I don’t know if I should like the video because I think that Mr. Obradović is the best coach in the whole world.

Ivkovic and Obradovic in 1996 Olympics made Yugoslavia the first team to force the Dream Team coach Lenny Wilkens to call a time out.

Lessort is doing massive job off ball screening everywhere and at the same time has one of the highest PIRs. No words for zeljco, he is the greatest ever

"If there was a Nobel prize for coaching basketball, Željko Obradović is the one who deserves it for his accomplishments" ~ Dušan Ivković

As an Olympiakos fan, it saddens me to say that Zeljko is the best coach in the world

Him and Duda are the best in Europe. Huge respect from an Olympiakos supporter.

The man is a basketball Genius. Despite an overall limited talent as a player he not only made the team multiple times in Yugoslavia's most legendary teams but he was often on the court in crunch time. Or, as coach Tanjevic's quote 'when arsehole is chewing pants time'. No wonder he became one of the most legendary coaches in the sport. Possibly THE most legendary.

I am Croatian, but I think he is the best coach in the world.

While he was still an active player in my hometown, his desire to become a coach and end his career as an active player is incredible, the results show that his decision was excellent.He is one of the greatest.

Coach Obradovic is always at the cutting edge of the latest offensive innovations in basketball. He is one of the greatest coaches in the history of basketball, NBA teams have lost out on the opportunity to make their clubs great by overlooking him as a possible head coach. I would love to see him coach this current Minnesota Timberwolves squad and assist in building Anthony Edwards into one of the greatest players of his generation

Great coach is also the one who can make the players understand and running it instinctively. Translating from coach's mind to player's kind is unbelievably harder than just creating plays. This coach did both. kudos

The originator of each play you are looking for is Aleksandar Nikolic, he is basketball father of Obradović (and of whole ex Yu and consequently european basketball)

I strongly reccomend you to watch documentary Partizan de Fuenlabrada to learn about Zeljko's beginning and his first European trophy at his first coaching season as youngest coach with youngest team in Europe at that moment.

I think this video title and some comments in it is extremely misleading. It is true that Zeljko is one of the greatest offensive minds in basketball history and also has his footprints all over today’s offensive plays. However the truth is that not only he’s one of the greatest offensive minds, he’s the fucking goat. That’s it.

I am Olympiacos fan and i think zeljko is the goat by far. I would love to see him in the nba someday

Great analysis I am surprised than someone from states is paying attention on European coaches. Obradovic achievement is impressive!!

Really great video! Finally we have some YT channel that makes really good Euro Basket videos! Regards from Serbia for the whole crew!

Simply best coach! Napred Partizan💪

That slip screen into stagger is a piece of art.

VERY, VERY well researched video! God only knows how long it took you to find the clips of all these plays. When I was younger back in the 1990's it was very difficult for me to figure out which play is which due to how players move fast and the variations. Now I have developed a better overview over the years, but I think that younger basketball fans will find useful a series of basketball plays, how they're called, variations etc. Thoughts?

7:13 I remember that Obradovic use that to the 45° with fener from 2016 to 2020 with Datome and Nunnaly when he was there. and then grigonis and saras took that too

Total legend. Watching him during games giving commands is also so entertaining.. I would agree he is probably the best European coach.

This is a high quality video in every sense. Great research,analysis,facts the truth... You guys are starting to understand that Partizan is going to be in the final 4.

What makes it so special is as pointed out.. the plays are born out of the players strengths. This takes design play patterns to a whole new level

FK Ribar pozdravlja Zeljka Obradovica

The think is that in Europe we think that he is the best defensive coach of all time. He coached my team Panathinaikos and with him we took 5 European championships. He is the coach that took an athletic small forward (Mike Batiste) and made him one of the best centers in Europe. He is an defensive mastermind and a coach that inspires respect. He had, if not the best , one of the best teams in the history of Euroleague, the 2009 Panathinaikos team. A dream team, that has many stars and he managed to control them and win everything. He is a GOAT of European basketball.

Played basketball for 10 years, were playing pick n roll and horns as kids on our team. Born and played in Serbia, I can bet that in 2002-2003 my coach was grabbing stuff from Željko.

This analysis is something else,thank you very much!!! Zeljko is on anither level almost 40 years,he made basketball just more beautiful with his understandig and love of the game. I’m Partizan fan so my opoinion if he is the best is way too subjective😎 Thank you for this video and I hope there is more to come. Wish you all the best

man, to me he's the GOAT! No doubt...

God damn thats another level for bball analytics

You guys are doing a great job

Hey, i like how you dedicated yourself for this video. My man even got the arena right. Awesome vid!!

European basketball is so beautiful to watch

Amazing video

Hey man, I love your channel. Most of the channels about basketball focuses only on NBA but you're different. Keep up the good work

He is not called Best couch in Europe, he is the best. Officially .

We need more like this 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

God of basketball

Absolute legend.

You must see how he run inbound action for Bogdan when he was in Fener! Two time for the open 3! That was the most beautiful action i see!

Obradovic is just high point of evolution Yugoslav badketball school. It begin with Nikolic, Zeravica,Novosel, ...., Pesic and many others and will not stop for many years from now :)

Professor Alexandar Nikolic, he was Zeljko's mentor

Great video, u should also do a video about Pini Gershon's offense in 04 and 05, as he was playing a really modern style of offense where its run and gun and a lot of threes but 20 years ago

Naravno brate moj!!!!! Samo i on je ucio od takodje nasih starijih trenera ;)

we agree!

One of the best european coaches ever. Other probably 3-4 coaches for the position of the best are also Serbian coaches. 👍😊

He is not Gelco or Jelco , he is Željko letter Ž, and when you good pronounce Obradović and you type Obradovic , it is not letter c it is ć at the end. His real name is Želimir and everyone calls him Željko

3:38 The hammer action was used by nba teams way back in the 2000s and it was originated from Darvin Ham when he was a player for the bucks

Master of masters, he is.

Also, Erdem Can (Eurocup contender) is his student.

insane coach

Zeljko is basketball.

🔥🔥🔥

Augustas Šuliauskas did his homework very good

You might say that Zeljko is most influrntal coach in NBA today...cause Popovic take actions from him back in Coaches clinic who was two years in the row in Belgrade with bests Euro coaches abd some NBA and Gregg was first....as we know how many Popovic assisstants are coaches in NBA today ....classis example is Kerr and GSW

Agree!

I would like to see LJ when Zeljko rise his voiceeeee

The GOAT

"Hiljade Grobara i huligana, Svoj život daće za Partizana, Za šampione EVROPE cele, Za crno-bele, za crno-bele. Partizan vole samo Delije, Delije iz ponosne Srbije, Njegovo ime neka večno sja, ŽIVEO PARTIZAN I MAJKA SRBIJA!"

I'm honestly shocked, grateful. I think it's great basketball. I am stealing this plays myself

Bozidar Maljkovic & Jugoplastika?

In Europe the focus is on playing defense in Basketball and in the NBA the focus is offense. The NBA is concerned, about TV rating and they don't care about the quality of the game.

One of the most basic things he implies is to always move the ball in the attack

💯

Best basketball coach in the world or at least one of five beat ever!

I wonder when he will do a interview with u guys... I dont know if he will, or wont do it... Anyway here is a interview he did with RTS(National television program of Serbia), they put english subtitles so it will probably help people understand Zeljko more. It is a documentary on his life and basketball, not so much of plays but im sure it will help people understand him more :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kvmQJ1dNAkE.html

One thing about Popovich's plays .... Was it Jokic or whoever, that said that Pop's plays are way too predictable nowadays. So maybe he is stealing them but now, since most nba teams have top europlayer in their squad, they don't do that much damage.

Don't know if he is greater than Riley or Jackson but even bringing up those big names showes how great Obradovic is.

The best coach by far

Zeljko is product of Serbian coach school started with Aleksandar Nikolic then pass to Duda Ivkovic then to Zeljko Obradovic

⚫⚪

Zeljko's offensive plays are almost same to Denver Nuggets.

Come back to Athens coach OB !!

Zeljko is the best in the world !!!!

The greatest basketball coach ever.

Nba coaches left the chat..

Atlanta Hawks should hire him !

he is mastermind, compiling best of ex Yugoslav aka Serbian way of the game with all that is good in leftovers from the world.

Obra is the Goat

Popovic serb too

Žac Obradović for life

We need to have champions league of nba vs euroleague games. The best of the euroleague vs best of nba. Real Madrid vs Boston Celtics… Then we will know who is better

Obradovoć invented basketball!

Popović, as a Serb, steals from Obradović, who is also a Serb. Nothing strange, as we all know who is the basketball powerhouse in the world.

😊

I tell this to casual NBA fans that what they saw on spurs back then in terms of offensive execution is normal and in europe is far more better. Talent wise will always be the NBA but teamwork, strategy and tactics is where euroleague is better.

Wow so pick-and-roll was invented in the 90s?

Zeljko is GOAT!

samo jedan klub, samo jedan grad, samo partizan, samo beograd!!

Some videos u got to like after 3sec

Hallo. First, sorry for my english. They are not so good. Zeliko is the best coach ever in Europe, in my opinion. BUT!! Most of his plays comes from NCAA tournaments back to 1970-1990 or NBA back to 1990 - 2000. You are very young an obviously you have no books from Coaches of those days. For example: Zoom Action is part of Princeton offense, SPAIN is...the Boston Pick played in 1980 - 1990 from Boston Celtics, Horns is a formation that 76ers and coach Cunningham used with Dr.J as cutter, etc. Of course all these does not change the splendor that Zeliko has and all of his titles did not happened by accident. But when you are giving these informations you have to search more and don't stay only on what you can see. It is not the plays that make him great but his philosophy thaτ affected so many European Coaches. I am from Greece and i coach from the past 35 years. Basketball start on USA. Don't forget that. One way or another, your video is very good with a lot of information. Keep on going but try to be a litle more careful. Thank you for your time. Basketball makes everyone happy!! Have a nice day...

Yes and a back screen was used first in the early 2000s? I've disapproved of some videos but I've never reported them as propaganda or is Spam and misleading until today. Do you understand that anyone can go and take a textbook and go back to the early 1940s to find all of these plays?

He is a best Coach ever...

He is the basketball goat of the coaches. Željko Obradović is the best in the world.

I just must mention. There are some tiny "fans" of small fake club who's insulting and chanting bad words to Zeljko just becouse he is the greatest and not in that club.

🇷🇸

Wouldn't it be great to get some euro billionaires together to buy a nba team with all euro players. I'll do the coaching.

JOKERRRRRRR 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I write comments but after seconds are deleted? Is there any problem?
