From tennis to basketball, the Serbs are dominating the sports world in all spheres. Although the former core republic of Yugoslavia has a population of only 6 million people, it has provided tremendous talent to the NBA. One of them is Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic who led his team to its maiden championship.

After Nikola Jokic ended Denver’s 47-year-long drought last season, a viral video of another Serbian player strikes fear into the hearts of the NBA fans. And given the hype around this young gun, many reckon that its a rise of another Nikola in the NBA world.

Nikola Jokic’s impressive feat at the NBA Finals

The 5-time NBA All-Star changed the basketball landscape with his exceptional performance at the 2023 NBA Finals. The Serbian led the Nuggets to a 94-89 victory over the Miami Heat, registering 28 points and 16 rebounds. He broke several records in his wake, including leading the charts for the total points scored, rebounds and assists in a single playoff season. He impacted the game on both ends of the court and deservedly received the Final MVP honours. After his stupendous showing in the NBA Finals, a viral clip from the SuperCup has taken the league by storm.

First Nikola Jokic and now Nikola Topic is here to reign the league. The 6 ft 5 in point guard boasts a remarkable combination of a strong frame and ball-handling ability, making him an adept self-creator on drives. Additionally, he can swiftly change speeds and directions, catching the defenders off-guard.
