“Ended More Dimly Than It Should Have”: Nikola Jokic Talks About Former NBA Duo Who Joined EuroLeague Giants

The center for the Denver Nuggets, Nikola Jokic, demonstrated why he is one of the finest players in the game and the back-to-back NBA MVP winner. On Sunday night, Jokic guided the Nuggets to a 119-115 victory over the Charlotte Hornets by doing a feat not seen since Wilt Chamberlain’s baseline-to-baseline sprinting. Few things are more prized in basketball’s garden of aesthetic pleasures than the big guy with the lovely passes.

Two of Nikola Jokic’s former Nuggets colleagues, who joined EuroLeague teams this year, were discussed. The Serbian power forward believes Markus Howard and Facundo Campazzo are NBA prospects.

“I think Facu’s NBA career has ended more dimly than it should have, and I believe that if he performs well at Red Star, he will be able to return to the NBA one day,” Jokic told Serbian channel Arena Sport.

“During his transfer process to Red Star, we had the opportunity to talk many times. I told him that Zvezda would be the right place for him,” Jokic added.

Nikola Jokic made 13 of 26 shots for 40 points, including 2-of-4 from beyond the arc. He also had two steals, 10 assists, and 27 rebounds. Since Chamberlain, he is the first player to have at least 40 points, at least 25 rebounds, and at least 10 assists in a single game. Joki’s early life and profession are described in stories that don’t make much sense. Like other famous athletes in Europe, he didn’t play for a major club when he was a young man. When he was selected in the second round, as ESPN was airing a Taco Bell ad, he was dozing off in Serbia.
