Bogdanovic: “Jokic is lucky he didn’t play for Red Star or Partizan”

Honey… she was dripping for him Nikola Jokic The Bogdan Bogdanovic.

The Serbian guard said that when he first met “Joker” no one expected him to be crowned NBA champion after a few years, while he emphasized that it was good for him that he did not fight in Red Star or Partisanbefore moving to the US.

“I find this whole thing with Jokic incredible. I knew him from a young age. We had met at a mutual friend’s house, where he had come to play Playstation. He was quiet and calm. We didn’t even think that one day he would celebrate an NBA championship in a few years. It was terrible the whole process, to become a champion“, the Serbian guard first told ESPN, and then was asked what impression he made the first time he saw him play basketball:

“A very good shooter for his height, who knows how to pass. But, he stood out for the way he controlled the game and exemplified how basketball should be played. He thinks about every second he is on the floor. Even before entering it does not stop working. He doesn’t lose his mind during the match. It also opened up a different path for guys playing in the US and Europe, as before you were more visible if you played in big teams. I think he was lucky he didn’t fight in Red Star or Partisan. So, he has done everything by himself, which for many is difficult at first».
