Vlade Divac thinks Nikola Jokic is the best European player ever: ‘The numbers say so’

Finally, in your opinion, what’s the best European starting five of all time? VLADE DIVAC: I’ll start from the end, the center. Let it be Krešo Cosic at center, Nikola Jokic at power forward, Toni Kukoc at small forward, Dražen Petrovic at shooting guard, and Saša Ðordevic at point guard. Wow, that was tough. I’ve named these five, but I have so many other fantastic players in mind. I could easily form three teams, but let’s go with this lineup. Sorry, Dino, but I’m emotionally tied to Krešo. That’s a brutal lineup, but they’re all players from the former Yugoslavia. VLADE DIVAC: Yes, apart from Sabonis, I don’t see who else could fit in. Maybe Tony Parker instead of Ðordevic? VLADE DIVAC: No way. -via Index / September 21, 2024
