Brotherhood, global politics, and basketball are at the forefront of this episode. Dražen Petrović and Vlade Divac grew up together in Yugoslavia and shared a common love for basketball. In the 1980s, they played together on the Yugoslavian national basketball team, then they came to the United States to play for the NBA. Their friendship and brotherhood was tested, however, when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, and war plagued their now home countries of Serbia (Divac) and Croatia (Petrovic). Torn between a loyalty to their country and their brotherhood, the two never spoke again, and before they could reconcile, Petrović tragically passed away in 1993.
