– The memorial tournament will be an opportunity to appropriately commemorate our former player and Serbian national team member Stevan Jelovac, who left us too soon. Four teams with a handful of young and talented players will participate in the tournament. Among them will be Team Overtime, which is performing in Europe for the first time this year and which is composed of a large number of talents, among them are also players who are predicted to be selected as “lottery picks” in the 2023 NBA draft. Just for the duel Mega MIS and the Team Overtime are of great interest not only here, but also abroad, where all eyes are on this duel where some future NBA players will play. I would like to use this opportunity to invite all basketball fans to come to the Memorial Tournament in the Ranko Zeravica Sports Hall where, I am sure, they will be able to enjoy the game of some future stars of not only regional, but also of world basketball,
