1st
I enjoyed the highlights, but i was more excited when i could see jase ... Thats my personal preference
Teodosic, Jokic and Pistol Pete Maravich. Those three Serbs are among the five most creative passers in the history of basketball.
No he is not
You should do one for Bogdan bogdanovic
He is one of the very few who can be considered more than players. He's an artist whose understanding of the game and passing skills are the best promotion for basketball. He's got a unique style, always looking like he just woke up, unshaved and tousled, nonchalant attitude. He could have been a damned artist, a prodigy in whatever art, and we are lucky he chose basketball. He deserve a standing ovation in every gym eventhough he would feel uncomfortable with it
Abstract and captivating
Artist is a wonderful description about Teodosic. Thank you
😂okay bro
Would be beast phisicaly also, but guy is smoking 🚬 for almost 20 years now...
@@zl9289And don't forget a bottle of whiskey per night out
During the early years of Teo's carrier one coach said to the Serbian national team coach that Milos is slow in defense and he's answer was:
"You would be slow to if you played with your balls dragging on the floor " (a comment on Teodosic's confidence and pure "bravery" to take the shoots late in the game)!
It vas Duda Ivković. Someone said to him that Teodosic has a poor lateral movement.
Duda said: Yeah! It's because of his HUGE balls!🤣🤣🤣
@@pathfinder2reality oh how I miss Duda
😁Can't argue with that!
@@user-yv7zd6vc6j legend
Duda Ivković,famous serbian coach said that to Olimpyakos owner when he said "That Teodosić has bad lateral movements" , he said: "Thaths because his balls wabbling between the legs"
Watching these clips as a longtime NBA viewer it’s shocking how little ball movement we have in the league. This was beautiful basketball
Nuggets and Heat always moving the ball well.
@@danmaks1047 yup, that's why they played in the finals last year...a lot of NBA coaches fail to see just how productive good ball movement can be, cause they don't want to offend their stars by not letting them play iso every offense.
@@danmaks1047 Nuggets have Joker as a second playmaker.
You mean iso and run and gun are not pretty? Jk. Euro coaches are a different breed.
@@axel995rI remember the Spurs in 2014 it was beautiful
As someone who has followed Teo's career quite closely, I'm gonna say this. I don't know what exactly "best passer" means, it's not an objective category, but Teo was surely by far the most creative passer in Euroleague history. No doubt about it.
In creativity, he's definitely #1. With the best one could argue, but he's right there on the top somewhere
IS not was IS my friend.
100% correct. I used to love Jason Williams for his creativity but Miloš is a step above him and everybody else
Marcus Williams is second
serbs and in past united yugoslavian countries players was and still are one of most skilled, highest iq players on planet, from old days of Radivoj Korać who scored 99 pts in one game (european wilt), Dražen Dalipagić, Krešimir Ćosić to 80s and 90s icons like drazen petrovic, vlade divad, toni kukoc, dejan bodiroga, Žarko Paspalj, to modern day masters of this craft luka doncic and nikola jokic, there is something really special about that region and how they mastered sport like basketball. as and lithuanian who also has long and epic history in this sport, i have nothing but respect to Balkans and their people, we had massive rivalries, great wins and devastating losses against teams from that region, but we always admired and respected them.
We always respected you back. Greetings basketball brother
❤
Respect from Serbia ❤
You forgot one of the best Serbian players Stojaković !
Serbia 🇷🇸 respects Lithuania 🇱🇹 as we are the only European countries with no foreigners in the NATIONAL Team
Well, you forgot to say that after the Clippers, he went to Virtus Bologna (the italian team where Ginobili played and won the Euroleague before moving to Spurs) to lead the team to a National championship in 2021 , a Eurocup in 2022 that meant the Virtus comeback in Euroleague. Both times winning the mvp. God bless Milos.
Always 🙌🙌
he makes basketball look like art....he TRULY is an artist
I play basketball for 30 years now and can see that Milos is right up there in terms of talent with names like Jokic & Doncic. If these 3 would ever play together they would break any team record out there. Great video, thanks!
Crazy I was watching his highlights a couple of hours ago and you guys made a video about him. Been saying this for years. And it's not only passing but his court organization/vision, his quick-release jump shot, his insane IQ, and big clutch shots. Just a joy to watch. What is Ronaldinho for football Milos is for basketball. An artist, pure talent. Only if he had a better work ethic we would be now talking about the top 5 ever playmaker that touched the ball.
Perfect timing with the video with Milos making that pass yesterday in Milano haha.
In Serbia is not a secret that Teo is smoking and drinking during his whole career. With proper work ethics and healthy lifestyle, he would be top 3 Europeans in history
average Joe, just a bit taller, just how Austin Reaves is idol to kids in US that's what Teodosic was and still is for more than a decade to kids in Serbia, you can't be Jokic, he is so tall it would be strange is he didn't play in the NBA(statistically 53 or 54% of guys that tall play or have played in the NBA, higher chance to play in NBA than not when you are that tall)
I'm fairly new in basketball and passing is the #1 reason why i these days watch Euroleague more than i watch NHL.
Ofcourse... You've been watching hockey, my friend. 🤣
Teodosić, Basketball Maradona💪🏀👑
Lithuanians making good content about Euroleague in Europe..! Keep up the good work. Lot’s of information,history and everything more about Euroleage
Milos Teodosic: making grown men look like fools for 25 years now
Title of his movie after he ends his career?
Teodosic, Jokic and Pistol Pete Maravich. Those three Serbs are among the five most creative passers in the history of basketball.
Thats ridiculous, Teodosić is a good passer and a flashy passer but def not in the conversation as one of the greats. I would say hes closer to Ricky Rubio level of passing
@@user-qe9jt8rs7q
Rubio shouldnt be in the same sentence with Teodosic.
@@user-qe9jt8rs7q Rubio great passer no doubt, but in terms of creativity i dont think there is any european in history as Teo, Jokic is close.
I don’t think Pistol Pete ever set foot in Serbia!
@@pabloparra2484 Not going to Serbia doesn't make him any less of a Serb, what exactly is your point?
Ι can say, as a PAO fan, he is probably the best/fanciest passer ever. One of your first clips is from a friendly game in OAKA, the pass was so good it was the first and last time PAO fans cheered for Milos!
Basketball magician, just like Ronaldinho in football
I don't know why people think soccer is more complicated than basketball. It definitely looks more interesting with people dribbling with their feet. However, basketball is a vertical game and soccer takes place mostly on the ground. That's a much more 'dimensional' game, and using your arms to dribble allows for more fluid movement. I respect soccer, but high level basketball is something else.
Idk what Serbians put into their water, but they really have one of the most skilled players in the world.
It's not watter but dust from playgrounds
Yugoslavian basketball school was very strong back in the day. That is why even today we have intelligent players from Serbia, Slovenia, Bosnia, Montenegro despite the small size of that countries
We came out of water and built this planet :)
the pass against the board is crazy 😱
I loved using him in 2k years ago. He was saucy af
I'm not a 2K player.. All I know the games are super close to reality now but I'm pretty sure you still can't make some of the shit Teodosic does in games haha
great player and even better analysis. thanks bro
My guy
So this analysis is better then Teo's career? this analysis is among best analysis in Europe ever? haha
It's not possible to compare Teodosic with any other basketball player. His basketball interpretation is completely artistic. I propose the following sport's nickname for him: Basketball Michelangelo .
Another great video show casing the talents of one of Serbia's greatest basketballers for his generation. Milos has had a grand career domestically and internationally earning himself trophies, accolades and hatred from his opponents. You can make a case for Facu 'El Mago' Compazzo but he hasn't had the same long term impact yet they both share the special ability to make the impossible pass and terrorize defences! Top 5 for certain and still doing it which is great to see... ❤
A very special player. It's a joy to watch him.
It was great time beeing kind in his prime time. Thanks for Spain, Miloš!
He is still GREAT
Absolutely. But his peak was another level. tbh, i'm amazed he is playing the way he is this season with the # of games Zvezda have
So lucky to had Milos in my city team for some seasons. Legend
Very strong and competitive but also artistic, not just doing cool things for the sake of it but for win the games
Your channel is something else!!! Love your Videos, keep up the good Work Man👌🏻
I'm from Serbia and big fan of Teodosic. I consider him one of the greatest passer in the game, but dont forget about old school Steve Nash. For me , hes the greatest passer that basketball had.
Nash always played on NBA courts, as well as Jason Williams (who was even more entertaining).
But showing these creative passing skills on European courts is "a bit" different... 😏😉
@@MicuBamba Somehow i forgot about Jason, what an player....
When I was a kid in the 80s, on the streets of Belgrade, what ever sport you play, football or basketball, we all wanted to become those type of players and personalities... With balls to the floor, high IQ as it is called now, nonchalant, cool guys. Something like a James Bonds of the sports.. Some of us was good, some even better, but few of them became professional players because professional sport asks for other things now, work, discipline and more work and work
. Kids with such a great talent, usually don't fit in those drills. How Teo managed to keep his ingenuity at the same time, I don't know ❤
Yes he is. Tnx for this video, and observation. 🙌🏻
Without a single ounce of doubt. Even more than that, what he does on the court, I promise you no one else has even thought of. Still today, and he's 37. 👏
I remember watching Teodosic in his prime very well. I always thought what he was doing wasn't basketball, it was ART!
He is the most creative European in basketball I've ever seen
I hope he will play for Serbian national team in Paris next summer.
Having him, alongside Micić and Topić at PG would be great. (I know Nikola is still too young to make an impact, but Serbia have a history of inviting one up-and-comer to a major tournament).
Unfortunately that probably won't happen since the coach and him don't get along at all. Even having Micic and Topic will be questionable.
@@urkecio1061 Yes, also he already had farewell party.
Teodosic was always there for national team I will say just that!
Great video, could watch it all day. I just hope Milos will never retire 😄 such a pleasure watching him
MILOS THE ONE AND ONLY!!
im disappointed in basket news for not making a video about belgrade derby,it was epic
što se mene tiče - od njih dosta što su pokrenuli priču o A licenci za naše klubove posle derbija.. hvala im na tome
Miloš je pravi mađioničar,genije..Trebao je da ode ranije u NBA ligu definitivno...
He never played with so much passion like today for the club he loves from the bottom of his heart. Watching him today makes you wonder if his prime is over
Great work guys!
besides skills and artistry, milos has a temperament, hates loosing and is a fierce competitor, not shying away from provocative moves.
He was an artist. A few seasons ago Giannis showed tiny flashes of the same 360 degree passing ability.
My favorite passing PG ever is Rajon Rondo. But I like Milos, I wish he would have signed to my Celtics.
Milos teodosic and Vassilis Spanoulis were my favourite euro league players back then around 2011-2012 crazy guards 🙌
Milos 🤍🖤❤️ grazie x tutto quello che ci hai dato e fatto vedere
❤🇷🇸 T E O
Love you forever, Teo. A honor to see you with our jersey for 4 years ♥⚫⚪⚫⚪
🖤🤍
Teo is the best PG Passer ever!!!
Milos🙌🙌🙌
2 parts please
Hahah I'll take that as a compliment! Maybe someday in the future we get a 20-minute passing compilation
One of the most talented Playmaker in Europe for sure!
One and only, you are right, he is the best ever!
One of the most genius basketball players ever. "Teodosicesque" means something extraordinary, aesthetically beautiful, unique, bold, never seen before, which leaves artistic impression and inspires. You don't have to be a basketball fan to admire the beauty of Teo's game.
You never mentioned his ridiculous high percentage on free throws, great vid tho, big ups and much love
This CSKA team was one of the best ever and Teo's prime era
We can say Easley yes he is.
If he came to the NBA at his prime, he will be new Steve Nash.
If Nash had come in Europe, at any point of his career, he could have been compared with Teo' skills, maybe 😌
Of course the goat
Maestro ❤
top 5 - top 10 in the world for sure! one of the best
He is a certified Basketball Genius.
one of for sure top list
he is the guy why I love basketball
CSKA was unbeatable in Moscow with him… I loved those games against Real Madrid
Luka has been watching him closely, some of his passes are identical.
Especially the one he made yesterday vs Milano.. That's a Milos pass and Luka definitely copied that. The sling pass as I call it
he was just simply genius that s all.
BEAST
I consider him, Nash and Jokic to be the most creative passers in history. That's it.
we need a video like this for Saras!
Crazy player. we all love him in Israel.
Good save @basketnews after that crazy tweet yesterday 😂
Isto sam pomislio!!!
What was the Tweet about?
Haha the video was made already yesterday before the Zvezda game, it just kinda happened Milos threw that pass, our social media team made that post & Doncic himself replied to it
It's perfection 🤌@@AugustasSuliauskas
It is incredible that he is not playing in the NBA, although it is not surprising since the current NBA game is boring, where the players are more concerned about crying to the referee so that they are called for a foul.
Now speaking of Milos, before the ball reaches him, he is already seeing the different passing possibilities and when it arrives he quickly executes any option, even pretending to go for a basket but ends up taking a step that confuses his rivals 👏
Artist
him, theodore papaloukas and diamantidis are the only PG i know in europe, and believed anyone can thrive in the NbA on there primes but opted not to, euro league is 🔥 though can’t blame them!
He was an beast at the World Cup 2010
7:00 is literally that Steph Curry medicine. “Low-post split” entry pass and screen Warriors bread and butter play. Straight out of their book.
He came to NBA too late but if he comes on his early 20's maybe we can withness a hall of fame guard. I really like this guy.
really sick
good content!
Thank you!
Teodosić plays his last games in the jersey of the club he has been a fan since childhood, his BC Red Star🔴⚪.. poetic end of a career.. 🤔
He had two perfect performances for Serbia. Wc 2014 SF against France was brutal, and also some years ago agaist SF Australia. One of the best players ever
I remember him on the Clippers
MVP teo❤❤❤👑👑👑🥇👍💯
Yes, he was the best of the best passers in history!
Једном речју, уметник.
Волим га и ако сам гробар.
Watching this great video made me think : did the Mavs actually try to replicate the De Colo - Teodisic chemistry when they signed Kyrie ? Luka's passing style is really close to Milos (with much more offensive tools) and Kyrie is very good on off ball while still being a magician with the ball.
Just yes
he showed a lot of those flashes in the NBA. I don't think even NBA fans like me would look sideways at anyone for that opinion. He is a passing savant
He's the best.
Teodosic is the best passer of all time. Would've been a force in the NBA at his prime.
plays the game like a footballer. i think those who play or watch football(not nfl hand egg) can appreciate and do see these type of players a lot.
Serbia have a rain of the best players in Europe true history in basket and other many other sports also.
i love basketball and i love watching milos, even had the privilege to watch him live, unfortunately its hard to call anyone the best at anything when they spend their career in the second best league for me. for me i think you have to prove it against the best competition out there.
He is the type of player who makes you a basketball fan.
its important to say that in Europe back then you dont get assists as easy as in the NBA many things don't count. and there wasn't any continuity
so many assists end with a foul. today, they made FT give asist to the passers, but that one is new...
YES! He is the BEST passer ever..!!
YES i think he is the best ever.
this lad would fit perfectly in the Spurs
BEST
Only current player that comes close to this level of passing is Lamelo and Doncic. The gap between them and Milos is still miles apart. This beyond world class
how about Rubio?
@@copy2886 rubio isnt in first 100 paser in europ.
Lamelo is a clown. Please this kid cant play ball. He is just a clown. He will never win anything with that kind of basketball he plays. To many turnovers jacking up threes grom half court. But i guess almost all the nba has become a circus these days so he can not mbe the exception
@@forgondor881 ah, so it’s clear you don’t actually watch basketball. Thanks for exposing yourself as a casual
Wait to see LaMelo in Paris (maybe), before comparing him with an European Maestro like Teo, please... 🙄😌
