Obradovic's playoff record speaks for itself. Zeljko Obradovic's teams played 21 series in the EuroLeague/European Champions Cup playoff history (1992 - up to date) and won 20 of them, per Yannis Psarakis.

Obradovic, a nine-time EuroLeague champion, brought Partizan back to the EuroLeague postseason action after a 13-year break. Zeljko and his players have clinched a spot in the playoffs in the very first year of their EuroLeague comeback.

After securing a place in the playoffs, Partizan will aim for a higher seed. Obradovic's squad could possibly go as far as 5th place, depending on the result of the Round 34 matchup against Panathinaikos.

Though, the Serbian powerhouse has the biggest chance (65%) to complete the EuroLeague regular season at the sixth spot.

Moreover, they have the greatest probability to meet one of the Spanish giants -- Real Madrid or FC Barcelona -- in the best-of-five series.
