Nikola Jokic described Serbia's loss to Team USA in the Olympic semifinals as probably the biggest defeat of his career.

Reflecting on the match, Jokic noted that his team had a significant chance to win but ultimately fell short.

The game was intense, with Serbia initially leading by eight points before losing 95-91, despite being ahead 76-63 at the start of the fourth quarter.

The turning point came when Stephen Curry hit a decisive three-pointer with 2:24 left in the game.

This loss was particularly painful for the Serbian players, as they must now wait another four years for a chance at Olympic gold.

Despite the disappointment, Jokic and the Serbian national team secured a bronze medal at the 2024 Summer Olympics.

In addition to discussing the loss, Jokic praised his new teammate, Russell Westbrook, highlighting his positive influence on and off the court.

Jokic expressed hope that Westbrook will maintain this positive demeanor throughout the season.

Recently, the Denver Nuggets held their media day, where Jokic humorously noted the repetitive nature of these events over the years.

Looking ahead, the Nuggets are set to play their first preseason game against the Boston Celtics in Abu Dhabi.

The interview where Jokic shared his thoughts was conducted by Mozzart Sport and reported by EuroHoops.net.

As the team looks to the future, concerns arise about competitiveness, with Jokic being 33 and teammate Bogdan Bogdanovic 35 by the time of the 2028 Summer Olympics.
