On the one-year anniversary of Dejan "Deki" Milojević's passing, the Golden State Warriors have announced the creation of the Dejan Milojević Brate Award, which will be presented annually. This honor recognizes a member of the basketball operations staff who exemplifies Milojević's spirit, dedication, and legacy. The term "brate," meaning "brother" in Serbian, symbolizes the camaraderie and connection he fostered among his colleagues.
Milojević, who tragically died from a heart attack last year, has left a lasting impact on the Warriors organization. His colleagues remember him for his joyful demeanor, mentorship, and honesty, recalling how he held players accountable while maintaining a supportive atmosphere.
