Nikola Jokic and Giannis Antetonkounmpo
Lately, NBA fans stormed the twitter when Nikola Jokic scored a fantastic basket when Giannis Antetokounmpo was guarding him. Considering Giannis is taller than Nikola, he should have been able to stop the basket, but Nikola made a smart move by making a swift turnaround, landing on one foot and shooting the ball. This happened during a match between Serbia and Greece at the FIBA qualifiers. Nikola looked unstoppable and led from the front to take Serbia home.
Both the players looked in prime form, but Nikola somehow edged Giannis as this was a do-or-die game for Serbia to make it to the 2023 FIBA championship. In the second half of the game, Jokic switched and decided to defend Giannis by himself and was going tough on him. Both of these players win the last four MVP awards, two each. They have quietly made a name for themselves in the star-studded NBA league.
During the fourth quarter, during Serbia’s offense, Nikola had the ball, and he made this intelligent move by tricking Giannis and scoring right under his nose. This move shocked all, and the NBA fans then took it to Twitter to appreciate this brilliant play by Nikola. The match went into overtime, but Serbia managed to itch Greece and stay afloat in a nail-biting finish.
Antetokounmpo finished with 40 points, eight rebounds, five assists, and two steals. That was his career-high in scoring for the Greek national team, while Jokic had 29 points, eight rebounds, and six assists while also coming away with the victory. It was a marvellous performance from the reigning MVP.
