    Vecan pomen i Carstvo Nebesko nasem bratu Dejanu! Porodici i prijateljima saucesce, i molitva Gospodu da im da snage da prodju kroz sve ovo i uvek imaju nadu na ponovni susret bez rastanka!

    He is not up in heaven, no one goes to heaven or hell when they die. They go where the Bible says they go, to sleep. John 11. etc. etc.

    Dejan was a giant as a basketball personality but more importantly as a human. People like him are very rare, honorable, courageous, honest and loving. He will forever be remember for his big heart and the legacy he left in European and American basketball.
    Thank you for this GSW.

    You made me love basketball. Because of you, I fell in love with Partizan. A real gentleman, sportsman, human being and I was hoping for our future coach. My favorite player. Sadness and Shock.

    When you cry because of someone you wouldn't see or meet even in 1000 years, then you know that someone is a really great person.

    A fighter on the field, the man who invented the term modern center, an infectious smile, a great man who was loved by everyone. You lived basketball. You are a basketball player. The only man who could follow the paths of professors Nikolic, Duda, Zeljko and Pesic and overtake them, I am convinced of that. Life is sometimes unfair… Legends don't die, we miss you already, Serbia and the world have lost a lot… Condolences to the family… I still can't believe it, life is a whore! Rest in peace, legends don't die, we will always remember you 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔 You are great Miloje, you are great Deki, you are great Barkley 🙏🙏 Thank you Warriors I apreciate that 🌹😭 Come on Warriors do it for him, go to Playoff!

    Greetings from Serbia. R.I.P. Deki, the life ist unfair…

    Ah, Dejan Milojević! He is a Serbian basketball coach and former player. Dejan had a successful career as a player in Europe, playing for various teams in Serbia and Spain. After retiring as a player, he transitioned into coaching and has had great success in that role as well. Dejan has coached several teams in Serbia, including the renowned club KK Partizan. He's known for his tactical knowledge and ability to develop young players. It's always impressive to see former players excel in coaching positions. Are you a fan of Dejan Milojević or Serbian basketball in general? 🏀😄
