THE Pero Andits he had the good fortune during his long and great career to work with two of the greatest coaches in history. The reason, of course, for the late, Dusan Ivkovicbut also with him Zelimir Obradovic.
The veteran center appeared on a TV show of his hometown and talked about them two legendary coachesemphasizing, among other things, that the current coach of Partizan could be your best friend, but at the same time… take out your soul!
The statements of Pero Adić:
“Ivkovic, one of the greatest coaches in history, took me to Olympiakos after the 2011 Eurobasket. He is more of a go-getter, while Obradovic is more of a thinker.
He has won nine Euroleagues, yet he stays up until dawn watching and studying the NBA. In training he tells his players what he learned. It has specific principles and is proactive.
For 22 hours Obradovic is your best friend, but for the other two he sucks your soul. If he tells you “this is wood”, you must agree. If he tells you “this is iron”, too. If you don’t, then you’ll run 80 laps and then we’ll see if you say it again. When you work with him you can go against him, but at the end of the day you were the loser. It teaches players discipline.”
