those eastern euros from the 80s and 90s had to see some crazy genocide and warfare in their lands.

Jordan couldnt shake him at all.

I remember Petrovic but i was even more impressed by Oscar Schmidt's shooting ability. He from Brazil.

I have a few of his games. Jersey games circa 92 and 93 vs LA.

Reggie is spot on. When Drazen got a rhythm going, dude was all net. His game reminds me of Klay Thompson's, except Drazen was a bit more crafty off ball.

Schmidt couldn't hang in the NBA. Drazen could.

he looks like he has a ton of dribble moves and fake outs too. and absurd hustle / motor.

Portland made him a spot up shooter and he sucked. Second he gets an opportunity hes going off for 24 ppg on 53% shooting 118 ORTG in the playoffs against mark price.

and smack talking Jordan. :lol

More creative with the ball too. Much better at maneuvering himself into a good shot.

Schmidt was thriving from spots NBA players didn't bother to follow defensively anyone not named Bird in the 80's. Defenses would have to respect Oscar, because we all know what happened to that talented Robinson-led team in the '87 Americas. He tore them apart with his shooting.

Great vid. Those pump fakes were clinical.

Now we know why MJ had him assassinated
