1993 Third Team All NBA

The same season he scored his career high he also achieve a career milestone. After an impressive 1992-93 season in which he averaged 22.3 points per game on 52 percent shooting and 45 percent three-point shooting, Petrovic earned All NBA Third team honors. It was a huge accomplishment for him. In fact, in an ESPN article Petrovic’s friend, Nick Goyak, recalls how proud Petrovic was of this achievement. Here is what Petrovic said to Nick over the phone.

"“He said, ‘Nick, I have just been named to the top 15. This really means something to me,'” Goyak remembered. “The last thing he said to me was how proud he was of that.”- Nick Goyak"

Clearly, Petrovic was very serious about what he was doing in the league. If he had played the rest of the decade, he would have tried his hardest to continue playing at an elite level. It was obvious he took pride in what he did on the basketball court.
