It was just before the 2013 the first time the Memphis Grizzlies tried to lure Milos Teodosic to the NBA. Then 26, the blossoming Serbian star point guard turned down a 2 year/$5M offer to back up Mike Conley. He opted instead to sign a 4 year deal with CSKA Moscow in Euroleague. Three years later at the Rio Olympics, Teodosic has reminded everyone why why Memphis was interested in him in the first place.
Teodosic has shown a flair for the dramatic, a knack for making plays, and has drawn comparisons to everyone from Jeremy Lin to former Grizzly Jason Williams.
