In a somber ceremony on a rainy day in Belgrade, Serbia, hundreds of mourners gathered to bid farewell to Golden State Warriors assistant coach Dejan Milojevic. The beloved mentor, who tragically suffered a heart attack last month, was laid to rest in his native country. Notable figures from the basketball community, including Warriors coach Steve Kerr and general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr., paid their respects at the funeral.
The weight of the loss was palpable as Milojevic's former Serbian teammates carried his flower-draped casket. His untimely passing occurred on January 17 in Salt Lake City, where he had been hospitalized following a medical emergency during a private team dinner. At just 46 years old, Milojevic's sudden departure shocked and saddened those who knew him.
