“It’s such a unique place to play in” – Bogdan Bogdanovic’s love for Partizan Belgrade

Bogdan Bogdanovic’s journey in basketball began with Partizan Belgrade. The 32-year-old Serbian guard’s EuroLeague debut came in the 2012-13 season with Partizan. The next season would be his breakout year. He earned the EuroLeague Rising Star trophy for the 2013-14 season. Bogdanovic’s significant contributions included averaging 14.8 points and 3.7 assists per game, which cemented his reputation as a rising talent. “I love that Partizan is back in the EuroLeague,” Bogdanovic shared. “It’s such a unique place to play in, the ambience and everything.”

Bogdanovic’s connection to Partizan remains strong, and his ongoing support for the club is evident. His early career with Partizan laid a solid foundation, and his affection for the team persists. “The basketball atmosphere at Stark Arena is incredible.”

Bogdanovic also recently revealed that his NBA schedule has limited his ability to follow EuroLeague games closely. Nevertheless, he has kept an eye on the EuroLeague, particularly focusing on Serbian counterpart Vanja Marinkovic of Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz. “This season, I followed the EuroLeague the least since I was in the United States,” Bogdanovic admitted. “If I had to single out something, I mostly watched Vanja Marinkovic and Baskonia. We trained together last summer, so I learned something from him, and it seems he learned something from me too.” Notally, he also mentioned his old team. “I also got to see off Partizan, as well as a little bit of Fenerbahce, but honestly I watched very few games.”
