Tridesetogodišnji srpski centar Vladimir Štimac zvanično je završio reprezentativnu karijeru. Iako je javnost vest o povlačenju najvernijeg na terenu saznala danas, postoje tvrdnje da je ova velika odluka pala još letos – na kraju Eurobasketa.

U nastupima u reprezentaciji došao je do stotke. Lepa, okrugla brojka za momka koji je nacionalnom timu bio i ostao veran. Pristajao je na najrazličitiji tretman: bio zamena, gotovo sparing-partner… Sve to ga nije sprečilo da neumorno radi na sebi i dođe do sjajnih, evropski priznatih izdanja.

The Red and Whites beat Maccabi by 87:84 for an improved Euroleague standing. Zvezda took a tense match and brought it all home. Some 9k fans were forced to hold their breath throughout the game, with a sigh of relief coming up only by the last 15 seconds. The fantastic performance of Taylor Rochestie (22p) made it possible for the newly formed team to not let any surprises their way.

Zvezda keeps it home as they beat Barcelona (90:82) in Belgrade’s Aleksandar Nikolić Hall. Their steady pace was interrupted only in the 4th quarter, but they were able to keep their guests at bay in a true Euroleague derby.
