Tristan Vukcevic’s basketball pedigree runs deep, as the son of Dusan Vukcevic, a retired European basketball player. Born in Italy while his father plied his trade for Euroleague team Montepaschi Siena, Tristan was immersed in the game from an early age. His dad’s career spanned multiple countries, with stints at Olympiacos, Crvena Zvezda, Olimpia Milan, and Real Madrid, among others.
What’s interesting to note is that Tristan can represent one of five countries in FIBA basketball (Greece, Bosnia, Serbia, Italy, Spain). According to his father he will represent Serbia. Of course, that’s assuming he can make the National Team, which doesn’t exactly lack talent at the center spot.
