Career

In 2000 Perković moved from his hometown club from Rijeka to Slovenia, where he played one season each in Kranj and Polzela . During this time he was together with Zoran Planinić , Krešimir Lončar , Bruno Šundov and the Mannheim- born Mario Stojić in the squad of the Croatian junior national team, which reached the final at the U21 World Cup in Japan, where the US selection for the later NBA All-Star Carlos Boozer lost after a five-point lead at halftime with 80:89. Perković reached his best point yield at this tournament in the final, when he scored ten points in 16 minutes of use in addition to five rebounds .

For the 2002/03 season Perković returned to his home country and played in Zadar , where he surprisingly won the championship of the Adriatic Basketball Association with the local club , in which the best clubs of the former Yugoslavia participate. After the main round, they finished fourth just ahead of their national rival and former Croatian series champion KK Cibona , who could also be defeated in the national cup final. At the Final Four tournament in Ljubljana they surprisingly beat KK Roter Stern Belgrade with one point and in the final the Israeli series champion Maccabi Tel Aviv , who had participated as a visiting team in the league. Then Perković played two seasons in the Croatian-Bosnian Široki Brijeg , whose club won the national double championship and cup in 2004 for the third time in a row. After being unsuccessful in 2005, he moved to master KK Bosna from Sarajevo , who was able to defend his title in 2006.

In 2006, Perković moved for one season to the Greek A1 Ethniki to Athlitiki Enosis Konstantinoupoleos (AEK) from the capital Athens . However, AEK had already had its best times and missed the play-offs for the national championship in ninth place at the end of the season . Then Perković moved in 2007 to the German basketball league for the EWE Baskets Oldenburg. After a semi - final defeat in the play-offs in 2008 , they moved into the final series of the championship a year later, in which they had the upper hand in the maximum number of games in the " best-of-five " series against Telekom Baskets Bonn and won the championship title for the club for the first time. However, Perković himself was injured and could not intervene in the game during the play-offs. After they were eliminated in the first round in the highest European club competition ULEB Euroleague 2009/10 after only one win in ten games, they lost as the main round first and defending champion in the first play-off round of the BBL season 2009/10 , whereupon the Oldenburg team was rebuilt and some players left the club.

Perković then moved in 2010 to the Italian Lega Basket Serie A to Vanoli-Braga from Cremona , who had been promoted a year earlier. In a team with his former Oldenburg teammate Je'Kel Foster and the former Bonn Earl Jerrod Rowland , who had been defeated in the German final series in 2009, they missed the play-offs for the Italian championship. Also in the following season could not improve, so that Perković 'contract was not extended. At the beginning of the 2012/13 season he was initially without engagement before he was signed in November 2012 by the relegation-threatened German first division club Gießen 46ers. The two-month contract ended in January 2013 and was not extended after the club had previously filed for bankruptcy. Perković then joined the Slovenian runner-up KK Union Olimpija from Ljubljana for the rest of the season.
