If you are wondering who is the guy in front of Jokić, it’s understandable you have full right. It’s this guy

    The other guy is Radivoj Korać, another Sombor native, the first Serbian basketball legend and one of the best European basketball players ever. In 1956, he scored 99 points in a game on 44 FG, and sat the last 6 minutes of the game.

    Appearing on a TV show, he was asked how many free throws he could hit out of 100, and he answered that he could do 70, maybe 80. They pulled a curtain and revealed a basket, on which he proceeded to sink all 100 free throws, which he shot granny-style during his whole career.

    He tragically passed away in a car accident at the age of 30.

    An incredible story of the early days of basketball in Serbia and an interesting coincidence(?) that two of the best Serbian basketball players ever hail from the same small town.
