The entire NBA community has been moving forward with a heavy heart since the tragic passing of Golden State Warriors assistant coach Dejan Milojevic earlier this week.
For very good reason, multiple Golden State Warriors games have been postponed, but it’s not just those within the Dubs organization who have been greatly impacted by Milojevic’s untimely death.
Long before Milojevic joined the Golden State Warriors coaching staff, the former Serbian basketball star had a successful career coaching basketball in his home country.
During an eight-year career as the head coach of Mega Basket of the Adriatic Basketball Association, Milojevic coached multiple players who would go on to play in the NBA, including Ivica Zubac, Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot, Goga Bitadze, Vasilije Micić, and yes, reigning NBA Finals MVP, Nikola Jokic.
