National team which would make "Dream Team" shiver in fear: This would be the Yugoslav team for Eurobasket today! (PHOTO)
The Eurobasket 2017 will be the most interesting event of the year, and it is precisely at this time that the current basketball national teams are represented, and the countries that made former Yugoslavia caught our eye.

Once great state was fearsome to the entire in basketball, and many are sorry because Yugoslav national team, consisting of Drazen Petrovic, Divac, Radja, Kukoc, Danilovic, Djordjevic, Bodiroga, Paspalj... didn't go against the original Dream Team of America, lead by Michael Jordan, on Olympic games 1992.
Many believe that Yugoslavia was the only one that could cope with them, and former coach Dusan Duda Ivkovic had a plan he revealed 25 years later and he thinks that he would win against the Dream Team in the finals.
Somehow, Serbia took the successes of Yugoslavia, which continued with good games on large competitions, but there is no doubt that the quality of the team on the court would be improved with the players from Croatia, Bosnia, Slovenia, Montenegro and Macedonia.
Talent with the players from the Balkans is again incredible, and that can be seen in the games they offer in NBA and Euroleague, where players are very important. And now Sasa Djordjevic has problems reducing the list because of the great competition and great players who are candidates for the final list. Now you can imagine the sweet troubles he would have if he had the players from all former Yugoslav states, to make his final list.
We decided to try to shorten the list in the eve of Eurobasket and to make a team from former Yugoslavia, which could go to the competition. It is incredibly hard in the searing competition to pick just 12 players, but the team is "freezing".
Dream Team led by NBA stars would certainly be afraid of it. Yugoslav national team would have NBA stars as well, but also some of the most important players in the Euroleague.
This is what the Yugoslav team would look like:
Point Guards: Milos Teodosic and Goran Dragic
Shooting guard: Bogdan Bogdanovic, Luka Doncic, Bojan Bogdanovic
Small forward: Nikola Kalinic, Darko Saric
Power forward: Bojan Dubljevic, Mirza Teletovic
Center: Nikola Jokic, Nikola Vucevic, Jusuf Nurkic
It is clear that the team would have such a firing squad that the danger could come from any direction, weather from the outside, or under the basket. Also, the team would have great defensive players who play great with the ball in both ways, so the team would not lose in that part.
7 players of these already play in NBA league, and the reality is that Milos Teodosic and Bogdan Bogdanovic could be in that team from the next year, and soon also Luka Doncic, who is seen as future #1 pick on the draft.
That would be the team that could play against the Americans, and they would even tremble with fear in front of our team.
The special problem of the coach would be choosing the starting five. Try to make your team in the comments.
