ZAGREB, June 7 (Hina) - A memorial centre in tribute to the late Croatian basketball player Drazen Petrovic was opened in Zagreb on Wednesday on the 13th anniversary of his death in a road accident in Germany.

In attendance were his parents, brother, and senior Croatian and Zagreb City officials.

Petrovic, born in the coastal town of Sibenik in 1964, was one of the best basketball players in the late 1980s until his death in 1993.

"Drazen Petrovic was the advent of one of the most far-reaching changes in the makeup of the NBA -- the international influence. During the late 1980s there was the arrival of significant numbers of talented European players, a migration accelerated by the fall of communist governments in Eastern Europe. But no arrival from the former Soviet bloc was more eagerly anticipated than that of Drazen Petrovic. In four short seasons in the NBA, he was a blazing comet of tireless enthusiasm -- with shooting skills to match -- who made an everlasting mark. He was posthumously enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2002," the NBA says on its web site.
