Milos Teodosic is a notable point guard known for having great skills as a shooting guard in the Euroleague Basketball.  After a long delay, NBA fans will be able to watch his skill in the league.

Previously, Teodosic has a little interest to play in the NBA as he felt that may be too far to achieve. But lately he changed his mind and according to CBS Sports, he is interested to play for an NBA team with certain conditions. He wants the team to know his game and utilize him properly as a playmaker and scorer.

Meanwhile, the nature of NBA play which is more defensive may be uncomfortable for his style of play. However, he can adjust the game with a certain team. Currently Teodosic plays for CSKA Moscow who signed him in 2011. Soon after winning the 2016 Euroleague championship he wanted to pursue more challenges. NBA will be the best place for him to compete against the best players in the world.

"I feel hungrier than ever for basketball and titles," he told EuroHoops. "I want to go to the NBA and I know that I can establish myself there and really contribute."

However, an interesting question is whether Teodosic can adjust his style of play in NBA as Hoops Habit reported. With his wingman in CSKA Moscow, French player Nando de Colo they made a formidable duo. Teodosic averaged 16.1 points per game, while de Colo 19.4.

His style of play is a ballhander to set offensive setpieces for CSKA. Teodosic managed to average 6 assists per game and he was also able to open space for him to get his own shot.

In Europe, Teodosic is definitely the basketball legend. He has been in an All-Euroleague selection for five times, and also Euroleague MVP in 2010. His latest achievement is to bring silver medal in two international championships for his country, Serbia in 2014 FIBA World Championship and 2016 Rio Olympic Games.

Now, he will bring his play to NBA and facing the toughest basketball defense in the world. Watch the amazing performance from European Basketball legend Teodosic in FIBA 2014 Championship below:
