Early Career

Miloš Kešelj, a Serbian professional basketball player, began his career in 2004 with Avala Ada in Belgrade, where he played for two years, including in the Serbian top division.

Breakthrough with "Girona"

In 2006, at the age of 18, Kešelj caught the attention of coach Svetislav Pešić, who invited him to join Spanish club "Girona." Although he struggled to earn a regular starting spot, Kešelj contributed to Girona's victory in the 2007 FIBA EuroChallenge Cup.

German Experience and Return to Serbia

Loaned to German club "Köln" in the same year, Kešelj averaged 9.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.0 steals per game in the German league. In 2008, following Pešić, he moved to Belgrade's "Crvena Zvezda," signing a two-year contract.

Financial Woes and Move to Greece

Financial difficulties at Crvena Zvezda in 2010 led to delayed player salaries, and Kešelj decided to leave the team. In August 2010, he signed a three-year contract with Greek powerhouse "Olympiacos."

European Success with Olympiacos

During his two seasons at Olympiacos, Kešelj won the Greek Cup, Greek Championship, and the prestigious EuroLeague. However, he failed to secure a regular starting role and left the club early in 2012.

International Career

Kešelj represented Serbia at the 2009 Summer Universiade in Belgrade, where he won a gold medal. He made his debut with the Serbian national team at the 2010 FIBA World Championship in Turkey.
