Why are Serbians so upset with Nikola Jokic? With our Serbian correspondent, Miroslav Cuk

In this episode, Miroslav Cuk tries to explain the complex relationship between Nikola Jokic and his Serbian fans after Jokic's decision to skip the 2021 Olympics. The decision came on the heels of a long two-season run with minimal offseason and the news that Jokic's wife would be giving birth to their first child this summer/fall. Miroslav tries to share the history of Serbian basketball in the Olympics and explain why so many fans are feeling some combination of sadness, anger, or disappointment.The guys also discuss a wide range of topics including Team USA's roster, Chauncey Billups and Becky Hammon making the final round of interviews for the Portland Trail Blazers roster, NBA ratings being up despite the absence of Steph Curry and LeBron James, and the NBA looking at enforcing new rules to prevent some of the most annoying flops and foul hunting in the NBA.
