He admitted that the… he needed Barack Obama in the semi-final of Olympic Games watching Serbia and dominates for three quarters. The former American president (2009-2017), who is a friend of basketball, bowed to the talent of Nikola Jokic.
“Serbia stressed me out and believe me, it also stressed out our coaches. Jokic is a monster! He is a very smart and efficient player, but not only that, he is also huge! He sees the court like Larry Bird and is like Papa Sabonis. You can’t mark him easily and their peripherals were very accurate. I didn’t think we would lose, but then I thought it might happen. Especially when we were down -15 in the third quarter, there was an anxiety. I can say that I was convinced that we would win two minutes before the end“, he emphasized.
“Embiid was pivotal. He found extra motivation when playing against Jokic. Davis has been great, but he can’t match Jokic on defense“, he added.
