I hope that would be in Dallas. I'm not sure if that will ever happen, but obviously both are two of the best players in the world... I'm not sure, but of course, we want Luka in Dallas as long as we can. Hopefully, he finishes his career there, but I love Jokic's game, how he plays the game with passion, and the skill level as a big is unbelievable. They're both incredible players.

Recently, Jokic led Team Serbia to a bronze medal win at the Paris Olympics. Despite coming up against stronger opponents such as the USA twice, his quality shone through, especially in the semifinals. In that game, Jokic and his teammates put up a strong fight and almost tasted victory. But alas, the experience and greater quality of Team USA prevailed in the end. The Serbian will be looking forward to the new NBA season on the back of a good Olympic run.
