Petrovic would in 2026 modern NBA average 40 ppg and shoot 50 40 90 multiple seasons 🔥💯
He was abusing the hell out of pippen
Challenge? I take it.
RIP Drazen Petrovic aka Petro nicknamed The Mozart of Parquet greatness was gone too soon in 93
The Orlando Magic wasn't scared of the Houston Rockets.. they Still got swept 4-0 in the finals. Point being, you don't have to be scared to get your A$$ beat.
Petro being played by MJ: "This guy won't let me breathe!"
Petro being played by Scottie: "This is easy!"
RIP, a real talent
He would’ve been a HOFer. Gone too soon.
When they mention the great shooters, they should mention MJ. It’s only ever 3-point shooters talked about, — when there’s far more usable real estate within the 3 than without, — particularly the ones who spot-up or catch-and-shoot. ‘90-93 MJ is one of the 15 best all-around shooters to ever play. Dude could shoot off-the-dribble, off-the-catch, over either shoulder, hanging, floating to the side, after getting hit, double-teamed, triple-teamed, it didn’t matter… and he was still hyper-efficient when doing so! Most of the dudes we talk about percentages would plummet if they faced that level of defensive attention and attempted the shots MJ took.
He’s a Warrior!
It’s amazing how European players have been talented for decades when basketball isn’t even perhaps their top 3 sport. Fast forward to present, the top 10 best players are nearly half: Jokic, Luka, Wemby, Giannis.
2 pros going at it! This is what basketball and competition is all about! In the immortal words of Rick Flair "to be the best you have to beat the best!" Rest easy Petro 🙏! One of the hardest working players of all time, with one of the prettiest smooth jumpers out there! Petro was fundamentally sound and precise! There's only 1 GOAT at the top of the mountain #23!!!
Stacy King was just happy to be on Jordan's team
When petro died even us Knicks fans was sad. The man played hard and gave it all he got thats all u can ask for RIP !
Petro was an absolute problem. Dude was a straight up sniper.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤RIP❤❤❤❤❤❤PETRO
This is why I've been saying he's the best European player I've ever watched since he passed. Because of the way he played against Jordan.
RIP DP!
If you want to know how Luka Doncic would play in Jordan's era, look at Drazen Petrovic.
Look at how competitive they were playing against each other. I’ve got to go back and watch some of the games from past eras.
Cara o Drazen nos deixou precocemente. Foi um gigante, extremamente competitivo
The intensity back then was like as if they were playing game 7 of the NBA finals…Bulls 90, Nets 79… And you see what a joke the game has become today with scores like 150 to 130…. No defense and just launching 3s. Peak NBA were in the 90s and early Shaq/Kobe era.
DP was a beast on the hardwood. Balling out in beyond,thanks for the good times…DP RIP.
"This guy Petro" is a wild thing to call arguably one of the GOAT European basketball stars. He tragically passed away before his time at 28 in a car accident.
They definitely gave him his flowers in nba 2k. I played against with bulls and he was an absolute menace to guard. Sad to know he died that year.
Drazen was special to watch, Hall of Fame potential. Wish he was still with us.
MJ fell for that pump fake, then caught on…. It was deadly.
This game rare AF
Canijo!! Jordan un verdadero demonio 😈. K velocidad. Pip s vio muy minomorizado al lado de petro; no fue su día. Perdiendo balones, intentos d bloqueos. Y todavía s atreven a decir k no es el goat.
Petrovic, seeing and watching him briefly as uh kid in the 90's this guy was phenomenal to the tenth Power. RIP 😢
Petrovich was so ahead of his time and good. It almost feels like Jordan is not using his athleticism here to prove a point. He has a few put backs and a lob but 0 dunks. It's almost like he was trying to prove i can really shoot the ball I'm not just all athleticism. And he was trying to prove that because Drazen is not a freak athlete but was a freak shooter. Cool to see. Maybe it's coincidence, but this is prime michael jordan he coulda tore the rim off on a number of these plays. Maybe he was tired, but it feels to me like he was really trying to challenge himself.
