Drazen Petrovic - Nets

          In Memoriam
Drazen Petrovic 1964-1993

Drazen Petrovic

  Croatian sportsman of the
                century

We rarely have an opportunity to experience immense joy and pride like we had in that summer of 1992.
Who can forget that August day when, a few second before siren sound, the captain took responsibility, aware that it was the only way to lead us to the finals. Croatia stood still while he was scoring both free throws and took us into Olimpic history. The final match against Dream Team was a dessert that we all watched with pleasure and pride.
We were expecting that it was just the beginning of the success of Croatian basketball. But a tragic incident on German highway not only took away our team leader and locomotive, but it also took away a great sportsman and human being. After Drazen nothing was the same anymore. His character is still in hearts of many people, and his persistence, devotion and honesty have already entered into the legend. At the end of 1999 he was selected as the Croatian sportsman of the 20th century. As the song dedicated to Drazen says...

Zivot leti, kapetane, mladost bizi, a na srcu frizi.
Dok nas s naseg kampanela i sad bude od Boga batude
Svoju su dobrotu ostavija svima
Nekoj novoj dici igru s Baldekina
.

Toni Kukoc

             Toni Kukoc

In Europe they called him The Pink Panther, his lucidity and intelligence fascinated everyone. He gave three European team basketball titles to his hometown. He won two Olympic silvers, a World Champion title and many awards in Croatia and Europe. In 1992 he was ready to move to the homeland of basketball. He joined the Chicago Bulls, he got the nickname The Croatian Sensation, and he reached the top, he won three NBA rings in a row. The new NBA season is his opportunity to play with the best players at the All-Star game. He continued his career in NBA as a Philadelphia 76's and Atlanta Hawks player, and now he is playing for Milwaukee Bucks. While he was still playing in Europe, an anonymous American who was in Europe noticed him. A few years after that, when he returned home at Bronx, he was telling his friends about a man he saw in Europe, a man that was going to play in Chicago later. He had only one thing to say and that was… "He plays like a brother". Is there a better compliment...

The seal of Omis

       Dalmatian klapa

Kada bi se, nakon teska dana, motike spremile u konobe ili izvadile mrize iz mora, prijatelji bi se sastali u konobi ili pored mora i pjesma bi potekla. Upravo ta pjesma predstavlja cijelu pisanu povijest. Koliko je zapravo stara prva klapa u Hrvata? Stara je koliko je staro prvo prijateljstvo i srodne duse iz cijih je srca potekla pjesma...

Sasa Alfirev

 

Dalmatian klapa and Festival in OmišThe author of this paragraph in Croatian is also the author of an excellent page dedicated to Dalmatian klapa singing and the Festival of Dalmatian klapa in Omis.
