Euroleague Half-Century Heroes: "Where are they now?" series

November 3, 2007

As the Euroleague is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the European club competition, a selection process designated 50 players that marked the European competition. I will come back to their career and also try to find out what these guys are doing now.

After having already presented the fan election part of this celebration, I will now talk about the different players that have retired and try to find out what they are doing actually. For some of them, this will probably be quite difficult, so if you as a reader have some info, feel free to post your name here in the comments and I will contact you.

In my first post, I will talk about the Slovenian SG Ivo Daneu. And then in irregular posts, I will come back to the careers and actual life of the greatest players of the European Club competition.
