A single DeBaser review recalls watching Drazen Petrovic on Koper Capodistria with fond, ironic nostalgia. The reviewer remembers strange commentary, broken backboards and Petrovic's scoring ego. The piece frames Petrovic as a self-centred, irresistible scorer who dominated attention. The tone is affectionate and slightly mocking.
