We consider Nikola Jokic from Serbia as the best player in the nba right now.

Nikola Jovic is still a very young player who has high potential. He already showed glimpsed of it.

But do you know Serbia have another 2 Nba Big Guard Prospects (Named Nikola)

Who are they?

Nikola Djurisic and Nikola Topic!!!

Both 6'6 - 6'7 Guards!!!!

In the Future Serbia might produce more than 5 Nba Players named Nikola!!!

(Nikola Vucevic and Former Nba Player Nikola Mirotic are from Montenegro. Not Serbia)

Unrelated but it’s not pronounced like Coca Cola is it? Doesn’t sound right

The kola part is pronounced as cola but the o is short and snappy not extended. He's Nikola not Nikoooola

Yeah, if you were to cut the ni off, it'd be pronounced like cola, but the actual pronunciation is more like nick-ola in one sylable. Emphasis is on the k

Topić? Or Đurišić? Neither sound anything like coca cola lol

Vučević and Mitotić are ethnic Serbs. I can't really get into the shitshow but Montenegro is a country with a split identity where half of people identify as Montenegrins and the other half as Serbs. There has been a major push in the past 20 years by Milo Đukanović to create a fabricated nationality and history of Montenegro so he could legitimise his rule independently of Serbs and Serbia.

Watched a couple of Topić games in ABA, he's going to be a real deal. Excited for my Balkan brothers!
