Obradović and Parker reunite in EuroLeague matchup

EuroLeague EuroBasket 2005 Dušan Vlahović Željko Obradović Beşiktaş

Željko Obradović and Tony Parker are set to face each other again in an official capacity as Panathinaikos hosts ASVEL in the second round of the EuroLeague. This matchup carries historical significance, marking a reunion 21 years after the 2005 EuroBasket in Novi Sad.

During that tournament, Obradović served as the head coach of the Serbia and Montenegro national team. In a highly memorable elimination match, France, led by a young Tony Parker, defeated the hosts 74-71, preventing Serbia and Montenegro from reaching the quarterfinals. The defeat marked a significant turning point in Obradović’s coaching career, leading to the end of his second tenure with the national team.
