Aleksandar Zečević (born June 23, 1975 in Sarajevo , SR Bosnia and Herzegovina ) is a former Bosnian basketball player . After Zečević had started his career in the Serbian league, he moved in 2001 to the German basketball league for a year at Telekom Baskets from Bonn . After a station in Portugal he came to the Royal Basket Club from Pepinster , Belgium , for which he played until 2009. In 2012 he finally ended his active career in Georgia .
Career
Zečević began his career in the youth teams of Red Star in the Serbian capital Belgrade . In 1998 he rose to the top division of the then Federal Republic of Yugoslavia with the second division club KK Hemofarm from Vršac . In the 2000/01 season they played internationally and reached the finals for the European Korać Cup , which were lost to the Spanish representative Unicaja Málaga . Zečević's strong personal performances with a good 16 points and an average of five rebounds convinced his compatriot Predrag Krunić , coach of the German first division team Telekom Baskets Bonn, to bring him into his team for the 2001/02 BBL season . Equal on points with the first Opel Skyliners Frankfurt , the first in the main round , they entered the play-offs , where they were eliminated in the semi-final series against the promoted and local rivals RheinEnergie Cologne . Internationally, they failed in the Saporta Cup in the quarterfinals against the later Spanish finalist Pamesa Valencia . Then Zečević left Germany, but a contract with the Israeli club Hapoel Jerusalem did not materialize, so that he finally signed with the Portuguese first division club from Oliveira de Azeméis . With this he won their only national title to date when they won the cup final.
In 2003 Zečević moved to Belgium, where he played the following six seasons for the Royal Basket Club from Pepinster at Verviers . As second in the main round they were eliminated in the semi-final series of the national championship in 2004, while in the ULEB Cup 2003/04 in a preliminary round group with, among others, the Telekom Baskets Bonn and the eventual title winner Hapoel Jerusalem after ten games. In the following season they took part in the FIBA Europe League, later called EuroChallenge , in which they were eliminated in the preliminary round as bottom of the table. The team was also unable to match the previous successes nationally and ended up consistently in the lower third of the table. In Zečević's last season for RBC Pepinster, they even finished ninth in the table in 2009, even if the top Belgian division was not relegated back then. In the following season Zečević played for a month and four games for the French second division Olympique from Antibes in the LNB Pro B , before he returned to the Belgian league for the Bears from Leuven at the end of the season. In 2012 Zečević was again active in Georgia for BK Dinamo from Tbilisi .
