Serbia is 0-3 against USA with a point differential of -56 this summer

If you exclude the exhibition game then Serbia is 0-2 with a point differential of -30

I am once again asking why Jokic is getting so much praise when he choked away a double digit lead in the 4th quarter and Serbia qualified for the Olympics without him.

It’s not “The Avengers vs Jokic” it was USA demolishing the second best team in the Olympics.

Jokic is the only superstar where we diminish his teammates to make him look better instead of holding him accountable

    There is wrong on both sides

    The Jokic fanatics are definitely downplaying the impact of his teammates. Guys like Bogdanovic, Abramovich and other Serbs played their absolute hearts out on the defensive end and were hitting incredibly tough shots all game long. It was a team effort. Jokic also didn’t have his best scoring the ball, going 0/6 from the 3 point line.

    However, Jokic haters are taking it too far and trying to act as if Jokic was getting carried. If you pay attention the tape, pretty much every shot the Serbians generated was through Jokic’s gravity. He was also great defensively for a large majority of that game until he picked up his 4th foul.

      Yeah agree.

      This Serbian team is amazing in Fiba already without Jokic, but he makes them a lot better and unlocks some of their players further.

      I feel like its unfair to call it Jokic vs USA. Do people forget that they won silver last year? That Serbian team would have probably beat team USA last summer if they had met. And yea sure the team last year not the very best USA had to offer but it was still a team with multiple all stars.

      NBA fans are just disrespectful to Euros, whats new lol
