Aleksandar Radojević (Serbian Cyrillic: Александар Радојевић, /rəˈdɔɪ.əvɪtʃ/;[1] born August 8, 1976) is a Bosnian former professional basketball player.
Radojević was born in either Herceg Novi,[2] or Bijela,[3] Montenegro, or Trebinje, in Bosnia and Herzegovina,[4] all in the now former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
A 7 ft 3 in center, Radojević signed a national letter of intent to play for Ohio State University's men's basketball in the early part of 1997.
After a year at Barton County CC where he averaged over 4 blocks per game, accusations surfaced that Radojević had reportedly been given several thousand dollars to move to Ohio State University after his freshman season which resulted in coach Jim O'Brien getting fired and Radojevic being declared ineligible to play collegiately.
[7] O'Brien said he gave Radojević the loan in 1999 because the player's father was dying and the family had no money for medical treatment or the funeral.
He did not record a single minute of action in the season before the Raptors decided to trade him to the Denver Nuggets on January 12, 2001, along with Kevin Willis, Garth Joseph, and a second-round draft choice, in exchange for Keon Clark, Tracy Murray, and Mamadou N'diaye.
On October 22, 2001, before the start of the 2001–02 season, Denver shipped him off to the Milwaukee Bucks along with Kevin Willis as part of a three-way trade that saw Scott Williams join the Nuggets.
