 History

The history off success, collection off trophies, years off ups and downs, great number off aces that learned the “great game” under the walls off Mali Kalemegdan, fanatical loyalty off the fans… It all comes down to two words – Red Star.

The foundations off Serbian basketball institution were set by Nebojsa Popovic, a man who is considered as the “father off Serbian basketball”, alongside with Borislav Stanković, Alexander Nikolić and Radomir Saper.

 Legends

Golden decade off Red Star (1945-1955) is atached to the name off Nebojša Popović. But, if you ask the witnesses of those days who was the greatest player off the champion team they will tell you in a flash - Aleksandar Gec.

The career of Ljubodrag Simonović will be remembered as »Simonović riddle«. His skills as a shooter and scorer were never matched, but unfortunately also his bad temper and innability to make compromises whith anyone or anything that was against pure and basic ideals off sport.
In his early childhood a kid from Dorćol (part off Belgrade) Zoran Moka Slavnić had a great love for the moka-cake. He didn`t even dream that his sweet tooth will get him his knickname and that it will be rememberd around the basketball globe.

 Stars
'I came back to win trophies,' Igor Rakočević said last year returning to Red Star after one year of fighting NBA battles. He played for Minnessota Timberwolves and showed worthy of competing with the gratest masters of the game on the planet. He was not given a chance he deserves, but hopes for another one.
Strong Montenegrian Goran Jeretin is like a Dr. Jackill and Mister Hyde guy sometimes, showing his quiet side outside the court. He actually never signed a contract for Red Star. His manager did it for him because he was with the national team at the time, playing against Yao Ming in China in summer 2002.

He drew the lights on him at the European Cadet Championship in Latvia 2001. Yugoslavia won gold, Luka Bogdanović`s medal shone in the brightest light of all.

Being born a few blocks from Mali Kalemegdan Luka was always drawn by Red Star magnet.

 Coach - Zmago Sagadin

Zmago SagadinWho is Zmago Sagadin? That is the question that occupies the heads off many Red Star fans, although the moody coach is living in Serbia&Montenegro capital for two years now. There are many answers to that: Red Star coach, a man that made Olimpija Ljubljana a top European club, hard worker, “great bard off European basketball” as Bogdan Tanjević once said. Some would even say he is just a “cocky Slovenian guy”. The real answer is somewhere in between.
