At club level, Obradović played for Crvena zvezda, Limoges, Alba Berlin, Virtus Roma, Budućnost Podgorica and RheinEnergie Köln until his retirement in 2005.
In April 2001, during his time with Budućnost, Obradović got into a fistfight with teammate Milenko Topić during a practice session and got suspended by the club. They soon parted ways.
With the Yugoslav national team, Obradović won three EuroBasket gold medals and one bronze. He also won the gold medal at the 1998 FIBA World Championship in Greece and an Olympic silver medal in 1996.
Immediately after his retirement as a basketball player, Obradović was appointed as the head coach of RheinEnergie Köln, where he served until 2008. He also coached at Kyiv, Turów Zgorzelec and Donetsk. After coaching those teams, he joined Alba Berlin in 2012. On May 23, 2016, it was announced that Obradović would leave Alba.
