Description
Luka Pavićević (Serbian Cyrillic: Лука Павићевић; born 17 June 1968) is a Montenegrin professional basketball coach and former player. Most recently, he served as the head coach for Alvark Tokyo of the Japanese B.League.
A point guard, Pavićević played basketball between 1982 and 2003. During his playing days, he played for Budućnost, Cibona, Jugoplastika / Pop 84, Proleter Zrenjanin, Crvena zvezda, FMP Železnik, Beobanka, Soproni Ászok, Espoon Honka, Anwil Włocławek, Rabotnički, and Besançon. He retired as a player with Crvena zvezda in 2003. In three seasons with Jugoplastika, he won three European Champions Cup championships (1988–89, 1989–90, 1990–91), three Yugoslav League titles (1988–89, 1989–90, 1990–91), and three Yugoslav Cup tournaments.
Born in Titograd to a construction engineer father Božidar who had a stint as director of the Republički zavod za urbanizam i projektovanje (RZUP) state-owned urban planning enterprise and dentist-orthodontist mother Nedeljka, young Luka grew up in the neighbourhood of Preko Morače where he attended the Maxim Gorky Elementary School.
Inspired by a documentary called Maestro about the Yugoslav basketball star player Dragan Kićanović—produced by Yugoslav television and aired as part of its 1980 Moscow Olympics coverage—Pavićević took up streetball at age 12 via joining ballers gathering daily on the concrete court in the city's Njegošev Park. Marking himself out as a quick ball handler capable of competing against significantly older individuals, the teenager caught the eye of KK Budućnost's head coach Čedomir Đurašković who invited the youngster to join the club.
After retirement in 2003, Pavićević joined OKK Beograd as their new head coach. Afterwards, he coached Atlas Belgrade, Hemofarm, Panionios, Alba Berlin and Chorale Roanne. In November 2015, Budućnost hired Pavićević as their new head coach. In March 2016, he parted ways with Budućnost.
In June 2017, Pavićević was named as the head coach of Alvark Tokyo of the Japanese B.League. He won two Japanese B.League titles (2017–18 and 2018–19) and FIBA Asia Champions Cup title in 2019. In June 2022, he parted ways with Alvark Tokyo.
