Crvena Zvezda ABA LIGA Šampion!!

Wow. Days later, I have to made this article and congratulations to Crvena Zvezda. The brilliant front office and the players that made this possible, naming Marcus Williams, Nikola Rebić, Nikola Čvorović, Nemanja Dangubić, Aleksandar Aratinović, team captain Luka Mitrović, Branko Lazić, Jaka Blažič, Nikola Kalinić, Boban Marjanović, Đorđe Kaplanović, Marko Tejić, Aleksa Radanov, Charles Jenkins, Stefan Jović and Maik Zirbes.

They dominated the series 3-1, crushing KK Cedevita, who wasn't prepared to face the return of the Star's dominating ABA Liga season. No need to mention the losers as well but it was a well deserved season for Zvezda that made it far into the Euroleague Top 16 but were too inexperienced but was displaying the hype and promise in close games and some graceful wins.

Now, let's see if their Greek compatriots, Olympiacos BC would go all the way to the Finals and Zvezda would win the Serbian League Champiosnhip.

Forever Red!

When there be the next Serbian Big Thing?

Yes, they came out big by 2014 and have the true best basketball system after America. But why they don't have an NBA player? Personal or lack of scouting maybe. The world instead wanted to see Dario Šarić or Mario Hezonja. Little did they know about Dejan Kravić or Dušan Ristić or even Bogdan Bogdanović who was named the best young player in Euroleague while playing his last season for Partizan.

Some players like Miloš Teodosić would play for the higher competition in Europe, citing lack of playing if he signs for an NBA team. Only as of January 6, 2015, Ognjen Kuzmić plays for the Golden State Warriors but lacks playing time even if the team lacks a big man in the regular rotation.

I would try to suprise if the San Antonio Spurs franchise would try to bring Nemanja Dangubić. As we know, San Antonio is one of the best for developing foreign talent and Nemanja could bestfit their. Speaking of Nemanja, Nemanja Nedović, who is the European Derrick Rose cannot crack the rotation despite that raw talent. That is he not given the playing time even 20 minutes! 

Serbs are better players without the referees' help or without those fancy American moves. Can't they be worse? They finished 7th in Eurobasket 2013 and Nemanja Nedović, Nenad Krstić and Nemanja Bjelica were their only gunners because Miloš Teodosić was injured leading to Eurobasket.

So, don't they deserve to enter the NBA and contribute?
