[HermanG]

Oh wow he was young too. Just 46 years old. Thats really sad, and definitely the right choice to postpone the game.

I wonder what restaurant it happened at.

Probably Valter’s. Steve Kerr has mentioned that it’s one of the best restaurants in the country.

 

[Beantown]

Super sad situation. My limited intel was that he had passed but they were waiting to inform his family overseas before announcing it.

Sad. I hate how this is so common nowadays.

[Handlogten's Heros]

Everything makes sense now with the postponement. That really sucks.

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Reports are now saying he died.

Was he a bench coach or what?

I mean, can we be sure that Draymond didn't choke him out?

Tragic. Way too young.

MILOJEVIC FOR THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE: “MEGA IS STILL DOING FANTASTIC JOB”

For the first time since going to the NBA league, Dejan Milojevic gave an interview for the official website of Mega Mozzart! Only nine years after he became the coach of Mega, Dejan Milojevic managed to get a place in the coaching staff of one of the best NBA clubs – Golden State Warriors...

"In addition to winning the first trophy in the history of the club (Radivoj Korac Cup in 2016), as many as 11 players were drafted from Mega in eight years of Milojevic’s work. In that way, Mega became the most fruitful club for the NBA market outside the American continent and stood equally, side by side with the most successful American universities. Six players played directly from Mega’s jersey in the NBA league – Nikola Jokic, Ivica Zubac, Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, Vlatko Cancar, Goga Bitadze, Marko Simonovic, while Adam Mokoka from Mega went to Chicago on a two-way contract. Dejan Milojevic has great merits for that:

– I’m still in touch with all these guys. We hear from each other regularly, and whenever our obligations allow it, we see each other. We had a very specific atmosphere in Mega, a phenomenal ambience and with all the players I worked with, I really stayed in great relations and that is a great thing – Milojevic states.

Last season will be remembered for the fact that two Serbs won the titles of the MVP’s in the two best basketball competitions in the world. Nikola Jokic was the MVP of the NBA League, and Vasilije Micic was the MVP of the Euroleague. What connects them is the fact that they both played for Mega and that they were coached by Dejan Milojevic:

Classy

I'm seriously sorry for his friends and family but honestly the exact same joking thought crossed my mind. What's the word when you laugh in grieving times?

Go ahead and laugh at a funeral. Nietzsche says it's okay​

Jul 12, 2022 — For Nietzsche, laughter is the way to ridicule and reduce the absurdity of death. To laugh at death is to free us of its grip. Jonny Thomson.
