Ljubodrag “Duci” Simonovic, PhD,
philosopher and writer
,
contributor and honourable member of the Urban Book Circle
B I O G R A P H Y

Ljubodrag “Duci” Simonovic (Serbia, 1949) is a Serbian philosopher, author and former basketball player. He was born on January 1, 1949 to Jevrem and Ilonka (née Dobai).

He was a member of the Yugoslav national basketball team that won first place at the World Championship in 1970 in Ljubljana. He was also member of the European All-Stars team. He left the 1972 Munich Olympic Games in protest against the covering up – by FIBA, IOC and the Yugoslav Olympic leadership – of the proven doping of the Puerto Rican basketball team and was consequently thrown out of the Yugoslav national team. He received the nickname Duci at a young age and it stems from the Hungarian word böci.

Simonovic holds a MA degree in law and a PhD in philosophy. He is married and has three children: two sons and one daughter. He also has three grandchildren.

He has written and published numerous books in Serbian, English and Russian and is the author of the documentary film titled The Olympic Flame.


In 2014, Ljubodrag “Duci” Simonovic, PhD was awarded the Knight of the Urban Book Circle order by the Urban Book Circle of which he is an honourable member.
