Obradovic and the NBA: Some Teams wanted to interview me, I give interviews to journalists

Zeljko Obradovic spoke with Greek Television OTE TV. The Serbian coach was hired by Fenerbahce during the summer.

There were also rumors about him coaching in the NBA.

The interview was translated by Eurohoops.

- Coach, did you had a serious chance last summer to go to the NBA?

“No, sincerely no. There were some rumors about it and two NBA teams contacted some agents and not me personally. Some of them were considering some kind of interviews, to go there and be interviewed by them. I said that I give interviews to journalists, not… you know. If you want to speak with me, first of all you have to come here. Secondly, if someone wants me, he knows everything about me. So, what else is there to speak of? If I am ready, if I know my job? This is really strange. In any case I was ready to meet their people and talk, but no one contacted me directly. They said to the agents that I should be ready (for contacts), etc. But I never gave to this any serious though, not until someone contacts me directly”.
