At the time of the announcement of the retirement of Goran Dragicin the last hours of the year 2023, we also learned that a jubilee would be organized, to pay tribute to his great career, during the summer of 2024. Eight months later, here we are, and it is called “the night of the dragon”.
This famous match will be held next Saturday, August 24, in Ljubljana, Slovenia. And the guest list is very, very prestigious. We find in fact a mixture of former teammates of the playmaker and European stars: Steve Nash, Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic and Dirk Nowitzki to start. But also Bogdan Bogdanovic, Luis Scola and Dejan Bodiroga, or Nikola Vucevic and Rasho Nesterovic.
Not bad then. Even Chris Bosh, Goran Dragic's teammate in Miami, will be present for this event, without putting on shorts though. As for Jimmy Butler, once announced, the Heat player will ultimately not be there, blocked by another commitment in China.
All these great people will be on the floor after having been separated between two teams during an impromptu Draft the day before.
