward (Mike Batiste) and made him one of the best centers in Europe. He is an defensive mastermind and a coach that inspires respect. He had, if not the best , one of the best teams in the history of Euroleague, the 2009 Panathinaikos team. A dream team, that has many stars and he managed to control them and win everything. He is a GOAT of European basketball.
Played basketball for 10 years, were playing pick n roll and horns as kids on our team. Born and played in Serbia, I can bet that in 2002-2003 my coach was grabbing stuff from Željko.
Just one info i think that hornes originate from way back . My coach teached us when i was in junior team in small basketball club in Serbia in 1995. And in Serbia every basketball player who played for any basketball team knows about hornes. And by that I mean its common knowledge and surely originates from way back. So i dont think it is Zeljko's original play either. Darwin Ham surely didnt invented it either.
Obradovic is just high point of evolution Yugoslav badketball school. It begin with Nikolic, Zeravica,Novosel, ...., Pesic and many others and will not stop for many years from now :)
Great video, u should also do a video about Pini Gershon's offense in 04 and 05, as he was playing a really modern style of offense where its run and gun and a lot of threes but 20 years ago
Hey, thank you. We have done something similar about the 2004 Maccabi last year, check it out: ruclips.net/video/eh3WsSlPu9c/видео.html&ab_channel=BasketNews
He is not Gelco or Jelco , he is Željko letter Ž, and when you good pronounce Obradović and you type Obradovic , it is not letter c it is ć at the end. His real name is Želimir and everyone calls him Željko
You might say that Zeljko is most influrntal coach in NBA today...cause Popovic take actions from him back in Coaches clinic who was two years in the row in Belgrade with bests Euro coaches abd some NBA and Gregg was first....as we know how many Popovic assisstants are coaches in NBA today ....classis example is Kerr and GSW
"Hiljade Grobara i huligana, Svoj život daće za Partizana, Za šampione EVROPE cele, Za crno-bele, za crno-bele. Partizan vole samo Delije, Delije iz ponosne Srbije, Njegovo ime neka večno sja, ŽIVEO PARTIZAN I MAJKA SRBIJA!"
In Europe the focus is on playing defense in Basketball and in the NBA the focus is offense. The NBA is concerned, about TV rating and they don't care about the quality of the game.
One thing about Popovich's plays .... Was it Jokic or whoever, that said that Pop's plays are way too predictable nowadays. So maybe he is stealing them but now, since most nba teams have top europlayer in their squad, they don't do that much damage.
I just must mention. There are some tiny "fans" of small fake club who's insulting and chanting bad words to Zeljko just becouse he is the greatest and not in that club.
Aca Nikolic , Zeravica , Ivkovic , Novosel , Tanjevic , Lechic , to je Jugoslovenska shkola kosharke ! od 1991 nadalje moze se govoriti o srpsskoj , hrvatskoj ili bilo kojoj drugoj shkoli .
Yes and a back screen was used first in the early 2000s? I've disapproved of some videos but I've never reported them as propaganda or is Spam and misleading until today. Do you understand that anyone can go and take a textbook and go back to the early 1940s to find all of these plays?
I tell this to casual NBA fans that what they saw on spurs back then in terms of offensive execution is normal and in europe is far more better. Talent wise will always be the NBA but teamwork, strategy and tactics is where euroleague is better.
Hallo. First, sorry for my english. They are not so good. Zeliko is the best coach ever in Europe, in my opinion. BUT!! Most of his plays comes from NCAA tournaments back to 1970-1990 or NBA back to 1990 - 2000. You are very young an obviously you have no books from Coaches of those days. For example: Zoom Action is part of Princeton offense, SPAIN is...the Boston Pick played in 1980 - 1990 from Boston Celtics, Horns is a formation that 76ers and coach Cunningham used with Dr.J as cutter, etc. Of course all these does not change the splendor that Zeliko has and all of his titles did not happened by accident. But when you are giving these informations you have to search more and don't stay only on what you can see. It is not the plays that make him great but his philosophy thaτ affected so many European Coaches. I am from Greece and i coach from the past 35 years. Basketball start on USA. Don't forget that. One way or another, your video is very good with a lot of information. Keep on going but try to be a litle more careful. Thank you for your time. Basketball makes everyone happy!! Have a nice day...
Željko as a player had the opportunity to play Princeton offense under Duško Vujošević in the mid-late '80s in Partizan, in the generation with Vlade Divac, Žarko Paspalj, Saša Đorđević and others. I remember that it was an action that required a very intelligent center, which Divac certainly was. USA is the cradle of basketball, but at least the Shammgod/Bodiroga whip and Eurostep moves originated in Europe😀
@@markomarkovic5729 I agree my friend. I think that Svetichianin used the Shamdog dribble first. Eurostep=Bodiroga.. and Gugoslavia 1991 team maybe the best ever!!!xaxaxa!!! Have a nice day...
You're one of the few European voices on this channel who understand the origins of continuity offense. The US was running early variations of continuity basketball 50-60 years ago under Pete Carrill and Bernard Sarachek. It was the NBA that changed, and with it, how the game has been instructed over the last 30 years in the US. I'd like to see the US get back to more free flowing basketball, but that would require a complete face-lift in how the game is taught, something that the power brokers in the NBA and NCAA aren't be willing to support since both institutions are driven by viewership, which in turn has been conditioned to see basketball as "entertainment" not as an art. Popovich, and to a lesser extent Steve Kerr, Mike Brown, Eric Spolstra, and Monty Williams are the only coaches in the NBA willing to implement some motion principles often found in European basketball.
I wonder when he will do a interview with u guys... I dont know if he will, or wont do it... Anyway here is a interview he did with RTS(National television program of Serbia), they put english subtitles so it will probably help people understand Zeljko more. It is a documentary on his life and basketball, not so much of plays but im sure it will help people understand him more :) ruclips.net/video/kvmQJ1dNAkE/видео.html
We need to have champions league of nba vs euroleague games. The best of the euroleague vs best of nba. Real Madrid vs Boston Celtics… Then we will know who is better
I agree and disagree with this video. Coach Obradovic is the best coach in the world (not just offensive coach). There are other elements like team preparation, motivation, mental strength, staff recruiting that he is second to none. Overall, he is the best.
Serbs have the best basketball coach...the best tennis player Djokovic and the best NBA basketball player...Joker...enough and too much for a small country

What makes it so special is as pointed out.. the plays are born out of the players strengths. This takes design play patterns to a whole new level

I'm honestly shocked, grateful. I think it's great basketball. I am stealing this plays myself
Bozidar Maljkovic & Jugoplastika?
Master of masters, he is.
"Hiljade Grobara i huligana,
Svoj život daće za Partizana,
Za šampione EVROPE cele,
Za crno-bele, za crno-bele.
Partizan vole samo Delije,
Delije iz ponosne Srbije,
Njegovo ime neka večno sja,
ŽIVEO PARTIZAN I MAJKA SRBIJA!"
Don't know if he is greater than Riley or Jackson but even bringing up those big names showes how great Obradovic is.
insane coach
🔥🔥🔥
In Europe the focus is on playing defense in Basketball and in the NBA the focus is offense. The NBA is concerned, about TV rating and they don't care about the quality of the game.
One of the most basic things he implies is to always move the ball in the attack
One thing about Popovich's plays .... Was it Jokic or whoever, that said that Pop's plays are way too predictable nowadays. So maybe he is stealing them but now, since most nba teams have top europlayer in their squad, they don't do that much damage.
Best basketball coach in the world or at least one of five beat ever!
The best coach by far
I just must mention. There are some tiny "fans" of small fake club who's insulting and chanting bad words to Zeljko just becouse he is the greatest and not in that club.
Zeljko is product of Serbian coach school started with Aleksandar Nikolic then pass to Duda Ivkovic then to Zeljko Obradovic
Aca Nikolic , Zeravica , Ivkovic , Novosel , Tanjevic , Lechic , to je Jugoslovenska shkola kosharke ! od 1991 nadalje moze se govoriti o srpsskoj , hrvatskoj ili bilo kojoj drugoj shkoli .
Yes and a back screen was used first in the early 2000s? I've disapproved of some videos but I've never reported them as propaganda or is Spam and misleading until today. Do you understand that anyone can go and take a textbook and go back to the early 1940s to find all of these plays?
I tell this to casual NBA fans that what they saw on spurs back then in terms of offensive execution is normal and in europe is far more better. Talent wise will always be the NBA but teamwork, strategy and tactics is where euroleague is better.
Agree!
The GOAT
he is mastermind, compiling best of ex Yugoslav aka Serbian way of the game with all that is good in leftovers from the world.
Hallo. First, sorry for my english. They are not so good. Zeliko is the best coach ever in Europe, in my opinion. BUT!! Most of his plays comes from NCAA tournaments back to 1970-1990 or NBA back to 1990 - 2000. You are very young an obviously you have no books from Coaches of those days. For example: Zoom Action is part of Princeton offense, SPAIN is...the Boston Pick played in 1980 - 1990 from Boston Celtics, Horns is a formation that 76ers and coach Cunningham used with Dr.J as cutter, etc. Of course all these does not change the splendor that Zeliko has and all of his titles did not happened by accident. But when you are giving these informations you have to search more and don't stay only on what you can see. It is not the plays that make him great but his philosophy thaτ affected so many European Coaches. I am from Greece and i coach from the past 35 years. Basketball start on USA. Don't forget that. One way or another, your video is very good with a lot of information. Keep on going but try to be a litle more careful. Thank you for your time. Basketball makes everyone happy!! Have a nice day...
Željko as a player had the opportunity to play Princeton offense under Duško Vujošević in the mid-late '80s in Partizan, in the generation with Vlade Divac, Žarko Paspalj, Saša Đorđević and others. I remember that it was an action that required a very intelligent center, which Divac certainly was. USA is the cradle of basketball, but at least the Shammgod/Bodiroga whip and Eurostep moves originated in Europe😀
@@markomarkovic5729 I agree my friend. I think that Svetichianin used the Shamdog dribble first. Eurostep=Bodiroga.. and Gugoslavia 1991 team maybe the best ever!!!xaxaxa!!! Have a nice day...
You're one of the few European voices on this channel who understand the origins of continuity offense. The US was running early variations of continuity basketball 50-60 years ago under Pete Carrill and Bernard Sarachek. It was the NBA that changed, and with it, how the game has been instructed over the last 30 years in the US. I'd like to see the US get back to more free flowing basketball, but that would require a complete face-lift in how the game is taught, something that the power brokers in the NBA and NCAA aren't be willing to support since both institutions are driven by viewership, which in turn has been conditioned to see basketball as "entertainment" not as an art. Popovich, and to a lesser extent Steve Kerr, Mike Brown, Eric Spolstra, and Monty Williams are the only coaches in the NBA willing to implement some motion principles often found in European basketball.
The greatest basketball coach ever.
Obradovoć invented basketball!
I wonder when he will do a interview with u guys... I dont know if he will, or wont do it... Anyway here is a interview he did with RTS(National television program of Serbia), they put english subtitles so it will probably help people understand Zeljko more. It is a documentary on his life and basketball, not so much of plays but im sure it will help people understand him more :)

Atlanta Hawks should hire him !
Žac Obradović for life
Zeljko is the best in the world !!!!
He is the basketball goat of the coaches.
Željko Obradović is the best in the world.
Obra is the Goat
⚫⚪
Nba coaches left the chat..
Monty Williams? He copy and pasted this entire system for the suns.
NBA coaches now are babysitters to the star players.
Come back to Athens coach OB !!
Zeljko's offensive plays are almost same to Denver Nuggets.
We need to have champions league of nba vs euroleague games. The best of the euroleague vs best of nba. Real Madrid vs Boston Celtics… Then we will know who is better
NBA teams are 52:13 in official matches against Euroleague teams.
I agree and disagree with this video. Coach Obradovic is the best coach in the world (not just offensive coach). There are other elements like team preparation, motivation, mental strength, staff recruiting that he is second to none. Overall, he is the best.
Serbs have the best basketball coach...the best tennis player Djokovic and the best NBA basketball player...Joker...enough and too much for a small country
Zeljko Obradovic is the best basketball coach in the world
samo jedan klub, samo jedan grad,
samo partizan, samo beograd!!
But if you ask 10 year old club from Zeleznik, they will tell you that he is bad coach and cancer for basketball. 🤭
Толико да ништа освојио није од како се вратио. Плачи мишо мој
No, he is a great coach, but a terrible person.
@@banoza9 Kao tvoj tata?

Zeljko is GOAT!
