Djordjevic: “I regretted denying Zots PAO” – Basketball – Greece – Panathinaikos Basketball
Full of everything he lived through in basketball, he said Sasa Djordjevic in an interview with “Zurnal”.
However, when asked if he regrets something, in his answer “Sale” mentioned him Zeljko Obradovic and Panathinaikos.
According to the great veteran guard, he had rejected Zots’s offer to wear the green jersey in 2002 and the reason was the injuries that afflicted him, as at the age of 34 he was even thinking of retiring from active action.
«I only regret something I did not do. He did not accept the proposal of Zeljko Obradovic to play for Panathinaikos. I could not play then, I had a lot of injuries. Physically and mentally I was down. At that time, I was 34 years old, I had just finished the season with Real Madrid and Zots proposed to me to go to Panathinaikos. We talked twice and I told him I could not. He tried to explain to me how he used me then. I said a resounding “no” because I did not want to play basketball anymore. I thought I was too hypocritical to go there and go play for the very good contract they gave me. I was not myself at that time. I was not Sasa Djordjevic when he wanted me. At that time I did not want to play basketball anymore. And all this, because of the many injuries I had“, Were the words of” Sale “.
