So you think that this team of Serbia has a chance against the teams of the USA, France, Germany, Canada, etc.? Interesting.
Bearded Joker is a beast
Thats a beard?
@@22s22a it's what he has, what u want him to do? respect
Serbians just built different. They do not get intimidated. As a kid in Norrthwest IN/ Chicago played lots of Serbians and they always came hard, didn't matter how athletic you were.
Appreciate that bro
ayoo
How were they coming again? Lmao
Say that again chuck😂 how were they coming ?
Appreciation from a black Serb my man
While Jokic likes to do a lot of finesse in the post against tall stronger defenders like AD or Gobert, he also has that bully ball he can use when facing a literal stick like Wemby
You forgot him going right thru Rudys chest in playoffs or what he does to Big Val but yeah, he has different ways to beat players.
If they think your crude, go technical; if they think you’re technical, go crude. I’m a very technical boy. So I decided to get as crude as possible.

@@ProjectExMachina That quote is taken from famous samurai Miyamoto Musashi. In his book "The five rings" he says somewhere in the middle of it: Mountain and sea - "When your opponent expects the mountain, give him the sea. When he expects the sea, give him the mountain."

It’s amazing that Jokic can perform like this against two of the strongest defenders in the last decade. Team USA has the star power and I have them as my favorite for Gold, but it will be no easy task
Odd comparison but he's a 6'10 Charles Barkley. Obviously he is more skilled(less athletic) than Barkley(no disrespect) but at their height they outsize(d) players 3-4in taller consistently. It is crazy to think the DPOY is a mismatch to a player of the same position 😂😂😂😂
USA is trash
he shoulda fouled out in the 2nd quarter lol. It's crazy how many times they let him get away with throwing those elbows.
The best defenders will always get trashed, by the best player nba.
@@jameswinslow8540meh, team USA for the absolute win, regardless of any ifs or buts…
As a Nuggets fan watching Jokic absolutely cook 2 of the best defenders in the league makes me proud
its a preparation game... teams are tunning up... you guys are just out here looking for things to talk about...
he says its an exhibition game then it the same sentence he says he can tell the game meant something??... make it make sense. The Olympics are coming up lets just wait for it...
This also makes me happy to see as a wolves fan. No matter how good he is they will not make it past us ever again😉🤣🤣
@@SharkPuppet410 ..didn’t y’all get clapped in the Western Conference finals?
Pipe down lil buddy till they actually make it till the finals. Hope the second round banner looks good in your arena.. oh wait. 😥😂
@_Mista_X while that's a cute comment Nuggets wouldn't even of beat us if Naz and Jaden wasn't out the year they won as we proved this year🥱 Point to my comment is no matter how good Jokic is they will NOT get passed my wolves again🤷♂️
@_Mista_X also we lost to mavs not the nuggets but yeah let's bring another team in thus between know Nuggets not f#ckin the wolves. And we might not be hanging a banner "yet" but will be hanging balls/nuts all over yr favorite team/players heads til we get there. No one on the Nuggets can f#ck with Ant. We are the future while yalk will stay living in the past🤭
is it just me or jokic looks fitter
honestly no. he just looked tired near the end of that wolves series because he the nuggets were not helping him at all.
@@MindAndMythjokic looks fit ngl he has been working out in Serbia
Preparation for Serbian national squad for the Olympics ain't no joke....he does look fitter because he is working hard.....
@@KOAP33jokic looks like he has been sun tanning
He just looks more handsome with the beard
That serbias team chemistry is beautiful
They do. They play off each other so freaking well
Jokic is like Popeye but instead of spinach he gets stronger eating mama’s food back home
Burek brother and cevapi gives you strength
horse food is a serbian strength hack *flies away*
Look up who Avramovic is.... genius defender
I am beyond amped to learn more about these European players.
@@hardwood_yt :) have a look " Ministar odbrane Aleksa Avramovic" .. all the best
Avramović totally locked SGA last year@@hardwood_yt
The bearded Jokic looks like the saints in Orthodox Churches in Russia lol
We are also orthodox dude. He looks like the saints in Orthodox Churches in Serbia
@@bobbob6647 Yes Saints from Serbia and Russia
Man said "It's time we take Serbia seriously", absolute 0 international basketball history knowledge. The dream team was partly made because of back then Yugoslavias dominance. Even after Yugoslavia 5 medals in 7 years, 2 world cups 3 european all gold. As Serbia 2014 world cup silver, 2016 olympics silver, 2017 european silver, 2023 world cup silver. Why do I keep clicking on this stuff.
if you haven't by now realize that Bogy is gooood player
Bogdanovic is always best player on the court when playing for national team
And the knicks let him go😢
@@GreaterSocietythat’s the wrong bogdanovic. The one that’s playing in Serbia plays for the hawks.
In the nba he’s a catch and shoot guy.. for serbia he does it all the time
I didn't know him because its hard for me to watch the NBA outside of the playoffs, but I'm becoming a fan with just this game.
Damn. Jokic is just so amazing. So much skills and smarts (basketball smarts). He made scoring against those 2 look so easy. Which in all honesty isn't easy.
And Serbia is the team of Nicolas :P
Jokic is scary. I think he gained more weight and muscles. damn. that strength
Did finals mvp, league mvp, championship winner, really embarrass a second year player? Gasp 😱😱😱
Yes, yes he did.
Wemby needs to get stronger. Jokic bullied him mercilessly.
20-30lb of muscle just means you gonna be slower, lose some of that that plastic man flexibility that you got and jokic is still gonna push you around.
@@rook1196 Yeah, but he won't be pushed around by others. Forget about Jokic, he will move you regardless. But Wemby needs to bulk up a bit. He will definitely lose a bit of his flexibility, but he will gain so much more in explosiveness and strength. Just look at what happened to Giannis after bulking up. He suddenly became a fucking monster :D
@@filipcorluka3332he has been getting bigger, casual. It doesn’t happen overnight. 😂
He's too tall, if he gets to much weight he's gonna get aot of injuries...
@@martividal4534Exactly, just look at Porzingis. I really love the guy, but being 7 ft 2 he's prone to get injured especially if he would bulk up too much. Looks good but just, not worth it
its good to see international basket ball at this high level team USA use to just wipe the floor with every team now them day is over love to see it
It wasn't exactly like that throughtout history. That's just a sort of belief it was.
Did they stop wiping the floor? We haven't lost gold since 2004, and I'm 2008. we blew teams out. After 2008, look at each roster we sent to the olympics after we sent KD and a whole bunch of stars, look at team usa that played 4 years ago, 22 year old jason tatum was our 2nd best player and we still won, America send young players to the fiba world cup to train them for the Olympics later
I mean last time Bron played was 2008, curry never played befor KD, kawhi ect, thr world caught up in a false narrative, America just haven't been able to get superstars to play in the Olympics, this is really a good bye tour for curry, KD, Bron, we beat canada by 12 without KD and joel fouling out, watch american humble the world, watch they'll be 30pt blow outs again.
Lol,nop
@@jorgovan-ni9kz yea I know that but the point I'm trying to make is that basketball has truly evolved since I've been a fan that's all
their lack of a strong poing is a big flaw for france the number of turnovers was crazy vs serbia
True. The french federation banned their veteran PG Heurtel because hé plays in Russia. 🙄 And watching Franki Nikotina try to do basic PG things like a simple entry pass is an adventure. Their lack of balls handlers is acute.
How France wishes they still have a PG like Parker on the floor with them.
@@JAPSICLE fr Parker would be cooking with 2 seven footers. this high low action against a good team just doesn’t work
What's poing? Do you mean pooing?
we miss TP so bad!
international ball has become so juicy. A couple of days ago it's canada-usa with 2 stacked rosters of nba talent. Then we get the best player in the world going up against the heir-apparent with france-serbia a couple days later. We're spoiled right now. It's gonna be a really great Olympics
yes it is!
Doncic was laughing about the Gobert defense
Joker in his prime it’s finna be scary these next couple years
Jokic is a master of his craft...
I will never get tired of seeing the patented Jokic step back 😂
Wemby has become stronger, working out with Wes Watson will help his attributes
Wemby gold era is 2030-2034, and Joker era is 2021-2025
@Loyall-D2please tell us more of your studies at Harvard and Yale for sports medical science
I don't know who's overlooking Team Serbia, with most bookies they're 3rd favourites for gold behind only Team USA and Canada.
Americans do. Everyone else knows whats up.
Serbia is light work. This USA team is yhe greatest basketball team ever assembled in the modern era@@inquisitive6786
nope we are 4th ranked
You answered your own question, Serbia should either be #1 or #2 favourite for Gold
@@davidjr4903 Lol nah USA is destined for the gold. Canada is 100% #2
Jokic looks great💪🏼
We need a Balcan( Serbia, Greece, Slovenia, Croatia etc.)dream team vs Usa team
Luka, Bogdan, Avdija, Freak and Joker, not bad at all
Wendy is still young and learning the game. Playing under Pops he'll become one of the best bigs the game has ever seen.
Joker looks insanly feet, better then ever, in the zone. Interesting to see Serbia further down the road
What do you mean insanly feet? 😅
9:51 Giannis carried the team😂😂 did you even watch the oqt Nick Calathes carried the team and in the final against Croatia Greece played better without Giannis on the court
Always gotta give Gianni's diversity standards since he's been passed up by Luka joker and got his coach fired. New LeBron
Giannis, just as Wemby, struggles with the paint being clogged due to different rules and smaller court.
Jokic and Luka don't, they are WAY SMARTER, and talented.
@@rockysalvatore435 i am not questioning Giannis abilities but honestly he wasnt the best player in the Greek team
So how come both of them got embarrassed in the playoffs last year? @Woody13woodpecker
@@1212rusty who got embarrassed? Jokic and Luka?
Your question makes me wonder did you even watch the games?
Emotional response such as yours are just telling me:
1. You don't watch basketball
2. You don't understand basketball
3. You act emotionally, which tells me that you're either a child, or you were brought up around only women, thus emotions prevail over reason and logic
4. Your nick is suiting your brain power
Work on that...
Fastest I've seen Jokic move! He's on a mission this coming season
Joker looking for revenge after losing to the wolves
Now imagine if 🃏 was allowed to be physical like past bigs in post
The pic of Rudy TipToeing and Victor slouching and bending his knees 🤣😂
@@itsadge lmaooooo
Gobert on his tippy toes for the team pic 💀
lol they are hilarious
Saying Wemby or Gobert are better than Anthony Davis on defense just shows how most people just listen to media narratives and have no idea how to analyze tape
No way people actually watched games to come to this conclusion. Anthony Davis just had the best defensive season anyone ever has in the history of the game and as a hoops fan, its annoying how people's objectivity is blinded by LeMedia having to destroy all his teammates
Honestly I was thinking the same as I watch this video.
@@mark120371 Exactly. Gobert was surrounded by great defenders while Davis was the only plus defender in the starting lineup. Reeves is aight maybe slightly above average from what ive seen
Davis carried that defense while Minnesota often had a *better* defense when Gobert hit the bench. Davis can often guard the pick and roll *by himself* and is an all around better perimeter defender
Id argue Davis is a better shot blocker and rin protector due to his length combined with his quickness.
Wemby is a better defender than AD in just about every metric of defense and is the best defender in the league, 100%. Jokic specifically has Wemby’s number until Wemby can bulk up enough to withstand and counter the physicality
the favourites are usa and serbia, canada doesn't have bigs, france doesn't have guards, germany/greece look good but I don't see them beating serbia or the us
10:17 You show Juanzo Hernagomez with his NBA jersey like that he is the greatest achievement olaying in the NBA he just became Eurleague champion also where is lorenzo Brown who plays for spain only mention for the Nba he is a key player for the team and he almost singlehandedly eliminated the Euroleague champions in the playoffs
Can’t wait until the US plays these teams
Why when you mention only nba players Matias Lesort was on the court
Gobert tiptoe and Wemby soft crouch to look taller than Wemby is pretty funny 😂
Jabbar,Shaq,Olajuwon,
Chamberlain,Russell,Nate Thurmond,etc would make mincemeat of the joker in their primes.
Don't underestimate Serbia's Euroleague players, they are better than you think and can definitely play on the same court as the NBA guys. Same goes for Germany, France etc. Lessort is better than Coulibaly right now for example.
My favorite part about the joker. I never watch him and say to myself that's lazy offense.
@TheRealMRGG85 do you ever say, that’s lazy defense?
Wow international basketball is so much more competative. Defense actually exists.
Clown
Jokic really wanted to beat Wemby
He doesn't care about little Vicky. He's going all out for Serbia. It's his blood
@@rockysalvatore435 That "little Vicky" will soon own the league to your heart's agony
Would you piss on your country flag?
@@rockysalvatore435wemby destroyed him last game in the nba dont forget
@@micahjohnson138 Never happened...
One crazy fact is that Doncic is also eligible to play for Serbia because he has Serbian citizenship too cuz of his father but sadly I doubt we will ever see them playing together. But it would be amazing to see it happen for sure.
Dreaming
Euro players know about each other at 13. They knew this matchup was coming eventually
Jokic scored 20 points and 6 of those were on Wemby.
He actually scored 8 on Victor
10:23 Where is Mattias Lessort The best Euroleague Center or Yabusele😢
I am not a euro guy you’re gonna have to educate me on these guys!!! 🤣
Viewing the Olympics through an NBA lens but excited to learn more about these other guys too!
@@hardwood_yt I left a lot of comments on this video where i mention about other euroleague players take a look on them
@@hardwood_yt9:51 that's cute. Just don't say stupid things like Gianni's carried when it was Nick. Don't say fake info like you're adding something when it's clearly not true
😂😂😂
@@rockysalvatore435 Finally one guy who realised Calathes was the best player
Finally, the summer has quality basketball again
jokics can switch role every nicely. in denver hes all around but here he knows what the team wants which is to be a traditional center, rebounding and bringing pressure to frances bigmen
Only Jokic can do that? Like we didn't see embiid do the samething to wemby.
It was third prep game for Serbia. We played against Netherland two times before game against France, but those games were played behind close doors
So you're telling me Serbia has a Nikola Jokic, Nikola Jovic, and Nikola Topic??
4:55 noticed wemby bending his knees to make himself look shorter next to Gobert lmao
I am Jokic fan but this is what's wrong with world today. Why loosing is considered embarrassing. You win some you loose some. There is no shame in that. Running away from the fight was shameful but today loosing after fair fight is considered shameful and embarrassing.
wemby will be just fine! Jokic bullied him but he will learn. It was not a fair fight though Jokic completely had his way. I expect Wemby to come back if they play in the Olympics
@@hardwood_ytyou’re corny
This man dont know basketball blat all. Calling rudy a defensive player is disrespectful. He just got exposed in thr playoffs lmfao
overlooking Puerto Rico.. our boy Tremont Waters a bucketgetter fr its criminal he hasn’t gotten an nba contract
I remember seeing jokic do a crazy and 1 on 3 defenders or 4 whatever it was
6:47 wipes his ass then tries to shake hands
Takes 2 Defensive Bigs to even have a chance against Joker..... AND FRANCE STILL LOST.
He look like he just walked out the pub and ready to school some kids
Kenny Lofton pushed Wemby around in U19 play just like this.
can people wake up and take it easy on Wemby? the kid only just had his first NBA season having nowhere near the amount of experience that veterans such as Jokic have and already has so many high expectations of Wemby.
Zubac can even post wemby these heavy bodies trouble players with a lot of muscle we saw zibac posting and scoring on gianni in oqt finals
I've always thought Wemby is too light to really dominate - he needs to hang out with Zion and learn about his diet habits! Embiid put 70 points on Wemby in their first matchup, but he doesn't seem to think being super skinny is a problem.
Bruh ain’t nobody in the world built like Zion. He’s a Mack truck even when he’s in shape. Some guys can’t eat enough consistently which is all it comes down too. Don’t matter how many weights you lift if you’re not eating a healthy 6k-8k calories a day at that size.
@@jasonhoppe781 yeah i agree - i'm thinking someone like Kevin Garnett's body could be something he could aspire to in a few years. If he doesn't he's going to be continually bullied by the big boys in the NBA
Learn from Zion?

@@vlada ha ha hell no just on diet matters only!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Jokic is well rested body and mind. He’s too experienced for Wemby and Rudy to contain a fresh Joker
Idc how great of a defender wemby is. You cant beat physics.
Wembanyama was sick a few days ago. Nothing bad here.
Serbia plays with USA which means if we dont fall off along the way we cant play against USA again until Final. It would be great to play Srb-USA final match and who ever wins wins. But every match after group phase is elimination match so one slip up and ur out.
Not sure about that...
The rules have been changed, there's some redraw taking place after the group stage.
My opinion is that the FIBA will do their best to make France progress as far as possible.
@@Woody13woodpeckerrules have changed only on who plays who after group stage. After that winner moves on, loser goes home.
Excellent video. Frankie Smokes vaguely in da house lol 😂 ps In other news, Jokic is a total UNIT not to mention blessed with the skills of s god lol.
Jokic was extra motivated after Wemby and the Spurs stopped the Nuggets from getting the number 1 seed in the West. Which ultimately lead to the Nuggets demise to the Wolves
Incredible Joker! 🇷🇸
Why is Wendy hunching over and gobert on his toes in that picture lmao they goofy
Jokic up there with Lebron, Bird as the most versatile players in basketball history.
i honestly thought jokic was porzingis with that beard
That picture showed Rudy on his tiptoes lol
Crazy how Wemby is bending slightly and Gobert is on his toes @ 4:59
They probably trying to troll
what the point of defense when the "2 best defensive players in the world" cant stop 1 guy out of shape
If the Yugos still had one team, it would be over. Luka+Nikola+Bogdanović and a bunch of NBA role players would steamroll USA
as a Serb i love my team, would love a gold in Paris with Jokic leading the team, but on the other side im realistic, still no body can beat motivated US team. Watched Tatum and Ant cook Canada while Embid was lost in time and space and Bron turning it over, US is just too versatile and skilled in every position. Everyone who gets the ball can shoot and u can say it was a right choice to shot.
I'm shocked that the best player in the world is better than a teenager.
serbia consistently ends top 4 in tournaments WITHOUT jokic (arguably the best player in the world), so yeah id say this is expected.
who is arguing?perk and shaq
In the 2nd quarter Wembanyama was guarded by Nikola Milutinov. Also, Serbia kept France below 70 points. The defence is Serbia's main strength.
Wemby will learn he should’ve took a charge on that one play but Jokic did what he does
Wemby getting straight up bodied out there.
Ben simmons not playing for Australia again?
Of course not...stopped playing years ago, after the youth level tourneys.
Jokic has a lot to do with it, but this is also a remembrance of the fact that Serbia is a top basketball nation in general.
Team usa is stacked I can't see them losing
you state the obvious this whole video, i don’t even think you rlly know hoops
also his name is Dellavedova not Delladova😭
Jokic played well and his team won so that’s all that matters but saying he ‘cooked’ them is a stretch. Jokic is a beast, wish he was on my team. 🤘
A: Canada, Spain
B: France, Germany
C: Serbia, USA
Why i no one talking about Wembys coordination. Wtf is that?!
So Wemby gets a pass only averaging 5 rebs?
Nobody and mean NOBODY is worried about being on the floor with Rudy Gobert
Did we forget embiid dropping 70 on wemby? He needs to add his grown man weight
Giannis Antetokounmpo 2014 performance vs Philippines during 2014 he only score 3pts in 14 min on tge field
But I don’t understand why they keep not feeding Wemby
