A memorial center dedicated to Drazen Petrovic opened Wednesday, the Associated Press is reporting, containing his No. 3 New Jersey Nets jersey and the watch that stopped when he died in a car crash 13 years ago.

Launched by Petrovic's mother and co-financed by the government, the center features 1,000 memorabilia items and a video of his basketball highlights. Petrovic died at 28 in Germany in 1993.
