Serbia celebrates two historic sporting milestones in as many days as Nikola Jokic leads Denver to its first NBA title a day after Novak Djokovic wins a record 23rd Grand Slam.
A day after Novak Djokovic won his 23rd Grand Slam title at the French Open, Serbia had another sporting hero to celebrate on Monday when Nikola Jokic was named NBA Finals Most Valuable Player after leading the Denver Nuggets to a first championship.
“Now we have Djokovic, probably the best ever, and now we have an NBA championship. I think it is a very good moment to be a Serbian.” “I think if you want to be a success you need to be bad, then you need to be good, then when you are good you need to figure it out,” said Jokic, whose trophy case also includes two NBA MVP Awards.
