EuroLeague announced 20 members of its All-25 team, and among them is Los Angeles Clippers guard Bogdan Bogdanovic.
The Serbian guard played five seasons in Europe’s top competition, donning the jerseys of Partizan and Fenerbahçe, winning the Rising Star award twice, and capturing the championship with the Istanbul club.
Speaking to the U.S. media after a big win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, in which he played a key role, Bogdanovic reflected on the honor of being named to the All-25 EuroLeague team.
“It’s great, it’s really great, but I feel like… I’m still playing, so it’s kind of weird. I’ll ask James [Harden] how he handled his 75, he’ll help me handle my 25,” Bogdanovic said with a big smile, reffering to James Harden being named to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team.
He also spoke about European basketball when asked how he handles pressure in decisive moments of the game.
“I feel like it comes with experience. People who know me know that I’ve been playing big games since I was 18, starting with Partizan and then at Fenerbahçe. If you don’t win a game [there], you can’t go out in the city. You can’t have a normal dinner. You can’t have fun. So, I think that type of pressure shaped me, and I don’t feel it anymore. Now, I’m just reading the game,” Bogdanovic concluded.
The captain of the Serbian national team started the 2024/25 season with the Atlanta Hawks but was traded to the LA Clippers in February. He is averaging 14.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.2 assists with his new team in March.
