Kossie's "Prince" is one of Petrović's nicknames.
When he first arrived at the Trail Blazers in the 90s season, he received this nickname because of his handsome appearance.
But this title has a deeper meaning. At that time, Petrović was young and ambitious, determined to surpass Ah Gan.
Until this season, Petrović was still ambitious, even "imagining" becoming the regular season MVP.
Because Ah Gan is Portland's undisputed King and Oregon Emperor, Petrović, who wanted to take his place, became the Prince.
This nickname had a hint of sarcasm. When Petrović first came to Portland, his relationship with other black players was average; he seemed too aloof.
This season, at the start, he performed exceptionally well, but as Trail Blazers' injured players returned and Petrović injured his knee, his performance dropped.
Nonetheless, by the end of the season, Petrović was still included in the All-NBA Third Team lineup, successfully fulfilling his promise.
