Nikola Jokic Superbly Leads Serbia to Conquer a Historical Medal at 2024 Paris Olympics

It was such a misfortune Serbia had to play against the United States before the final as Nikola Jokic deserved to play it and Serbia is a better team than Germany and France but above all given the outstanding performance by Nikola Jokic against Australia. 

But also Serbia was on the verge of defeating the USA comprised of big NBA stars and deemed even better than the first Dream Team that played Barcelona Olympic Games in 1992.

Indeed, Serbia was leading the USA by 17 points and winning the whole game until two minutes before the final. Had Serbian players been a little bit more successful in the last 3 minutes Serbia would have beaten the USA as they were leading the famous American team for 7 points when only 5 minutes were remaining something that nobody had expected.

Yet, we ought to talk with regards to Jokic's performance against Australia in the overtime. These 5 minutes by Nikola Jokic were so outstanding he achieved 3 steals, one assist and above all he scored four overly complicated points to defeat Australia at the quarterfinals in overtime.

The battle for the bronze medal was also the rematch between the two main contenders at last year's World Cup final that made Germany to be crowned but last year Serbia did not have some key players such as Nikola Jokic.

This time though unlike last year, Serbia won easily as the Serbians were winning the whole game. What is more, Nikola Jokic got a triple-double and also his second Olympic medal after a silver one in 2016
