There aren’t many better ways to start a summer than by putting pen to paper on a $30 million contract, but with all things considered, it seems fair to say that Mirza Teletovic’s offseason hasn’t gone entirely to plan in the time since.
Just like a number of his new Milwaukee Bucks teammates, Teletovic’s summer was never going to be just about getting some rest in before hitting the gym to get ready for the new season. For the 30-year-old his country called, as Bosnia and Herzegovina attempted to qualify for next summer’s EuroBasket tournament.
Teletovic is widely regarded as the best player ever to come out of Bosnia and having represented the national team for many years, now doing so as team captain, it always seemed like an honor and a privilege that the NBA veteran enjoyed.
