I’ve seen Croatian flag in that same spot in pretty much every Denver game at New Orleans for years now. Can only assume it’s the same guy.
Few years back the Altitude crew interviewed the flag guy during the game, thinking that was a Serbian flag and he was there to support Jokić. The guy pretended he was a Jokić fan, and proceeded to call him a Četnik (ethnic slur Croats use for Serbs) on live TV. I think it was Ally Sturm who did the interview. Later in the broadcast (or maybe during the next game broadcast) Marlowe or Hastings apologized for the blunder.
I wonder if that guy is even a Pelicans fan, or just there to hate on Jokić. I haven’t noticed him at other games (granted I didn’t watch many Pelicans games vs other teams). He is so close to Nuggets bench, I can only imagine the insults thrown Jokić’s way. I’ve never seen Jokić react to him, but I am sure he’s noticed him.

Technically cetnik isn’t a slur but he definitely meant it in a derogatory way as he likely hates them. Cunts gonna cunt. Meanwhile, the best player in the league is Serbian, not that it matters but apparently it does to some.

I don’t know who he is, but his life must be miserable when he finds satisfaction in something like this. I feel sorry for the dude.
