#6 Dejan Bodiroga

Bodiroga

One of the luminaries of European basketball in the early 2000s, Bodiroga’s career was in jeopardy when the Yugoslavian conflict started to inflame in the 90s. He grabbed a chance to play in Italy, rejecting offers from two top Greek clubs.

Bodiroga would go on to become one of a select few who won the three major European basketball titles – Spanish, Italian and Greek. Bodiroga is also a three-time Euroleague champion, a two-time FIBA World Cup winner and an Olympic silver medallist, finishing behind the USA in the 1996 Games.
