|
|
Teams: Bosna Sarajevo (BIH), Real Madrid (ESP)
Summary: A tall playmaker with creativity and poise not seen before him in European basketball before, Mirza Delibasic made a career of breaking stereotypes. His no-look passes, unbelievable court vision and outstanding scoring skills made him a sight to behold for fans across Europe. Delibasic helped unheralded Bosna win the 1979 Euroleague title, scoring 30 points in the title game while also helping Zarko Varajic break the scoring record with 45 points. Delibasic also won World and European titles with Yugoslavia and played for Real Madrid before retiring in 1983 due to a brain hemorrhage. Delibasic passed away in 2001 at age 47. |
