Predrag "Peja" Stojaković is a Serbian former professional basketball player and current basketball executive. Standing 6 feet 10 inches, he played primarily as a small forward in the NBA from 1998 to 2011 for five different teams. He is most famous for his tenure with the Sacramento Kings, where he was a three-time NBA All-Star.
Stojaković is widely regarded as one of the greatest shooters in NBA history. Upon his retirement, his total of 1,760 three-point field goals ranked fourth all-time. His successful career was capped by winning an NBA championship with the Dallas Mavericks in 2011, cementing his legacy as an elite offensive player.
The name Stojaković has recently returned to sports headlines, but this time in reference to a different individual. Andrej Stojakovic, the son of Predrag, is a college basketball player for the University of Illinois. He has been making news for his standout performances, including scoring 23 points and making a crucial defensive play in a recent victory over a ranked opponent, demonstrating the emergence of a new generation of the Stojaković basketball family.
