Nikola Jokic’s history with Serbia
FIBA
Nikola Jokic got off to a solid start in his first official tournament call-up with the senior team. At the 2016 Olympics Serbia won the silver medal after knocking off Croatia and Australia, falling in the final to the United States. In that first Olympic tournament, he left a good impression with averages of 9.1 points, 6 rebounds and 2.4 assists as a reserve.
That experience in Rio de Janeiro marked a before and after, as the Serb would not return to the national team until World Cup 2019, which caused a certain rejection towards him in his country. In that tournament in China as a captain he did not live up to expectations and the Balkans finished fifth after being knocked out by Argentina.

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo He gave a harsh response to the question about a possible trade to another NBA club:
“I’m here. Don’t ask me that question. It’s disrespectful to me and my teammates. I wear this jersey every day.
To say I don’t want to be here is disrespectful to the organization, the coaching staff, myself and everyone who worked hard to get me on the field. Don’t ask me this question. I am her. I’m going out in this uniform. And as long as I’m here, I’ll give it my all until the last second of the match.”
On the night of December 27-28, Antetokounmpo returned to the field after his calf muscle injury and became the most productive player of the game with the Chicago Bulls – 112:103.
