Dino Radja | Hall of Fame Enshrinement Speech

Check out Dino Radja's full speech following his induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

[StoneThatTheBuilderRefusedKK]

"It was much easier to play the game" the classiest line.

[Mike--]

Best speech of the night so emotional and not the scripted shit you see mostly

[rollendecuzar]

Kukoc, Divac, Radja, Petrovic they were the pioneers of european players that can really play in the NBA.

[bigmez]

One of the true masters of European basket. You deserved it, now we want toni

[bakirkapetanovic]

Ovo je bilo baš ono karakteristično i tipično iz duše, balkanski prepoznatljiv govor pun iskrenih poruka i rijeci zahvalnosti. Govor na kojeg moraš pustiti suzu, govor na kojeg smo i u Bosni i Hercegovini kao komšije ponosni na Dinu. Čestitke Rađa, Bog te čuvao. Pozdrav iz Tuzle i vjeruj cijele Bosne i Hercegovine! 🇧🇦🇭🇷💪🎖🏀🏆🥇

Great speech, stupid crowd laughed at cleaning ladies and equipment managers but Dino was dead serious about being grateful to anyone involved in his career. Legendary generation.

[arminmne]

One thing that I can't stand is when people are ungrateful.
But, it's great when you realize that your childhood heroes haven't disappointed you. I have followed Dino throughout his entire career and to see that he's showing genuine and heart-felt gratitude is a wonderful thing (he mentioned all his coaches and teammates who are Serbian, Bosnian, Montenegrian.... his COUNTRIES, physios and who not). I am from Montenegro and just loved that Jugoplastika team with Dino and Toni (my all time favourite basketball player), the Yugoslav U21 Bormio team (if you are from former Yugoslavia, you know what I mean), then I cheered Croatia in that Barselona "92 final....
Congratulations to Dino, the great MAN!

[blagojelukic]

This man is pure gold.. You know he is cos we Serbs love him

[buzzy-ears]

To those who are just now learning about Dino Radja, this guy and his generation, the guys he listed, were our Jordans and Magics. They were superstars, they were on TV, their cultural impact matching any of the guys you grew up watching. He seems so tame and humble when he speaks and you can ALWAYS barely hear him, but he was the definition of a beast on the court and introduced dunking and fast breaks and explosions to a continent with basically a bunch of skinny guys standing and passing until someone skyhooks it from deep. They went through a terrible time together where their countries were slaughtering eachother, and came out as fucking champions. I couldn't have asked for better role models. Great people achieve great things, and as surreal as this feels, this guy earned his spot in the Hall of Fame a million times over.

Congratulations, champion.

Respect from GREECE !! Thanks Dino for coming to Greece !! good luck

Kosarka je moj omiljeni sport, ali od svih kosarskasa na ovom svetu Dino je za mene najveci covek. Iskren, skroman, emotivan, umeren, razuman, hrabar, posten... U vremenu i prostoru kada su svi bili egoisti i uz to veliki Hrvati, Srbi, kurcevi, palcevi, on je bio i ostao prvenstveno covik. Hvala ti Dino sto si nam svima pokazao kako treba da izgleda pravi sportista, jer si ti idealni primer istog.

[masterclass]

[boriszulj]

Bravo kralju. Uživao sam gledajući te i divio ti se kao teenager sve godine tvoje karijere!

[KARAOTI]

Dino is a class act. He deserved it 100% and I feel very proud for him as a fan of Panathinaikos.

[zanovetalo]

Dino, hvala ti za sve legendo. Pozdrav iz Beograda.

[lavzorvic]

Svaka cast na fenomenalnoj karieri! Divan govor pravog sprtsmena i velikog coveka!
Jugoslavija i kasnije Hrvatska nije imala boljeg krilnog centra.

[ivanmaj]

svaka čast, dino... toplo, ljudski, sportski... sve najbolje iz beograda.

[dannyboiboi]

People don't understand how good he really was, and had no knees left. Check his stats. Great player.
