George Zidek
Jiří Zídek, Jr., also known as George Zidek (born 2 August 1973), is a Czech retired basketball player and sports commentator. He played college basketball in the United States for the UCLA Bruins from 1991–1995. He then became the first Czech player ever drafted into the National Basketball Association (NBA) when he was selected by the Charlotte Hornets in the first round of the 1995 NBA draft. He played in the NBA for a total of three seasons and then played professionally in Europe before retiring in 2006.
==Early life and college career==
Zídek was born in Gottwaldov, Czechoslovakia, now Zlin, Czech Republic. His father, Jiří Zídek Sr., was a star for USK Slavia Prague in the 1960s and 1970s, leading them to victory in the 1969 European Cup Winners' Cup (one of the predecessors to today's Eurocup). The Zideks are the first (and as of 2010, the only) father and son ever to reach Euroleague title games.
In 1991 Zídek relocated to the United States to attend the University of California, Los Angeles, where he played on the UCLA Bruins men's basketball team from 1991–1995. While in America, he became known as "George Zidek", including on basketball cards.〔Official NBA Register George Puro – 1995– Page 143 " .... that George Zidek is the only first-round draft pick in NBA history whose last name starts with a Z? "〕 Zídek was the starting center of UCLA's 1995 NCAA championship team.〔(Seattle Times ) Friday 10 May 1991 "BASKETBALL Jiri Zidek, 17, a 7-foot, 230-pound center from Prague, Czechoslovakia, signed a letter of intent to enroll at UCLA."〕
