nenad 358 Posted May 23, 2019 #242 Share Posted May 23, 2019 So, this is Australia's preliminary squad already announced. Notable NBA players include Simmons, Bogut, Baynes, Dellavedova, Bolden, Ingles, Creek, Mills. Ex-Partizan Jock Landale who had great season with us and is now moving to Žalgiris is also called up, also Brock Motum who played in EL finals with Efes. Dante Exum is absent. Good squad in the toughest group however, Canadian team remains to be seen. https://australia.basketball/blog/2019/05/23/boomers-announce-squad-for-2019-fiba-basketball-world-cup/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant imagine how good they will be this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nenad 358 Posted May 24, 2019 #244 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Jokic will play for Serbia. Huge news which put us squarely as no2 team in the tournament. thepharoah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't watch a lot of NBA (mostly the highlights, at least of every play-off game), but somehow Jokic is one of my favourites mostly because he's such a freaking monster So, this is cool news nenad 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

He's just playing nobody else plays right now at that level. It's insane. He was voted yesterday as first team all-nba. It's incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great news for Serbia ,Jokic is definitely one of the super stars of NBA right now , i think he's the successor of Dirk Nowitzki in the NBA Edited May 24, 2019 by thepharoah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greece would also say they have a certain "Greek Freak" who is quite good. Edited May 24, 2019 by wumo26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is what he was trying to compare. thepharoah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is what he was trying to compare. Jokic is, to be fair, center, but positions are really fluid in NBA nowadays. Though, Jokic plays very much like a power forward, with the assist skills like a point guard. Overall he is a great player, no doubt.
