The Serbian basketball sensation and Miami Heat forward, Nikola Jovic, delivered an amazing performance in the FIBA World Cup 2023 semifinals, not just with his gameplay but also with his funny antics post-match, targeting Canadian player Dillon Brooks in a humorous manner. Serbia clinched a crucial victory against Canada with a scoreline of 95-86, which put them in position to face the winners of the United States-Germany matchup in the championship finale.
Jovic was seen engaging in a playful trolling act aimed at Dillon Brooks, the Houston Rockets wing who had a rather controversial week. Earlier this week, Brooks found himself being ejected from the game against Slovenia due to an instance of taunting post a fourth-quarter shot. Notably, he wore boxing gloves jokingly after the earlier mentioned game, a gesture that caught significant attention.
This gesture seemed to have stuck with Jovic who decided to respond in kind. Following the semifinal victory over Canada, Jovic was spotted throwing air punches playfully in the tunnel, clearly referencing Brooks’ earlier antic.
Jovic has been a key performer in Serbia’s World Cup campaign, marking his impact not just through scores but also with his precise shooting. He had an amazing record against South Sudan, contributing a massive 25 points and leading his team to a dominant 115-83 win. His recent performance against Canada, where he scored eight points with a perfect 4-for-4 field record, proves he’s in great form.
Nikola Jovic’s rising career and anticipation of NBA season face-off
The 20-year-old forward has had a promising start to his career, showcasing remarkable skill and prowess in both the NBA and the G League. Despite having a limited appearance in the NBA, playing only 15 games during his rookie season with the Miami Heat, Jovic demonstrated his potential as a rising star. His stats from the rookie season are proof of his capabilities, averaging 5.5 points and 2.1 rebounds per game, with a shooting accuracy of 40.6 percent from the field.
Furthermore, his performance in the G League highlights his growing status in the sport, where he averaged 12.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game, impressively shooting 46.7 percent from the field and 34.5 percent from beyond the arc.
As the anticipation builds for the championship game, eyes are also set on the upcoming 2023-24 NBA season. Basketball enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the face-off between Jovic’s Miami Heat and Brooks’ Houston Rockets.
