Drazen Petrovic was considered one of the rising young stars in the NBA when his life was tragically cut short in a 1993 car crash at the age of 28. “Petro” won two silver medals and bronze medal during his Olympic career and was part of the first wave of European players to establish themselves in the NBA. Petrovic signed this Official American League Bobby Brown baseball circa 1990-91. The signature is slightly faded but is clearly legible and the ball is in excellent condition. The Croatian native, known for his entertaining, high-energy game, averaged over 20 points per game in the final two years of his five NBA seasons, while playing for the New Jersey Nets and was posthumously enshrined in the Naismith Hall of Fame in 2002. Autographed baseballs signed by Petrovic are hard to find and this item comes with a full LOA from JSA (B60244).
