What would Nikola Kalinic do if he didn’t become a professional basketball player? Quite possibly… a doctor.
The Serbian forward of Fenerbahce revealed that he was quite interested in enrolling in medical school before eventually choosing to turn his attention to becoming a pro hoopr.
“Studying medicine has always been my interest, he said. “Growing up and also in high school, I was looking for challenges. I was always trying to find challenges and from what I have seen and heard from friends, only a select group can even enroll, let alone finish medical school. Also, the feeling of helping others, the knowledge you get there, plus all the prestige, respectability and responsibility the occupation of a doctor carries with it, it certainly always attracted me.”
