One of the greatest Euroleague players ever, Drazen Petrovic would take his talents to the NBA.

It took him a few years to find his game in the league, and he looked like he was on his way to stardom with the New Jersey Nets. Unfortunately, he was killed in a car crash shortly after the 1992-1993 season. What happened two months after Petrovic’s passing? The death of another Boston Celtic.
