Born in Sarajevo to a family of Herzegovinian Serbs (father Milan from the Orašje Zubci village near Trebinje and mother Vuka from the Kukričje village near Bileća), Danilović grew up in the Alipašino polje neighbourhood near the RTV Sarajevo main building. During adolescence, his summers and winters were mostly spent in his parents\' respective villages and the town of Trebinje where he had aunts and uncles.\n', '

A tall and lanky kid, Danilović excelled in various sports, including soccer, speed skating, and street basketball. Already well versed in streetball, he started playing organized basketball in KK Bosna\'s youth setup under youth coach Mladen Ostojić. The player\'s talent was evident immediately and it didn\'t take long before he started receiving attention from bigger Yugoslav clubs such as KK Partizan whose assistant coach Duško Vujošević got alerted about the youngster\'s talents by the team\'s point guard Željko Obradović who spotted Danilović during summer 1985 at an inter-republic youth basketball tournament on Mount Zlatibor. Young Danilović played for a select team of players from SR Bosnia-Herzegovina at the tournament.\n', '
