Remember Drazen Petrovic….Nets!

When Nets sharpshooter Anthony Morrow began to compete in the 3-point shooting contest during All-Star weekend.

Drazen was more than just a shooter, he had a silky smooth game that amazed many American basketball fans especially at the time when European players we’re being criticized for being too soft or too slow. Petro broke that mold displaying toughness, passion and knowledge on the court. I remember watching Drazen play against the original Dream Team in the 1992 Olympics.
