One and only – Miloš Teodosić

From genius to nuts! One of the most praised and most disputed players in the team is definitely Serbian captain Milos Teodosic. People can love him or hate him but I can not remain indifferent to his game.

Able to shoot from half court and miss, and after, make an amazing assist. All of us who cheer for the team in which he plays have to live with him.

“Teo” is sometimes like magic, it seems impossible, and his every action provokes extreme reactions.

Thanks to his good performance in recent years, I can say that Milos is half of the Serbian team. Today Eurobasket 2015 starts, and all eyes will be on Teodosić, and what he will do.

But it has not always been like this, as a player of CSKA Moscow his career repeatedly passed from rags to riches. From basketball beginnings in Borac from Cacak, then FMP Zeleznik, Olympiakos and move to CSKA but for Milos is like nothing change.

But of his successes and downfalls the best can be seen in the games of the national team. From bad beginnings with Moka Slavnić and famous "Moskitos”, where Milos had the opportunity to express his skills through the European Championship in Poland, when the Serbian team, led by Teodosic, won silver.

Then the famous shot for 3 points against Spain at the World Championships in Turkey 2010 and after unfairly losing to the hosts in the semifinals. Then Lithuanian Eurobasket when “Teo” was very bad and so under his own level. 

But with the arrival of Aleksandar Djordjevic in Serbia national team, Teodosić becomes player whose abilities we can trust. At the Mundobasket in Spain everybody can see some other “Teo“, a player who is calm and not wild“

The legendary Lithuanian player Sarunas Marciulionis described Milos' games as "unreal  basketball". Serbia has again started to be at the top of world basketball, and thanks to “Teo“ come up with new silver medals. 

Indeed, today there is probably no coach or scouting expert in the world who can foresee Teodosić's game. “Teo” is simply incomprehensible and exists individually away from other clichés.
