Bogdan Bogdanovic finished 3rd in total points at the Olympics.
113 Jokic
111 Wagner, F.
110 Bogdanovic
He also finished T-2nd in total threes (18). He was probably close but did not make FIBA’s All-Star Five (LeBron, Steph, Wembanyama, Jokic, Schroder ) – 6:09 PM

Some thoughts on yesterday’s USA win:
Nothing more fun and exciting in sports than a Steph game
This game had everything. Jokic, incredible shot making, a big potential upset factor, and a remarkable comeback
Noah Eagle is really good (Ian is the 🐐)
I’ve enjoyed D Wade, too – 9:39 AM

Nobody will talk about it (rightfully) but Steph Curry snatching 8 boards — 3 more than Jokic — is pretty wild.

USA was making a push anyway, but finished the final 7:19 (when Embiid came back in) of the game +12.
Cleaned up spacing (Bam/AD combo) on offense and got Jokic off his spot on defense with switching and digging in. Serbia ended a lot of possessions 20+ feet from basket in 4Q. – 5:10 PM

Youre abt to witness Jokic’s most epic dog-walking performance ever. No Nuggets game will compare.
This 4Q inbounding, he will dribble the ball off his foot at least 3 times. Fail to catch it when the ref throws it to him and let it roll into the stands twice. Lots of pointing. – 4:22 PM

Jokic is the constant outlet for any ball pressure Team USA puts on the ball handler, especially when Embiid is playing defense in the lane.

FIBA: ALL-STAR FIVE of #Paris2024 Men’s #Basketball 🔸Dennis Schroeder, Germany 🇩🇪 🔸Stephen Curry, USA 🇺🇸 🔸LeBron James, USA 🇺🇸 🔸Victor Wembanyama, France 🇫🇷 🔸Nikola Jokic, Serbia 🇷🇸 -via Twitter / August 10, 2024
After a semifinal to remember against the USA, the Serbs didn’t want to finish the Paris Olympics without a medal. Plus, they were facing the World Champions Germans who beat them in the final of the FIBA World Cup last September. So the stakes were high, Nikola Jokic and Vasilje Micic who were absent in Manila, played in Paris and the result was an easy 93-83 win. Counting Yugoslavia’s results, this is the second bronze for the Serbs, after 1984, while they have also won four silvers (1968, 1976, 1988, 1996, 2016) and one gold (1980). Nikola Jokic recorded the 5th ever triple-double in the history of the Olympic Games with 19 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists. -via EuroHoops.net / August 10, 2024
Mike Smith: Cheering against Team USA? You mean, like all of those Americans who were making fun of Noah Lyles not winning gold in his latest race? Good ol’ double standards. Kevin Durant: To all you Nuggets fans, nobody gives a fuck who yall lames believe is the best player in the league, players got major respect for Jok, we don’t worship him like yall do but most are in awe of his brilliance. Trolling you cornballs for rooting against us is apart of the game. Deal wit it -via Twitter @KDTrey5 / August 9, 2024
