Sašha Danilović
Predrag "Saša" Danilović (Serbian Cyrillic: Предраг "Саша" Даниловић, born February 26, 1970), usually referred to in English as Sasha Danilović, is a Serbian former professional basketball player, considered one of the best European shooting guards during the 1990s. Danilović was the Euroleague Final Four MVP in 1992, was voted Mister Europa Player of the Year in 1998, and was Italian League MVP the same year.
Since 2007, he has been the president of Partizan, the club with which he spent six years as a player during the 1980s and early 1990s. In 2015, he resigned from the position.
On 15 December 2016 Danilović became the President of Basketball Federation of Serbia (KSS).
Born in Sarajevo to a family of Herzegovinian Serbs (father Milan from the Orašje Zubci village near Trebinje and mother Vuka from the Kukričje village near Bileća), Danilović grew up in the Alipašino polje neighbourhood near the RTV Sarajevo main building. During adolescence, his summers and winters were mostly spent in his parents' respective villages and the town of Trebinje where he had aunts and uncles.
A tall and lanky kid, Danilović excelled in various sports, including soccer, speed skating, and street basketball. Already well versed in streetball, he started playing organized basketball in KK Bosna's youth setup where he was coached by Mladen Ostojić. The player's talent was evident immediately and it didn't take long before he started receiving attention from bigger clubs such as KK Partizan whose assistant coach Duško Vujošević got alerted about the youngster's talents by the team's point guard Željko Obradović who spotted the youngster during summer 1985 at an inter-republic youth basketball tournament on Mount Zlatibor where young Danilović represented SR Bosnia-Herzegovina.
