The Montenegrin Godfather - Nikola Pekovic!

One of the strongest players in the NBA at one point in time gained success in the NBA and in real life. The Godfather on the court, and apparently also off of it - Nikola Pekovič!
What Happened to Nikola Pekovic's NBA Career?

What Happened to Nikola Pekovic's NBA Career? This is the NBA story of Minnesota Timberwolves center Nikola Pekovic. He and Kevin Love formed a pretty good offensive duo when they are healthy but Kevin Love is now in the NBA Finals with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Pekovic is out of the NBA. Where is he now?

---

By 2014 - only the fourth season of his career - Nikola Pekovic was putting up averages of 18 and 9 for the Timberwolves. A terrifying paint presence, the first thing that struck out about Pekovic to most NBA fans was his appearance. He only stood at 6-11 - a pretty typical height for you average Center - but something about him made him look inhuman.

Maybe it was the massive frame, maybe it was the tattoos, maybe it was just something about his face - but of every player in the league at the time, the last I would want to mess with was Nikola Pekovic. The amount of intimidation Pekovic’s appearance emitted was only comparable to that of Shaq’s.

Except, Nikola didn’t exactly take the same path as Shaq. O’Neal proved to the world that big, burly, scary guys aren’t always what they seem, becoming a first-class goofball that is still known as probably the wackiest guy in basketball. Pekovic, on the other hand , played into the stereotype perfectly, becoming a drug lord kingpin associated with one of the most infamous dealers currently living. Today, we’re going to talk about this story.

But first, be sure to drop a sub. It’s so quick and easy and you’re not going to want to miss out on what we have coming for the channel. All you gotta do is click that little red button - it’s so simple, man, and this is a pretty small channel so I really appreciate each and every sub. Ok, and with that, let’s jump straight into this video.

Pekovic’s association with the drug world started even before his NBA career had finished. During this NBA career, Pekovic enjoyed a six-year stint in Minnesota and was arguably a top-10 center at his peak. He could’ve had a lot better of a career if not for injuries, but with Karl-Anthony Towns being on the come-up and Pekovic never playing more than 62 games in a season, the T-Wolves would say goodbye to him early in the 2016 season.

Now, during this six-year stint in the NBA, Pekovic developed the nickname “The Godfather,” and this nickname came from the fact that Nikola is the godfather of Dusko Saric’s son, something that surprised many NBA fans once news broke of this fact.
