Yesterday’s ABA was funk and circumstance. Today’s NBA is trapped in hip hop. So where does classical music fit in? Drazen Petrovic.
Many aspects of the professional game have evolved since “the merger”, but some things have remained consistent. Regardless of style, great players flow. They make ankle breaking look smooth, draining 3’s like painting the net, and threading the needle assists like, well, threading a needle. Drazen Petrovic’s mastery of all three gained him the nickname, “The Mozart of Basketball”. His artistry on the court, best described by one of the o.g.’s of music. Yeah, music. Period.
