The EuroLeague has revealed its All-25 team, which includes Los Angeles Clippers guard Bogdan Bogdanovic.
The Serbian player has spent five seasons competing in Europe’s premier league, representing Partizan and Fenerbahçe. He has earned the Rising Star award on two occasions and boasts a championship title with the Istanbul club.
After a significant victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers, where he played a pivotal role, Bogdanovic shared his thoughts on the distinction of being selected for the All-25 EuroLeague team during a conversation with U.S. media.
“It’s fantastic, truly fantastic, but I feel a bit odd since I’m still active. I think I’ll ask James [Harden] for advice on how to cope with being in his 75—he can guide me through my 25,” Bogdanovic said, beaming as he referenced Harden’s inclusion in the NBA’s 75th Anniversary Team.
When asked about how he handles pressure in critical game situations, Bogdanovic offered insights into European basketball.
“I believe it comes with experience. Those familiar with my journey know that I’ve been in high-stakes games since I was 18, starting with Partizan and then Fenerbahçe. Losing a game there means you’re not going out in the city—you can’t enjoy a regular dinner or have any fun. That kind of pressure has shaped my mindset, and I no longer feel it. Now, I simply focus on reading the game,” Bogdanovic explained.
The captain of the Serbian national team began the 2024/25 season with the Atlanta Hawks but was traded to the LA Clippers in February. In March, he is averaging 14.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.2 assists with his new club.
