Bogdan Bogdanović, also known as "Bogey" or "Bogi," is a Serbian professional basketball player who currently plays for the Atlanta Hawks in the NBA. He is also a key player for the Serbian national team. Born on August 18, 1992, in Belgrade, Serbia, Bogdanović hails from a family with roots in Plužine, Montenegro.

Bogdanović's basketball journey began in his hometown, where he started playing organized basketball for ŠKK Zvezdara, a club in Belgrade. He showcased his talent and potential, catching the attention of scouts and coaches. In April 2008, he joined Žitko Basket (then known as Alimenti Basket), another Belgrade-based club, under the guidance of coach Dragan Jakovljević.

During his time with Žitko Basket, Bogdanović was part of the team that achieved third place in the 2009–10 Junior Serbian League. In the final eight tournament held in Vršac, they defeated Partizan juniors in the quarterfinals, experienced a narrow 89–86 loss to Hemofarm juniors in the semifinals, and ultimately secured a victory against FMP junior team (82–76) to clinch the third place.

Bogdanović's talents and skills continued to evolve, and in May 2010, he was selected to join FMP's junior team for the Nike International Junior Tournament (NIJT) in Paris. The FMP juniors aimed to defend their club's double title from the previous two years. Bogdanović played a crucial role in the team's success, contributing 21 points and 6 rebounds, including a game-winning buzzer-beater against Málaga juniors. Despite an unfortunate mid-game injury in the final game against INSEP, FMP finished as runners-up in the tournament.

Apart from his basketball achievements, Bogdanović pursued his education alongside his athletic career. He attended the Rade Koncar Electrical Engineering School in Belgrade during his high school years. Later, he continued his education at Alfa BK University, where he majored in sports. However, specific details about his further educational pursuits are currently unknown.

Bogdanović's passion for sports was evident from a young age, and he initially had to choose between basketball and football. Despite being drawn to both sports, he ultimately dedicated himself to basketball and set his sights on playing in the NBA. His determination and commitment paid off when he entered the professional ranks and joined the Sacramento Kings before eventually joining the Atlanta Hawks.
