From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zoran Radović (born February 17, 1961 in Belgrade, Serbia, Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia) is a Serbian former basketball player and current FIBA administrator.
Known for his tenacious defensive skills, Radović started playing basketball at the age of 12 at OKK Beograd and went through all the age groups with the club.
In 1980 he moved overseas to play college ball at Wichita State University. His single season in the NCAA Division I with the Shockers was fairly successful as the sixth seeded Wichita State team came within one game of making it to the Final Four, losing the Midwest regional final to first regional seed Louisiana State University.
After his NCAA adventure, Radović came back home and signed with Red Star Belgrade where he spent 9 seasons (1981-1990) and grew into a dependable point guard as well as a defensive stalwart on the Yugoslav national team.
In 1990 he moved to Berlin and spet two seasons at the developing German club ALBA.
In 1993 he came home to Belgrade again and finished out his career with a club where he started it - OKK Beograd.
Simultaneous to his basketball career, Radović also managed to complete university studies - a rare feat for professional athletes. He attended University of Belgrade's Faculty of Law and graduated in 1992.
