    Big Honey can’t win with these cats

  2. gridironk

    Jokic and Giannis supporting casts are horseshit

  3. jimmylamstudio

    Hey it’s like Denver but global

  4. Ifinishfast42

    Death, taxes, and godly Jokic impact metrics.

    Brother is playing 40 minutes if they meet in the finals

  6. OffTheBar2017

    Not just their bench. Look at the +- for literally every other player that played minutes.

  7. Speed_Bump

    And he was acting as coach when he was on the sideline

  8. AwkwardSpecialist814

    I love watching the nuggets all year long!

  9. Zylionx

    Every player that played for Serbia has a minus +/- beside Jokic

  10. jumboponcho

    Serbia has ZERO rim pressure, Bogies gonna have to be great if they’re gonna get silver

  11. His stats jump higher off the page than Jokic ever does on the court. Single game +/- and on/off aren’t great, but dude is a career busdriver.

  12. Multi_21_Seb_RBR

    Honestly kind of why I am not high on Serbia, Greece and (kinda) France while I am higher on Canada, Australia and to an extent Germany.

  13. Mundane-Guest8404

    Explains Jamal Murray. Jokic could play with a ripped up McDonalds bag and be competitive 

  14. WolverineLong1430

    As I’ve said, other teams besides USA lack depth. Their bench against USA is miles apart.

  15. Stormeve

    More Jokic +/- manipulation by the Michael Malone deepstate

  16. ShakesbeerMe

    Still the best player in the world.

  17. TheAgeOfTomfoolery

    This man may never have a good teammate ever

  18. Ee_bagg

    How many open shots did jokic it’s create that didn’t go?

  19. I said it to the boys, if Joker was able to play ~~48~~ 40 mins without exhaustion (think 2k sliders) USA might’ve been in trouble.

  20. Fun_Blackberry7059

    Giannis and Jokic, being let down by their teams.

  21. makashiII_93

    Jokic really may be the best player on the planet.

    Nuggets or International ball, his teammates can’t help him out. Worked out in the US’ favor today but it’s still kind of a shame.

  22. godofhammers3000

    It’s not a generational fail by Serbia’s bench just that Jokic is a generational player

    Expecting the Serbian bench to be serviceable against the US is an incredibly high bar lol

  23. Bafiluso

    “Alright guys, none of their starters are in. Unfortunately, it’s the US, so their bench is still comprised of elite NBA players.”

  24. illzkla

    Serbia : *a country smaller than South Carolina playing basketball against team USA (invented basketball) who has an all-NBA bench squad*

    Some fucking guy u/OctopusNation2024 :

    >Generational fail by the Serbian bench lol

    Holy shit y’all stop the hate wtf are these narratives

  25. Jokic gets South Sudan citizenship and they win the gold.

  26. Not_A_Meme

    That’s like when Lebron was off the court for the 2018 Cavs

  27. No_Roof_1910

    As good as Jokic is, he’s still underrated.

  28. physics223

    Still the MVP. I just hope Denver’s bench gets better.

  29. arpikusz

    It was a bit like Space Jam. The Serbians had the confidence of the Looney Tunes and the USA teams where the alien monsters. Jokic was the one pulling the team together.
