Heartfelt message from Clippers Star about Warriors coach who tragically passed away

Dejan Milojević was one of the most beloved coaches, not just with the Golden State Warriors, but in the entire NBA. When he tragically passed away last season, it shocked players around the world. Even today, Clippers center Ivica Zubac feels emotional when he thinks about him.

After the Clippers defeated the Golden State Warriors on Sunday night, Ivica Zubac was asked
Milojević and how much he still remembers him to this day. Zubac then gave an emotional response about the late coach. and the two were closer friends than people realized.

“I think about him a lot, especially when we come here to play the Warriors,” Zubac said. “It’s hard not to see him behind the couch. He was a great guy. Every time we came into town, I would go to his apartment, his wife would make us dinner and we would play cards.”

Milojević was a mentor not only to Warriors players, but also to European big men around the world. Zubac credits Milojević for developing his left hook shot.

“He was a very special man, I learned a lot from him and throughout my years in the league he gave me advice,” Zubac said. He pushed me a lot to rely on my left hook shot, most teams try to take away my right hook, he told me to always rely on it, he said ‘you have a good feel for the ball, you’ have a good left hand, we need to see more of that.’ I really miss him.”

European big men have left a huge mark on the modern NBA. If that proves anything, it proves that Dejan Milojević was a very successful coach.
