1987

Miloš Teodosić (Милош Теодосић, born March 19, 1987) is a Serbian professional basketball player for Crvena zvezda of the Serbian KLS, the Adriatic League and the EuroLeague.

He also represents the National Basketball Team of Serbia internationally.

He primarily plays the point guard and shooting guard positions.

2005

After being loaned to Borac Čačak for the 2005–06 season, he had a breakthrough 2006–07 season.

Over 16 games in the ULEB Cup (now called EuroCup), he averaged 7.8 points, 2.9 assists, and 2.1 rebounds per game.

FMP was eventually eliminated in the semi-final of this second-tier level European-wide competition.

They also played in the final series of the Adriatic League playoffs, where they lost to Partizan Belgrade.

2007

In 2007, Teodosić signed a five-year contract with Olympiacos of the Greek Basket League, worth €2.8 million net income (after taxes).

Olympiacos also had to pay a buyout to FMP, to secure his rights.

The contract he signed with Olympiacos included a €1.3 million buyout clause amount.

However, the contract also stipulated that Olympiacos would hold the right to match any offer made to him by another club that offered to pay his buyout.

2009

Under Teodosić the Serbia national team won a EuroBasket silver medal in 2009, as well as a FIBA Basketball World Cup silver medal in 2014, being elected to the All-Tournament Team in both competitions.

In the 2009–10 Euroleague season, Teodosić averaged 13.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, 4.9 assists, and 1.8 steals per game, all career highs up to that point.

Teodosić played a crucial role in Olympiacos Pireaus, reaching the EuroLeague Final Four, where they eventually lost in the final to FC Barcelona, after beating KK Partizan in the semi-final.

2010

He is a six time All-EuroLeague selection, and was voted EuroLeague MVP in 2010.

He was named FIBA Europe Player of the Year in 2010, and in 2016, he was voted the best non-NBA player in the world by NBA coaches, as well as the European Player of the Year by La Gazzetta dello Sport.

He began playing basketball in hometown clubs KK Student and Metalac.

He then moved to Belgrade-based club FMP where he signed his first professional contract.

Teodosić was voted onto the All-EuroLeague First Team, and on May 8, 2010, he was officially announced as the EuroLeague 2010 MVP, his first, and to this date only, EuroLeague MVP award win in his career.

2011

On July 6, 2011, Teodosić signed a three-year contract with CSKA Moscow of the Russian League and VTB United League.

The contract was worth €5.7 million euros net income.

In his first season with the Russian club, he led them to the EuroLeague Final, where they lost 62–61 to his former club, Olympiacos.

He was named to the All-EuroLeague Second Team before the start of the Final Four.

His second season with CSKA was statistically even better for him, as he averaged 12.7 points, 4.9 assists, and a career-high 2.8 rebounds in the EuroLeague.

He was also once again named to the All-EuroLeague Second Team, his second consecutive nomination.

2013

After beating Panathinaikos in the quarterfinal playoff series round in the 2013–14 Euroleague, CSKA Moscow lost in the semi-final of the EuroLeague Final Four to Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Shortly after failing to win the EuroLeague for the third straight year, the president of CSKA blamed Teodosić and his Serbian teammate, Nenad Krstić, for not putting enough effort in over the season.

Back on the Russian national domestic league front, shortly after the EuroLeague Final Four, CSKA was facing elimination in the VTB United League playoff quarterfinal series versus Lokomotiv Kuban, trailing 0–2, without home court advantage.

Teodosić and Krstić helped CSKA storm back to win the series 3–2, after the large deficit, to advance to the league's semi-finals, as they answered the previous criticism from the club's president.

Eventually, CSKA won the VTB United League by sweeping Nizhny Novgorod 3–0 in the finals series.

Teodosić was named the VTB Playoffs MVP.

Despite winning the VTB United League, the 2013–14 season was seen as a disappointment for CSKA, and it was expected that Teodosić, as well as his teammate Nenad Krstić, and team head coach Ettore Messina, could all leave the club over the summer.

Eventually, Krstić and Messina left the club.

2014

However, in June 2014, Teodosić extended his contract with the club for three more years.

On November 7, 2014, in a EuroLeague game victory against Unicaja Málaga, Teodosić recorded a career-high 27 points, while also adding 10 assists.

2015

In May 2015, he was named to the All-EuroLeague First Team for his performances throughout the season.

CSKA Moscow managed to advance to the EuroLeague Final Four for the fourth straight season, after eliminating Panathinaikos, for the second straight season in the quarter-finals series 3–1.

However, in the semi-final game, despite being dubbed by media members as the favorite to advance, CSKA Moscow once again lost to Olympiacos.

2016

He also won an Olympic silver medal at the 2016 Rio Games.
