Pesic: “Serbian basketball is heading towards the bottom…”

The alarm bell for the path it has taken serbian basketball, struck through an interview with o Svetislav Pesic.



The federal coach of “plavi”, speaking in Croatia and in “Index”, warned everyone in Serbia that the country’s basketball is heading full speed towards the… bottomand how immediate actions should be taken to avoid this.

“I often warned people in Serbia that we are on the way to catch Croatia in basketball. And that means we’re on the right track to getting to the bottom.

Unless something changes in the thinking of the people who lead Serbian basketball and bear the responsibility, we will be happy if we qualify for EuroBasket and MundoBasket. We should forget the Olympics, but people don’t like that. That’s why it’s no surprise that I never fully integrated into Serbian basketball.”he said characteristically.

Afterwards, the 75-year-old coach also talked about the superstar of the Denver Nuggets and the national team of Serbia, Nikola Jokic, labeling him as the greatest basketball player he has ever coached in his career!

“The leader is Nikola. Jokic is the best right now and the best I’ve coached. Before him were Kukoc and Bodiroga.”
