The year he was born, they became champions of Europe. In the youth categories, he played as a shooting guard, and after moving to the first team, he became an excellent playmaker. After some time, he decided to stop playing basketball and dedicated himself to his studies. He graduated from the Faculty of Political Sciences in Sarajevo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">FIND OUT MORE<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-serbiantimes-info-en wp-block-embed-serbiantimes-info-en\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"mdGd7EL9oW\"><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/serbian-soldier-killed-in-lebanon-a-missile-hit-the-united-nations-base-where-the-serbian-contingent-is-stationed\/\">SERBIAN SOLDIER KILLED IN LEBANON: A missile hit the United Nations base where the Serbian contingent is stationed!<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201cSERBIAN SOLDIER KILLED IN LEBANON: A missile hit the United Nations base where the Serbian contingent is stationed!\u201d \u2014 Serbiantimes.info EN\" src=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/serbian-soldier-killed-in-lebanon-a-missile-hit-the-united-nations-base-where-the-serbian-contingent-is-stationed\/embed\/#?secret=MhoyItKe7U#?secret=mdGd7EL9oW\" data-secret=\"mdGd7EL9oW\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He got his first job at Federal Television, and after that, he worked at OBN. There, he stood out with his energetic broadcasts of the NBA league, as well as the national team of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Among the most famous moments in his career is the broadcast of the match between Bosnia and Lithuania, where Mirza Teletovi\u0107 hit a three-pointer from a great distance. That was when we heard the famous &#8220;Mirza from the parking lot&#8221;\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On &#8220;Arena Sport&#8221; television, he formed an unforgettable commentating duo with Nenad Kosti\u0107. The two of them were synonymous with NBA and regional basketball, and their broadcasts are the stuff of legends. No one will forget Du\u0161an Kecman&#8217;s basket in Zagreb at the Cibona \u2013 Partizan match and their excitement after it.
