Serbia only has one Olympic medal.

I think he means any medal at 2024 Olympics. They have 2 gold

I only know this because I am located in Asia and they show a lot of shooting, diving and table tennis. Zzz

OMG, I love Joker so much. I’ve never loved any player this much. Even Dirk. He’s just insane. The way he just closed that game out playing PERFECT basketball on both ends the last minute when he had to be exhausted just defies logic. I don’t know anyone can be that clutch.

My favorite part is that he is void of showing any emotion and just continues to be the most dominant player. Completely effortless.

Giddey is a stud, I am pretty sure about it.
Marko didn't have his vision nor his handling, in particular at that age.

Not worried about Serbia at all. Its a one man team. Poverty version of the Nuggets which are a lottery team without Jokic.

Great masterclass by Jok though.
