Extractions: Tim DeFrisco/Allsport Being a New Jersey Nets fan is definitely a hard lesson in futility. This team may very well be the most cursed franshise in the history of organized sports. A combination of bad personal decisions, off the court tragedies, injuries and a revolving door of a coach's position has kept the Nets the laughingstock of the NBA over their two decades of existance. But despite all the Yinka Dare draft picks, the trades of Dr. J and Buck Williams, the antics of Derrick Coleman , and the early retirement of All-Star center Jayson Williams ... the most painful moment as a Nets fan, and as a human being, was the untimely death of rising star Drazen Petrovic.

CONTACT THE NETS One of the most far-reaching changes in the makeup of the NBA during the 1980s and early 1990s was the arrival of a significant number of talented European players. One of the best was the late Drazen Petrovic, a two-time Olympic silver medalist who led the Croatian national team before developing into one of the NBA's top shooting guards. After four seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers and New Jersey Nets, tragedy cut Petrovic's career short when he died in an automobile accident in Germany at age 28. Before his death, Petrovic made his mark in the NBA and around the world. To match the cool grace of urban American talents, the European newcomer brought tireless enthusiasm to the game, as illustrated by his fist-pumping in moments of triumph and furious agonizing over setbacks. He was not as strong defensively as his American counterparts, but he showed a penchant for daring three-point shooting. "I have never seen any pro or amateur player work as hard," Nets Assistant Coach Tom Newell told the New York Daily News. "He's the consummate pro in commitment and dedication."
The Late Great Drazen Petrovic | Nets News basketball pioneer drazen petrovic paved the road for them. I think thatI have never seen a guy who wanted to be as good as him, or work as hard. http://www.netsnews.com/news/listings/l0038.shtml
Extractions: September 24, 2002 Drazen was one of those players that even the most novice basketball fans enjoyed to watch. Petro not only played the game with passion but with humility. On one cold blistery northeast evening in New Jersey, Drazen scorched the Houston Rockets for a career-high 44 points. But what most people dont remember is that with Draz standing at 38 points and the game well under control, Petrovic adamantly refused to take any more shots in fear of the Houston players feeling that he was rubbing it in. Only at the urging of his teammates would Petrovic fire up and make two final three-pointers to give him his career night. Drazen, I thought was one of the purest shooters in the NBA and he played very well against the Rockets. One game, with a very good defender on him (Vernon Maxwell), he scored 44 points against us. I thought he had a great heart, great desire, and he played like he loved the game, Rockets Coach Rudy Tomjonovich reflecting on the passing of Drazen.

Extractions: By Tony Haynes Raleigh, N.C.-During a spectacular career that has produced 625 victories, NC State women's basketball coach Kay Yow has encountered the most difficult challenges her sport can offer. Challenges like gold medal games in the Olympics and at the world championships. Challenges like a Final Four game against a highly ranked opponent. Challenges like road games in hostile ACC venues in late February. But the difficulty of those assignments paled in comparison to the task given to her by the Basketball Hall of Fame. Exactly how does one recap a lifetime that has been filled with triumphs, defeats and wonderful memories in just five minutes? Kay Yow will give it her best shot upon entering the Basketball Hall of Fame on Friday night.
