Zeljko Is The Greatest Basketball Offensive Mind Ever

Zeljko Obradovic is like a Godfather of European basketball. His influence on other coaches here is enormous and even Gregg Popovich, arguably the best NBA coach ever, has admitted to stealing plays from Zeljko.

In this video, BasketNews’ Augustas Suliauskas gives examples of popular modern plays that Obradovic ran 10 or 20 years ago already and analyzes the offense of his current team - Partizan Belgrade.

Ivkovic and Obradovic in 1996 Olympics made Yugoslavia the first team to force the Dream Team coach Lenny Wilkens to call a time out.

I don’t know if I should like the video because I think that Mr. Obradović is the best coach in the whole world.

Lessort is doing massive job off ball screening everywhere and at the same time has one of the highest PIRs. No words for zeljco, he is the greatest ever

[pierovittori]

The man is a basketball Genius. Despite an overall limited talent as a player he not only made the team multiple times in Yugoslavia's most legendary teams but he was often on the court in crunch time. Or, as coach Tanjevic's quote 'when arsehole is chewing pants time'.

No wonder he became one of the most legendary coaches in the sport. Possibly THE most legendary.

Him and Duda are the best in Europe. Huge respect from an Olympiakos supporter.

"If there was a Nobel prize for coaching basketball, Željko Obradović is the one who deserves it for his accomplishments" ~ Dušan Ivković

[HULK]

While he was still an active player in my hometown, his desire to become a coach and end his career as an active player is incredible, the results show that his decision was excellent.He is one of the greatest.

Great coach is also the one who can make the players understand and running it instinctively. Translating from coach's mind to player's kind is unbelievably harder than just creating plays. This coach did both. kudos

[dynctive]

Coach Obradovic is always at the cutting edge of the latest offensive innovations in basketball. He is one of the greatest coaches in the history of basketball, NBA teams have lost out on the opportunity to make their clubs great by overlooking him as a possible head coach. I would love to see him coach this current Minnesota Timberwolves squad and assist in building Anthony Edwards into one of the greatest players of his generation

[asicdathens]

As an Olympiakos fan, it saddens me to say that Zeljko is the best coach in the world

[botSemijaOdzeleja]

I am Croatian, but I think he is the best coach in the world.

[canbenli]

I think this video title and some comments in it is extremely misleading. It is true that Zeljko is one of the greatest offensive minds in basketball history and also has his footprints all over today’s offensive plays. However the truth is that not only he’s one of the greatest offensive minds, he’s the fucking goat. That’s it.

[aleksandars.]

Really great video! Finally we have some YT channel that makes really good Euro Basket videos! Regards from Serbia for the whole crew!

[balkannightcore]

I strongly reccomend you to watch documentary Partizan de Fuenlabrada to learn about Zeljko's beginning and his first European trophy at his first coaching season as youngest coach with youngest team in Europe at that moment.

[TheFesttrotter]

The originator of each play you are looking for is Aleksandar Nikolic, he is basketball father of Obradović (and of whole ex Yu and consequently european basketball)

[borisblace]

Great analysis
I am surprised than someone from states is paying attention on European coaches.
Obradovic achievement is impressive!!

[cynicalskeptic]

VERY, VERY well researched video! God only knows how long it took you to find the clips of all these plays. When I was younger back in the 1990's it was very difficult for me to figure out which play is which due to how players move fast and the variations. Now I have developed a better overview over the years, but I think that younger basketball fans will find useful a series of basketball plays, how they're called, variations etc. Thoughts?

[the_mindaugas]

That slip screen into stagger is a piece of art.

[brazilac]

This is a high quality video in every sense. Great research, analysis, facts the truth... You guys are starting to understand that Partizan is going to be in the final 4.
