Dejan Milojevic: I regret not being at the FF

There was no doubt who is the best player of Goodyear League throughout the whole season as head-coaches of the participating clubs were mostly impressed by Buducnost’s center Dejan Milojevic. Unfortunately he was not able to play at the Final Four in Zagreb since Buducnost did not assure the place among the best four teams therefore the MVP trophy was taken by his ex-head-coach Miodrag Baletic who will give it to Milojevic at the next game Buducnost will play in the National Championship of S&MN.

I am proud that I received the award but nonetheless the satisfaction could have been bigger if I would play at the Final Four. Unfortunately we, players, usually put the success of our team in front of individual statistics. Therefore I was in a position to choose I would rather see my team at the FF.

Beside regretting his team was not able to play at the Final Four Milojevic also regrets he couldn’s take the Trophy of Sportske novosti personally.

I planed traveling to Zagreb but then something changed in the organization and I stayed at home. I really regret not being at the scene of the final tournament.

You were dominant throughout the whole season.

It is in my nature to do everything the team needs for the best result possible. This kind of work brings rebounds, assists, points, steals and without really thinking about it you get a very good coefficient.

But nonetheless he is in Podgorica, he follows the tournament from the first day.

I was watching the game between Crvena zvezda and Reflex on television while I hap to skip the second semi-final since we have practices at that time of the day. Regarding the final I think both teams deserved to play it. The semi-final game was very tied but it was to expect such a result as Crvena zvezda already had a lot of luck in over-times during the season. There is not need I say anything about the second semi-final as the result tells all.

What about the final?

I already said a few times Cibona is the favourite of the tournament. Nonetheless I will keep my fingers for Reflex since we come from the same country.
