"BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) -- Former NBA star Vlade Divac plans to run for president of Serbia's Olympic committee.
The former Los Angeles Lakers and Sacramento Kings center says he wants to help "create conditions for (good) results of our sportsmen."
Divac already works as an adviser for the Serbian government. His candidacy for the Olympic Committee was put forward on Friday by Serbia's Basketball Association.
After retiring from basketball, Divac moved to his native Serbia where he has a business and runs a humanitarian organization".
Divac is the right person for this post. His career in the NBA can be considered as a success since he was able to last their so long.
He was one of the European pioneers in the NBA and his presence there has made it easier for the other Europeans to follow his footsteps.
