ESPN 30 for 30 Once Brothers(Jednom Braća) 6/8

Drazen Petrovic and Vlade Divac were two friends who grew up together sharing the common bond of basketball. Together, they lifted the Yugoslavian National team to unimaginable heights. After conquering Europe, they both went to America where they became the first two foreign players to attain NBA stardom. But with the fall of the Soviet Union on Christmas Day 1991, Yugoslavia split up. A war broke out between Petrovic's Croatia and Divac's Serbia. Long buried ethnic tensions surfaced. And these two men, once brothers, were now on opposite sides of a deadly civil war. As Petrovic and Divac continued to face each other on the basketball courts of the NBA, no words passed between the two. Then, on the fateful night of June 7, 1993, Drazen Petrovic was killed in an auto accident. "Once Brothers" will tell the gripping tale of these two men, how circumstances beyond their control tore apart their friendship, and whether Divac has ever come to terms with the death of a friend before they had a chance to reconcile.

My Vlade... You're the only normal man at the time of greatest madness....and present you as the only crazy ...

Drazen was a great player and could have even more to achieve ... but did not achieve to be a man and a friend, when it should be ... :-(

@sendinkarovic kako da ne uvek je neko drugi kriv.tipicno komunjarsko razmisljanje

[sendinkarovic]

@eulex10 pa nakon raspada SKJ naravno da ti samo preostaje da biras za one koji mislis da su tvoji i ko je znao sta su budale planirale...

[eulex10]

@sendinkarovic a ko ih je birao?Jupiterovci?

[eulex10]

Croats are Nazi fuks and they proved that over and over again.

@bluzercic You dont know what friend is.You dont know how to forgive or how to understand.

You are just blinded.Did you know Divac to say something like that to him?

[bluzercic]

Drazen knew him better then almost anyone. You think he would have very good reason for doing what he did.

"Vlade`˙s sorry for this.. " - "I dont think so"

He knew it.
