[edit] Basketball career

He started his career in a KK Cibona jersey in 1990 and played there until the end of season 1997-1998. He left Cibona to join Fortitudo Bologna. He also played for Real Madrid.

In Greece he left a big mark. He won the Euroleague Championship in the Euroleague 2001-02 with Panathinaikos BC. While he played for PAOK BC and Panellinios he was one of leading assist and point scoring players. At the start of the 2006-2007 season he had been signed by Olympiacos BC, in order to fill the void created in the team by Macijaukas' start of the season severe injury. But in Olympiacos he didn't get along with coach Pinhas (Pini) Gershon and before the end of season he got his early termination of his contract.

After Olympiacos he was signed by Bruesa GBC on 22 January 2007, but because of his injury he didn't play as expected. During the summer of 2007 he was in serious contract discussion with KK Cedevita from Croatia, but after Cibona approached him didn't have to think twice about which team he was to join. He signed a 1 year contract with his former team.[1]. After 9 years he returned to Cibona Zagreb. Saying that he was "excited about his return and that it had always been a privilege and commitment to play for Cibona". He was brought to them by the special insistence of the new Cibona coach, former Croatian basketball player, Josip "Joke" Vranković. He has expressed desire to finish his career with Cibona.[2].
