Phoenix Suns brothers Goran, Zoran Dragic go 1-on-1 in Pop-A-Shot (Video)
By Phil Watson
Goran Dragic and his younger brother, Zoran Dragic, are teammates with the Phoenix Suns, but competitors off the court, it would seem.
Big brother wins!
Basketball playing brothers Goran and Zoran Dragic of the Phoenix Suns got together at a Dave & Buster’s in New York on a recent road trip and were captured by Bleacher Report’s NBA Senior Writer Jared Zwerling engaging in a serious game.
Of Pop-A-Shot.
Goran topped Zoran, showing that age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill.
Or at least that’s what we old guys say.
Goran Dragic was an All-NBA selection last season for the first time in his career after averaging 20.3 points and 5.9 assists per game for a surprising Suns team that just missed a playoff spot in the rugged Western Conference despite winning 48 games.
Goran’s numbers are down a bit this season—16.9 points and four assists—as Phoenix added a third point guard to the mix after signing restricted free agent Isaiah Thomas over the summer.
Zoran Dragic, at 25 three years younger than Goran, hasn’t gotten much burn for the Suns this season—as in, he’s played in just two games for three minutes. He attempted a 3-pointer. Thus endeth his stat line.
Zoran played last season for Unicaja in Spain’s ACB and the Euroleague. He averaged 10.3 points per game in domestic competition and 10.9 points in Euroleague play.
He also played a key role, along with Goran, for Slovenia’s entry in the FIBA World Cup last summer, averaging 12.9 points a game while helping Slovenia reach the quarterfinals, where they were eliminated by the U.S.
