The former Cal and Stanford standout, Andrej Stojakovic says his dad has never focused on outside noise. “He’s someone who just enjoys watching basketball and all he cares about is myself and the rest of the guys on the team finding enjoyment from playing,” he said. “He doesn’t care that we made the Final Four. It’s not about that. It’s about the hard work we put in finally paying off. And the idea of us loving the game as a showing right now.” While suiting up for the Illini, he tries to strike a balance between using and valuing the insight his father can offer, while knowing he is his own player – and not just a replica of his dad on or off the court. “It’s been great taking advice from him throughout my playing career, not just about basketball but about life in general,” Stojakovic said.
