NBA experience gets good results on world teams
The Associated Press
U.S. to field pros at 1992 Olympics
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — The NBA came to international basketball—and it won.
Yugoslavia won the World Championships Sunday with a starting lineup featuring three NBA players likely to be in the NBA next season.
The Soviet Union, winner of the silver medal after losing 92-75 in the final, also relied on an NBA player. Fourth place Puerto Rico had a frontline that included two players with NBA experience.
Only the bronze medalist United States opted to go with amateurs. And for the fourth straight time, the United States came up short in the chase for gold at an international tournament.
USA Basketball, the sport's national governing body, has said next year's Pan Am Games team will have only college players. But at the 1932 Olympics, the United States will be a team that includes NBA players.
"I think at first it will be like it was in 1960 when U.S. college players were able to dominate internationally," said Duke's Mike Krzewski, who coached the U.S. team in these championships and is among those to handle the next Olympic team. "It took almost 30 years for the international teams to catch us — and they have."
"How long will it take to catch the NBA players? Maybe another 30 years, probably less."
They have played at the same
level as NBA players in this championship, "Yugoslavia coach Dusan Ikvicak said of his team," they could be very well against that league.
Ivkovic relied on NBA players as Yugoslavia won its third world championship.
Drazen Petrovic, the NBA's second best 3-point shooter last season with the Portland Trail Blazers, led the team in scoring at 21.6 points per game, making 18-of-39 3-point attempts.
Toni Kukce, the second-round draft choice of the Chicago Bulls this year, ran the offense, averaging 16.3 points, five rebounds and 4.6 assists per game, while always drawing a tough defensive assignment. The 21-year-old Kukce said he would play three more years in Europe before the All-Star season; he would rather star in Europe than sit on an NBA team's bench.
Vilada Divac, a member of the NBA's all-rookie team with the Los Angeles Lakers, averaged 8.8 points and 3.3 rebounds.
Zarko Paspalj, with the San Antonio Spurs, added 13 points a game.
Yugoslavia also could have had two players drafted by the Boston Celtics in recent years — Dino Radja, who missed this tournament with a stress fracture in his right foot, and 7-foot-2 Storan Vrankovic, a formidable shot blocker who had a dispute with Ivkovic.
Ivkovic welcomes the addition of NBA players to the U.S. roster.
"That is a question for USA basketball and the NBA," he said, "and that's the best players in the NBA at the Olympic. It would be a challenge."
