Nikola Jokic in action against the Warriors
NBA star Nikola Jokic is known as one of the strongest defenders in the league, and he successfully carried his legacy in the EuroBasket tournament as well. The back-to-back MVP winner is one of the most multi-talented players and he has an added talent that he can play at all positions in one go. Jokic is a player who can score from all areas of the court. He has the passing skills of a guard, and he can take jump shots that cannot be matched by some forward players.
Nikola Jokic plays for Serbia, and during the EuroBasket tournament, he showed off with an impressive defensive play which was more of an accidental play. However, it was still a pretty fantastic show. Jokic plays like he has four eyes, two in the front and two at the back. He just swirled in for the lay-up by deflecting the ball. That was an unorthodox basket; hardly anyone believed this shot, as everyone was amazed. Jokic finished the game with 19 points, 5 rebounds, and 1 assist against Poland.
Serbia advanced to the Round of 16 where they’ll face Italy. Serbia has a winning streak of five matches unbeaten after a 96-69 thrashing of Poland. Jokic dominates in international competition just as much as he does in the NBA. There is a reason why Joker has won the league MVP in back-to-back years. Denver Nuggets will be eager to win the upcoming 2022-2023 season, with Jamal Murray finally coming back, and Jokic in top form they are serious contenders to win the title. Jokic and Serbia will eye winning the international competition, but Jokic’s play will always be a key factor and he can be a threat to any opponent on his night.

The two are definitely the top players of the league right now. But Jokic is still searching for a chance to lift the prestigious Larry O’Brien trophy, while Giannis has already led his team to an NBA Championship.
