A nice photo of Coach Decky with Jokic from Anthony Slater.
"Pregame meet up every time the Warriors and Nuggets play: Nikola Jokic and GSW assistant coach Dejan Milojevic. He was Jokic’s coach in Serbia for several years."
Sacramento Kings head coach Mike Brown speaks about the memory of Golden State Warriors assistant coach Dejan Milojevic, whom he spent time with during his time with the organization. Milojevic passed away this morning in Salt Lake City.
I remember watching Dejan playing in the ABA (Adriatic Basketball Association) playing for Partizan. He was a bit undersized for the center (for that era) but so crafty and superb footwork. He always looked unathletic but his reaction acceleration time was superb (similar to Dončić). He was Jokić lite. I am sure if he had his height he would dominate in a similar way. So sad😢
I'm here with ya'll. Saw the game was postponed and then saw why. Just shocked. I really enjoyed and appreciated Decky's demeanour on the sidelines. Seemed like nothing would phase him and he had a secret, like everything is going to be OK... Nothing but love to his family and teammates. Rest In Peace Big Fella xxx #Biggerthanbasketball

What heartbreaking news! When they postponed the game, you knew it was serious, but we were all hoping for the best. 46 is way too young.
My heart goes out to his family and the team.
Wow....
RIP

Počivaj u miru Deki.

Wait!!! WTF!
Indeed
WTF. Indeed this season is feeling more and more like a snowball rolling through hell.
Fuck man, his family. That’s terrible and scary.
Just awful news. RIP Decky, and prayers to his family.
