About Vlade Divac, Hall of Famer

Vlade Divac was a Serbian center who stood 7'1" and became one of the first European players to make a major impact in the NBA after being drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers in 1989. Known for his passing ability and unconventional playing style, he spent 16 seasons in the league with the Lakers, Charlotte Hornets, and Sacramento Kings. With Sacramento, he helped transform the franchise into a perennial playoff contender alongside Peja Stojaković and Chris Webber. Divac was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2019. He was also the first non-American-born and trained player to appear in over 1,000 NBA games.

Did you know? Divac was traded to the Charlotte Hornets in 1996 for the draft rights to Kobe Bryant, a deal that would later be widely considered lopsided in the Lakers' favor.
