U.S.333.3 million people
France 67.97 million people
Serbia 6.664 million people. LETS JUST THIS SINK IN…🎉🎉🎉🎉
Denver should sign Avramovic, he was very good at the tournament, and I think that if he played last year instead of Jackson maybe Denver would past Minnesota.
Joker got robbed by the refs he should have gold
Did you see how wasted Serbian guys were on medal ceremony. Check out the videos that were coming out from their party during day. Every video they have a new pint
Fuck your gold medal game…Serbia is the best team and the played vs USA and reffs. Am proud that my team didnt payed reffs…In 4 years we will fuck up all Dream Team hopes and dreams!
And about Avramović…he will play in Russia, he does not like USA and NBA.
Jokić 1st in 4 categories and LeMoron is MVP!? BULLSHIT!
👍
American athletes are doped, we must not forget that!! These are the facts, but everyone is silent …
Jokic > kevin durant all time
Fun Fact: (You can find these statistics online) The number of professional basketball players by country: Slovenia – 500 players, Croatia – 800, Germany – 1,500, Serbia – 2,000, France – 2,000, USA – 9,000. Can you imagine how much harder it is to find top-level players from a pool of just 500 to 2,000 people compared to 9,000? Yet, Slovenia is the European champion, and the entire country has only 1.5 million people (about the size of a single neighborhood in the USA). In Germany, basketball is only the fourth most popular sport, and they are largely indifferent to it, yet they are world champions. Serbia, with a population of 9 million, has won the European championship three times, the world championship twice, and has been the Olympic runner-up twice. By the way across all of Europe, soccer is the number one sport by a wide margin, with basketball being the second or third most popular sport depending on the country.,
The bronze 🏅 medal of Serbia looks somehow more golden the gold 🥇 medal of team USA. The referees stole gold from Serbia in the semifinals. Greetings from Greece!
Gold medal game was mid, so many turnovers, so many missed free points (lay ups, easy transition points)
multiple referee's intentional fouls to the detriment of one team are NOT PART of a normal basketball game, not hitting shots, and and score points, making mistakes and having correct moves are part of every normal basketball game, do you understand the difference, the conclusion- or the person does not understand basketball elementary, or is intentionally blind-read hypocritical, end of story
"soft nation, crying about the refs (sure they made some bad calls)"
there is a difference, making a few referee mistakes to the detriment of both teams is acceptable, the difference is when it is obviously intentional to the detriment of one team, to emphasize the obvious, to emphasize the truth you call soft and cry, that is your argument on the obvious and to the truth, we call it true reality and pride, and your willful blindness if you are not simply stupid, and I assume you are not, we call it hypocrisy, willful blindness, that is already a shame, that is really soft and cry
pumping up a false ego is part of the American basketball culture, being arrogant and rude as well, the whole world knows that, it seems to be hypocritical as well, congratulations to the true basketball heroes of Serbia, the team that showed that they play the best basketball in the world, we broke the false myth about their untouchability, bronze does not shine like gold, bronze is true gold, and we are "soft, we cry too", and that is why we are the best basketball team in the world
Are you aware of who refereed the semi-final between Serbia and the USA?
There was a referee from Tuzla (Bosnia and Herzegovina), he doesn't even referee the ABA league, but their bad Bosnian league, and the other referee is even worse, some guy from Panama.
We counted as many as 40 refereeing mistakes against Serbia (meaning 1 refereeing mistake per 1 minute).
If the refereeing was fair, Serbia would have won the USA by at least 12 points, so remember only those 3 steps by Embidi that were not refereed and Jokic, as the best player in the world, had only 4 free throws and the ball was non-stop in his hands and the other player Bogdanovic made only one or two free throws, so it's really a shame. Milutinov was injured as well as Jovic, Davidovac, we played with only 8-9 players the whole game and despite everything we were leading until the last 2 minutes…
Shameful refereeing, we were better than Team USA, but what to do when someone rigged the cards…
Stephen F-in Curry -Why be a King when You can be a God
As serbian suporting Nuggets and you guys, congratulations on gold. Great tournament. SF game was classic.
Now I would like you to make a podcast of all coloradians in olympics
Pitanje za moje sunarodnike. Ovaj podkast su napravili ljudi SAD. Hvale i slave Jokica i tim Srbije dugo, dugo vremena. Zar moramo da pokažemo najgore od sebe ovde?
Why you are saying talent for Curry, Durant, Lebron…in Serbia you are talent until 21, after that you are either good player or wasted talent.
Listening to this podcast you’d have no idea that women compete in the Olympics too. “The Olympics are over” meanwhile the actual greatest basketball dynasty of all time in the USA women’s team has a gold medal game the next morning. It’s either ignorance or laziness but either way I wish this podcast would do better.
Jokic lead the Olympics in assist per game, total assist, rebounds per game, and efficiency. Damn lol and I’m a Lakers fan.
Yea Serbians and Nuggets fans deserve each other. Cause you’ll both lame af. And the dog whistling you’ll doing is gross smh.
I agree with all the talk about y’all cheering for Jokic. I’ll add that I think it may be the first time a player as good as Jokic who is the best player on his team that isn’t American. Pau was obviously second fiddle to Kobe. Parker was second fiddle to Duncan. The rest haven’t had supporting cast to be competitive. I think this divide will only increase in 2028 with more dominant non us players.
