Nikola Prkačin (born November 15, 1975) is a Croatian former professional basketball player. He resides in Zagreb, Croatia, with his wife and three children. His natural position is center, though he is also able to play as power forward. Prkačin is known for his pick and roll play, precise hookshot and half-distance shot. Although shorter in height comparing to most European centers, Prkačin compensates it with his immense strength and body balance. It is also a great rarity to see Prkačin try for a three point field goal. In free time he enjoys fishing and playing water polo.〔(hoo.hr profile ) 〕 == Playing history == Prkačin started his career in his hometown Dubrovnik, playing for the local team Pomorac.
