New Warriors coach was part of wild brawl as player in Serbia

Share

With the Warriors at the bottom of the league in terms of their pick-and-roll offense, Grant Liffmann expounds on how the Dubs need more from James Wiseman and why Daniel Theis would be a solid free-agent signing.

The Warriors reportedly will be adding Dejan Milojević to the coaching staff on the player development side.

Before the Serbian native became a coach, he played professionally in Europe for 15 years from 1994 to 2009.

And he was part of a wild brawl during the 2005-06 season with KK Partizan based in Belgrade.

Just keep your eyes on No. 13 in a white jersey:

"Milojevic was once a Serbian center, a rugged, undersized big man whose deft skills and tenacity on the glass earned him the nickname 'The Serbian [Charles] Barkley,' " ESPN's Jackie MacMullan wrote in September 2020. "He was a sturdy player who lifted weights in his kitchen.

"He was not averse to mixing it up on the court should a physical presence be required."

I would say so!

Milojević was named MVP of the Adriatic ABA League three years in a row from 2004-2006.
