A huge day for Serbian basketball! Simon Majok, an 18-year-old wunderkind from South Sudan with a Serbian passport, has signed a contract with the University of Memphis and is continuing his career in the NCAA, playing for the Memphis Tigers. Yes, you read that right – the young man who honed his skills in the Serbian junior league playing for KK Real Belgrade is now on his way to becoming the next big star in American basketball.
Memphis beat out numerous prestigious universities to secure this towering talent who covers the four and five positions. And the Tigers’ coach is none other than the legendary Penny Hardaway, which only adds fuel to the fire around Majok’s future.
But wait, there’s more! KK Real Belgrade will rake in an astronomical sum of money from this transfer, a massive win for Serbian basketball. Milan Gurović, the man who brought Simon into his academy three years ago and launched him into the basketball orbit, is bursting with pride and confident in the bright future ahead for this young star.
Jovan Obradović, president of KK Real Belgrade, emphasizes that this transfer proves their system works flawlessly. Young talents from Serbia and beyond recognize KK Real as the place to grow and build their star-studded careers.
And if you thought this was the only transfer this summer, Obradović cryptically hints that more players might be heading to the NCAA. Simon, who gained Serbian citizenship during his time at Gurović’s academy, is eligible to play for the national team. If predictions come true, he will be a huge boost for the future Eagles.
So, basketball fans, get ready for a revolution! Simon Majok isn’t just talent – he’s proof that hard work, discipline, and the right system pay off.
