Apparently, Paris will enjoy the mastery of another great NBA star... Denver center Nikola Jokić was on the list of Serbian coach Svetislav Pešić for the Olympic Games.

The legendary expert announced the names of 16 players he is counting on for the Games and thus, it seems, removed the dilemmas as to whether the MVP of the strongest basketball league will play for Serbia this summer.

Vasilije Micić and Vladimir Lučić, who were not present at the last Mundobasket, are also returning to the national team of this country, and Aleksej Pokuševski is also on the list, who has not been in any representative action so far.

Pešić decided to invite the following players: Vasilij Micić, Alekseje Pokuševski, Bogdan Bogdanović, Nikola Jović, Nikola Jokić, Vladimir Lučić, Marko Gudurić, Vanja Marinković, Ognjen Dobrić, Filip Petrushev, Nikola Milutinov, Dusan Ristic, Aleksa Avramović, Ognjen Jaramaz, Dejan Davidovac and Uroš Plavšić.

The United States of America arrives at the Paris Games with one of the strongest lineups ever with players like LeBron James, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Jayson Tatum, Anthony Edwards, Joel Embiid...

It is also expected that the other participants will arrive in the strongest squads, so it is clear that the basketball tournament at the Olympic Games will be perhaps the most spectacular competition.
