After a brief stay in the NBA, Danilovic returned to Europe and helped Kinder Bologna lift its first Euroleague trophy, too, in 1998.

WHAT THEY SAY...
Pedrag Danilovic: "I am pretty honored, very honored. I believe it's a wonderful thing. It's the first 50 Years. I suppose the next one will be in another 50 years. I am pretty honored and grateful to the people that did this beautiful thing to remember all the players that contributed to European basketball. My biggest memories is winning the Champions' Cup with Partizan in 1992 and with Kinder Bologna in 1998. Those are the most beautiful moments in my sports career. Basketball changed a lot in recent years. I can't say it's another basketball. It's new, but it is always the same: you have to get a basket if you want to win."
