It's confirmed: Ex-Yugo team will play together at Telebascet.com Cosic's Memorial !!!
Until recently this would have been a Sci-fi story, but even Sci-Fi stories sometimes come true .
So... Divac, Radja, Kukoc, Komazec, Zdovc, Danilovic, Djordjevic, Bodiroga, Paspalj, Savic, Naumoski... WIll PLAY TOGETHER against Italy in Bologna, June 24th at the Telebasket.com Cosic Memorial game. The ex-Yugo team probably will be called Telebasket.com All-Stars. Although the name of the game and the Ex-Yugo team is still unofficial.
Kresimir Cosic, Croatian and Yugoslav legend died five years ago, and this is a rememberance game and tribute to the legendary player from his friends. Dejan Bodiroga, who is actually Cosic's "basketball son" ( Cosic brought him to BC Zadar when he was 17th), confirmed to us that the match will be a tribute to "Kreso" from players, friends and those who respect his work.
Last time this team played together was at the EC 1991. in Rome (Bodiroga and Naumoski excluded).
The initiative has come from all the guys, said Bodiroga, but it's a "public secret" that Bodiroga, Bogdan Tanjevic (Italian NT coach) and Josip Djerdja (ex Croatian NT coach) are behind this spectacular ad hoc gathering.

From Telebasket.com - If this story came from anywhere else, I wouldn't have believed it. But it sounds legitimate enough.
