Here is something to commemorate him.
Just ignore the title and the description. We cannot deny that Jordan had been the face of NBA that year.

Yeah saw that video, and many others. That's what I usually do on this date, watch Drazen videos on YouTube. Just ignore the title and the description. We cannot deny that Jordan had been the face of NBA that year.

Little piece of trivia: Rudy Tomjanovich, who was then Houston Rockets coach, wanted to bring Drazen as he was becoming free agent. He knew that Drazen was one of the the best shooters in the NBA and wanted to pair him with Olajuwon, who as we know was the most dominant center of that time. That could have been a deadly combo, Drazen outside and Hakeem in the paint.
But unfortunately, that never happened as Drazen decided to travel to Croatia from Poland via car and not airplane with rest of the Croatian national team, as he wanted to spend some time with his girlfriend..
That could have been unstoppable.
With Robert Horry in his prime.
You just never know.
Even if its thru plane, when it's your time you cannot do anything about it.
Just like what happened with Kobe. Accident numbers in helicopters are not that high and yet...
