Can Serbia win Eurobasket?


A Serbian win against Czech Republic propelled them to the semifinals of the 2015 Eurobasket. Even when players who have NBA experience have a hard time facing the Serbs, who went out with passion and fiery all the time. What I saw through their games is simply a testament of their continued hardwork on the court.

Miloš Teodosić is the clear leader of this team. Setting up plays for teammates and has the range anywhere on the court, it's also the task of the likes of Miroslav Raduljica, Nemanja Nedović, Nemanja Bjelica, Bogdan Bogdanović, veteran Zoran Erceg and the rest, with team effort and superb unselfishness.

The last time they won the Eurobasket Gold is way back 14 years ago, who were having Dejan Bodiroga, Peđa Stojaković and others coached by legendary coach Svetislav Pešić.

It now depends on Miloš's efforts to avoid another Silver medal, since his playing career he never won the gold medal or in professional leagues, championships(only has VTB League championships though.)

But if this unit can make it all the way to the gold with Sale Nacionale Aleksandar "Saša" Đorđević coaching with passion and fiery as well without prioritizing what his predecessors did(Dušan Ivković notably), they have a better chance to win it all.

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?
