Remember that I upload two videos every week. Okay, I said, let's dive into today's episode. Now, the first clip we are on. I'm going to take a look at Joe Dumas of the Detroit Bad Boy Pistons and two former New Jersey Nets teammates, Derek Coleman and Kenny Anderson, looking toward gas, but three for the NBA's leading three-point shooter. I followed every game, every game I would have ties and see what he did against you know everyone in the league. Kenny Anderson, right side, Petrovic vs. Joe D. 15-foot fall. He dropped 30 on me so fast that night and I'm telling you I got a hand.

In his face, I'm right on top of him and it was like a machine. Reggie Miller once told me that he loved playing against Petrovic because he could talk trash in four languages. He was about 40 in Jordan and he was heading to Jordan as there is nothing like give me the ball I'm hot I'll take it right away gas sending a little message let's go after Jordan here is Pedro a couple that's what I knew I said I'm already here I was confident no it doesn't matter shot he took, it's like he's kicking me for three dc, kick me ross and

petrovic

, you gotta love this guy.

I started running back to the court with my hands up because it was money, I could play there and I could help. You win the challenge, no money can push you to play better, but if you challenge me, I will kill you, that was him now. The following clip is from the original Dream Team documentary and involves John Stockton saying what he felt when he was playing against draz and petrovic at the olympic games a couple of them that I knew I remember uh deadlift shrimp that he had played for seattle and he he tasted pretty good I remember coming out at halftime you know he was limping he wasn't playing yet coming out at halftime with them and they dragged him, he was kicking rocks and dragging his head and I said, hey, you're having fun with the deadlift, oh no , this is not the uh and that was pretty much the approach of all the NBA guys that came. except for one and that was I thought Drazen Petrovic was the only person that felt like he had a chance to play like that and you know that was the only guy that stood out.

Did you ever play against the late great me? I had to defend him, he tied it, that was not fun, amazing player, now I know they played, you know, two different positions, but who would you say he is the toughest competitor, the best player? Can you make any of those comparisons? They were not. They were both great players. The tie was. the better shooter, the better scorer, Tony was a better all-around player, but they were both fantastic. Now the next clip we'll see involves Drowsin Petrovic's biggest rival, Reggie Miller, and he gets a lot of respect for dressing like that.

Check it out, I consider myself, you know, I'm being a little braggart, but I consider myself the greatest marksman of all time, but there's a guy who surpasses me and he got under my skin and the reason he got under my skin. It's because many times. I couldn't understand what he was saying and it was the last big draws and Petrovich, oh yeah, this guy when he came off the screens and started talking to you, you couldn't understand them, he smelled like he'd never showered, maybe that's it. . It was a common thing to talk about wanting to strangle someone, yes, Drazen Petrovic was my nemesis, I couldn't stand this guy, but to this day I respect him because I think he is the best shooter I have ever seen, better than Ray Allen, the best.

The shooter I've ever seen, yes you mentioned Petrovich, I didn't expect you to say that not many people knew he knew Dresden, that he was an honorable guy, yes, and the most frustrating guy I've ever faced, that was mostly when he was with Portland, no, when he was in New Jersey, sure, yeah, that's when he really did his thing after the Blazers, yeah, they traded him from Portland and he went to New Jersey and became a star and the best, the best shooter I've ever played. cons, yes he would encourage everyone to go watch straws and play.

I've never seen anything like it, yeah, I mean, yeah, can you go into more detail about it because you know it was really cool. He died too young, um and people. today the average casual fan may not know who he was how he was different from some of the guys the great shooters you played against people talk about steph's release being so fast well petrovic had the quickest release that I have ever seen in my life and what made it so unique is that I pride myself on working off screens and you know, working off screens, yes he was just as good and we talked about footwork, yes, possibly one one of the best guys with that footwork as a shooting guard, so right now. incredible tony parker, an all-time international player, yeah, um, and he was very athletic, very athletic in his ability to throw the ball, he was not afraid, he was not afraid of anything as you know, he was not afraid.

At the time he wasn't afraid of anything and, an excellent catch and shoot player, Michael would usually chase him away. That shot hung on the screen. Jordan posting Petrovic tends to shoot. There's a triple team at Purdue that couldn't handle it. the ball goes to the next petrovic there's that fake ball again bob did you see him free scotty pippen that's twice in the game look at the fake ball here you shooters watch him use the fake ball boom and scotty the buy now gets foot? and he buries the shot, that's just a great play, Walker, they want him to make that shot, let's see, that's where you miss Bj Armstrong, when you bring him in to defend, you're going to force him to make that open shot.

Jordan started this break by snapping the ball. he didn't go to walker, he went to new jersey and the nets have their second lead in the game, it's hard to contain all three of them at the same time, so when one gets going and you try to calm him down and usually the other guy or one of the other two steps up petrovic michael is a little frustrated right now petrovic is scoring right now a nice screen came up and you can see michael was trying to accept the challenge he's squeaking okay guys that was it.
