Zadar’s Protection Squad
Zadar has four patron saints. If that seems a bit excessive, read the History section, you’ll soon understand why.... -

He was the first European in the NBA. This June, the city (understandably) went crazy when Zadar beat Zagreb team Cibona to win the Croatian league for the first time in 19 years.
