Drazen was one of the best european basketball players in history. He played four seasons in NBA. Petrovic's U.S. debut in the 1989-90 wasn't so good beacuse NBA and euro basketball is very different in some ways. In his third NBA season, numbers get much better and he was leading Net's team with 22 ppg. 1992 he led Croatian national team on Olympic games to silver medal, USA won game 117-85. In Zagreb, there is museum of Drazen Petrovic. He died in car crash 1993.
