[Youngmisuk] Novak Djokovic calls Nikola Jokic, “the pride of Serbia.” Jokic had said last week that Djokovic was “the guy who represents Serbia in a much bigger scene. He’s a Serbian ambassador.” Jokic said he did not have Djokovic’s number. Djokovic said he just got Jokic’s number other day

serbian brothers stay linked up
Crazy how the best tennis and basketball player in the world are both Serbian.
Really nice of Novak to say. Obviously not true since Novak is literally the GOAT of his sport and tennis is far more important in Europe than basketball
Jokic giving up his number, but not having Djokovic’s, must mean Djokovic > Jokic defensively.
the jokers, together, strong.
They are joking with us… What a bunch of jokers
Imagine someone like Djokovic existing in the NBA lol
Dude gets next to zero crowd support compared to Federer and Nadal and is still going to end up with 80% of the records
It’s like if Jordan, LeBron, and Kareem all played at the same time and out of nowhere another player arose who became both the most hated player in the league and the best player
Or it’s like if there was a European football superstar who even Messi and Ronaldo fans banded together to hate but was on the same level
Stop the presses! Djokovic got Jokic’s phone number!
Was in Belgrade a few years back. It was basically Djokovic or Nikola Tesla everywhere you looked.
Imagine Serbia in sports with the population of Pakistan or Nigeria. LOL.
Djokovic is a big basketball fan. Kobe was a mentor of him.
Jokic seems like he is hilarious and fun to be around. Tennis fans all know that Djokovic is kind of a dick. Great tennis player though and mentally unbreakable, kind of Jordanesque
Both Serbian legends
Don’t do it Nikola.
Two of the best at their craft, and it’s quite remarkable that they’re both funny, sensible, and also incredibly competitive. Serbia has two very likable faces.
Jokic is super humble. I don’t think he realizes how good he is
Djokovic is an ass but respect where its due. GOAT level of tennis player.
Mitrovic erasure
I’ve always wanted to hate Djokovic for some reason but can’t. Guy seems like a great person.
I don’t think there’s any doubt Novak Djokovic’s remarkable success in men’s tennis has boosted the visibility of Serbian sports in general pretty significantly at the global level, especially in the western world. (That’s a significant difference relative to Djokovic’s fellow great contemporaries, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal; Switzerland and Spain respectively are already much more prominent in the western world than Serbia, part of the former Yugoslavia, is. Also, Nadal was beaten to the punch in some ways by the late golfing great Seve Ballesteros, who in many ways filled a similar role for Spain 35 years ago as Djokovic has for Serbia in recent years.) Jokic is boosting his country’s sports profile even more.
I was a kid when Sarajevo hosted the 1984 Winter Olympics, and I didn’t think the spotlight would shine brighter sports-wise on Yugoslavia (or parts of Yugoslavia) than it did then. Djokovic and now Jokic have proven me and that thought wrong.
For reference for people who don’t follow Tennis, this is basically MJ but everyone fucking hates him.
I mean he does have some support, but he’s legit one of the best tennis players of all time and everyone in Tennis knows who he is, but people just don’t like him for a litany of reasons.
Tesla in shambles
Itt: americans realizing how insanely good at sports slavic countries are, and always have been.
I love Jokic. He’s fun to watch and has a great personality.
But he hasn’t and will never eclipse Novak, one of the GOATs of his sport.
They both bring a great deal of pride to their nation in the sports world though.
Vlade divac is in shambles
Crazy how Serbia has both the best basketball and tennis player in the world rn.
“Hey, let’s hang some time! Oh, and maybe you can invite Kyrie too! You know him, right? I mean, it’s definitely YOU I want to hang with, but maybe invite Kyrie.” – Djokovic
The difference is that Jokic isn’t an anti-vax idiot.
he’s the dude everybody confuses jokic’s name with lol
