I've been watching Jokic play for Serbia in several tournaments and it's travesty how he is being misused.

You have the best player in the world having to share the ball with all kinds of randos in some kind of smart-ass euro system, thinking they're so good. They're not. Jokic is the only real star they have. The rest are glorified role players.

I can't believe how much of an idiot the coach and the whole Serbia team are when they don't make Jokic run the offense every single time down the court.

In the last FIBA World Cup I was watching, Bogdanovich was running the show too.

Jokic should not play while his teammates and coaches are this arrogant.

He most definitely should play for Serbia.

It's not his fault that Serbia isn't very good at basketball for this type of competition. They might be saving the Jokic reps for when it matters too, these are just exhibitions.

Bottom line is Serbia outside of Jokic sucks in relation to USA. They have an all star team.

Serbia is 10x the team that Germany, Greece, Australia or Slovenia has, but I'd honestly take take those teams to beat the US over Serbia and it's because those teams play to their strengths and their opponent, while Serbia plays as if they're playing Euroleague.

In the last FIBA World Cup Jokic actually did not play. Despite that ,Serbia managed to get silver, while beating the SGA-led Canada in the semis

So the rest of the team is definitely not a bunch of scrubs
