Finally, a 30 for 30 on ESPN got my attention. It’s been a pretty successful series so far and has won over plenty of sports fans, but “Once Brothers” really became the defining episode of the series for me. It’s not saying much, because I still associate sports documentaries with Kobe Bryant Doin Work. I’ll spare you the movie review and simply say that I was old enough to remember Vlade Divac and Drazen Petrovic on the floor, but too young to understand what was really going on between them and back home. I was a huge Nets fan in the early 90s, because of Kenny Anderson. So naturally, I became a fan of Drazen, since he was the real star of the team. (Sorry Derrick Coleman)
Here’s the trailer, but find a way to check out the whole thing.

I doubt many people how good Petrovic was at the time and had not his loss been so tragic I truly believe that he’d have had a Hall of Fame career in the NBA as he was that good ! It’s hard to think that on that Nets team at the time they had himself , Kenny Anderson and Derek Coleman .
The documentary itself was terrific and one of the better ones in this series .

Yeah, he was amazing that last year before his death. Too bad he couldn’t get a few more in, he was on his way

What’s so ironic about the event as suggested in the story was at the time of his apparent death the flight that he should’ve been on with his teammates was supposedly flying right over the scene of the accident.
