Nikola Jokic: ‘I ended up playing for the national team, we won the title’

Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets played an exhibition game against the Boston Celtics in Abu Dhabi, and after that, the Serbian center showed up by winning Olympic bronze in Paris this summer. “The last time I played for the national team we won the title. Maybe that means something, maybe it doesn’t. Many players say that summer competition helps you stay in shape. I’m not sure if that’s true, but I had a great time and I feel like I’ve improved. Whether it affects my current basketball or not, who knows,” said the three-time NBA MVP, thinking about leading the Nuggets to the 2023 NBA championship after representing Serbia in EuroBasket 2022.
