By defeating Serbia, Team USA also got rid of the thorn Nikola Jokic in its side.

A performance that has drawn the wildest comparisons between the Nuggets pivot and a particularly notorious figure of terrorism in the United States.

For 35 minutes, we really thought that Serbia were going to achieve a resounding feat by defeating Team USA.

Imperial in attack as in defense, Svetislav Pesic’s men delivered a performance that was on the verge of perfection… but they ended up being caught out by fouls while on the American side, monsters like Kevin Durant and LeBron James threw their last forces into the battle.

In the end, the reigning Olympic champions did indeed win and will therefore defend their crown against France.

This mainly means that the US have overcome a certain Nikola Jokic… and the least we can say is that this is an almost unmatched feat in the minds of many American fans.

Some are even going very (too) far in the game of comparisons on the pivot.

We are obviously referring here to Osama Bin Laden, former head of Al-Qaeda and responsible for the September 11 attack in New York.

In the eyes of some fans, having (a)beaten Jokic and his team when he had just won his third NBA MVP title would therefore be the equivalent…

They are the only ones to dare to make such comparisons, especially since they have multiplied in the wake and always in the same vein.

Nikola Jokic has been terrorizing the NBA for years and it looks set to continue for a while yet.

As a result, the Serbian giant’s elimination from the 2024 Olympics is giving American fans the same joy as the death of Osama Bin Laden.

A hell of a lot of fun…
