It\u2019s far past time. This April, it\u2019s time for the Naismith to finally recognise a man who shaped the sport we love.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The disgraceful part is that this debate is happening posthumously. Few people have influenced basketball like Dusan Ivkovic. He\u2019s already a FIBA Hall of Famer. It\u2019s time for THE Basketball Hall of Fame to recognise him. Induct Duda to the Naismith and right a wrong.<\/p>\n<h4>The resume is beyond reproach<\/h4>\n<p>Dusan Ivkovic never coached a day in the NBA. That is irrelevant to the debate. Duda\u2019s achievements in basketball from a pure resume perspective are enough. As an international coach, he guided Yugoslavia to a world title in 1990 along with three EuroBasket titles.<\/p>\n<p>At club level, he won 2 Euroleague titles and managed to claim major honours in his homeland, in Greece, in Russia, and Turkey. The man received a lifetime achievement award a full 18 years before he retired from full-time coaching. Filling in his simple trophy count could take up this entire article. In a coaching career that spanned nearly 50 years, he did it all.<\/p>\n<p>When compared to the other coaches in the Basketball Hall of Fame that never coached in the US, Ivkovic comfortably stacks up. Considering that list includes names like Alexsandr Gomelsky, Aca Nikolic, and Cesare Rubini, that alone means he should merit some attention.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In Post Ad by Rob --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8330822894995250\" data-ad-slot=\"1076584095\" data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Layers of influence<\/h4>\n<p>Notice the way European bigs have long been described as different in the NBA. That they brought a different approach to the game. Dusan Ivkovic is fundamental to that in the sport. What is now normal in basketball with big men is heavily down to the influence of this gloriously straight talking man.<\/p>\n<p>Ivkovic unleashed the brains of the bigs to find new ways to contribute. He didn\u2019t just do so close to home. As he traveled across Southern and Eastern Europe throughout his career, Duda, spread new ways of thinking around defensive play in the sport. While a defensive maestro, he also aided in developing more dynamism on the offensive end with his ball movement philosophies.<\/p>\n<p>For a man who never coached a day in the NBA or NCAA basketball, his influence is visible across courts there. He was just a dude, spreading his gospel and helping ballers be the best possible version of themselves. They would go on to spread that word to the farthest reaches of the sport. This isn\u2019t the first time I\u2019ve made an argument for Duda, as you\u2019ll see in the video below. I\u2019m just hoping it\u2019s the first time people listen.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"These two European coaches belong in the Basketball Hall of Fame\" width=\"837\" height=\"471\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FBpA7-3JXpw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n<strong><em>BallinEurope is ramping up its YouTube game this season. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/ballineurope\" rel=\"noopener\" >Subscribe to our channel now<\/a> for player exclusives, analysis videos, and much more.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>The very purpose of the hall<\/h4>\n<p>The Basketball Hall of Fame, the Naismith, is not just a NBA hall. The NFL has the Pro Football hall, College Football has its hall, while FIBA has one too the purpose of the Naismith is clear. Its role is to recognise all of basketball.<\/p>\n<p>Dusan Ivkovic influenced all of basketball. He is the definition of the global game. The players that learned under him directly include Vlade Divac, Dejan Bodiroga, Peja Stojakovic, and Nikola Pekovic. The influence however goes far beyond.<\/p>\n<p>The thinking big? That\u2019s Ivkovic\u2019s handiwork. Hello Nikola Jokic. An extra pass ball handler with offensive joie de vivre? Hi to Luka Doncic. The guy with defensive versatility while maximising physicality? Good to see you Giannis Antetokounmpo. Duda\u2019s basketball philosophy laid the ground work for these glorious talents to maximise what they do.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>BallinEurope has a book, a real life actual book called I Like it Loud, and you can buy it on Amazon now.

There\u2019s Zeljko Obradovic, who belongs in the Naismith and would be the first in line to argue Dusan Ivkovic belongs in the Basketball Hall of Fame. Dimitris Itoudis, Svetislav Pe\u0161i\u0107, and Igor Koko\u0161kov have all either been mentored directly or influenced heavily by Duda.<\/p>\n<p>His fingerprints are on the sport we watch today and will continue to shape it for years to come. The argument for whether Dusan Ivkovic belongs in any hall of fame in basketball is long past over. Half of his career would comfortably get him over the line.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s sad that he passed before getting such recognition. At 77, Duda died in 2021. Those he fought his hardest battles with as a coach led the tributes. Enemies were few, students were many. A great mind went to the beyond to give James Naismith a piece of his mind about spacing and ball movement. This April, there\u2019s an opportunity to do right by him. It\u2019s quite a simple message: Induct Duda.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ballineurope.com\/induct-duda-dusan-ivkovic-belongs-in-the-basketball-hall-of-fame-8509\/\">Induct Duda: Dusan Ivkovic belongs in the Basketball Hall of Fame<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ballineurope.com\/\">BallinEurope<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2><b>Commercials Cooperation Advertisements:<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><br>(1) IT Teacher IT Freelance<br> <\/p>\r\n<a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITTeacherITFreelance-Website.png alt=IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\/><\/a><p><a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/findteacher>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427! <\/a><br>\r\n\r\n\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a -\u6559\u80b2 -IT \u96fb\u8166\u73ed\u201d ( IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 ) \u63d0\u4f9b\u4e00\u500b\u65b9\u4fbf\u7684\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a \u6559\u80b2\u5e73\u53f0, \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u4fe1\u606f\u6280\u672f, \u96fb\u8166 \u8001\u5e2b, IT freelance \u548c programming expert. \u8b93\u5927\u5bb6\u65b9\u4fbf\u5730\u5c31\u80fd\u627e\u5230\u5408\u9069\u7684\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2, \u96fb\u8166\u73ed, \u5bb6\u6559, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b.  <br>\r\n\r\nWe are a education and information platform which you can find a IT private tutorial teacher or freelance. <br>\r\n\r\nAlso we provide different information about information technology, Computer, programming, mobile, Android, apple, game, movie, anime, animation\u2026 \r\n<\/p>\n<p><br>(2) ITSec<br> <\/p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITSec-Main-Promotion-Image.png alt= https:\/\/itsec.vip\/\r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers.  \r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training.\/><\/a> \r\n<br><br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip>www.ITSec.vip<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/sraa.com.hk>www.Sraa.com.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.hk>www.ITSec.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/penetrationtest.hk>www.Penetrationtest.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itseceu.uk>www.ITSeceu.uk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers. <br><br>\r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training. \r\n<br><br>Contact us right away. <br><br>Email (Prefer using email to contact us): <br>SalesExecutive@ITSec.vip<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"667\" height=\"667\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ballineurope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Untitled-design-3-667x667.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-image size-post-image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Dusan Ivkovic is a finalist for the Basketball Hall of Fame.
