The FIBA World Cup is reaching the finals. The season has seen a fair amount of tussle and competition. Serbian Underdogs have made their way to the finals by defeating Canada. The game itself was intense, but it was also the off-the-court showdown that was a part of victories and losses in the game. We know the 27-YO NBA star Dillon Brooks for his provocative behavior on the court. It frequently results in confrontations with other players, game officials, and opposing team fans.

Surprise much? He has self-proclaimed himself as the best perimeter defender in basketball. According to some, he is also the best defender in the FIBA. But Jokic?s namesake finally put his journey in FIBA to an end, emerging as a game player. He responded to his provocation in his own style.?

After the victory, he put them on and began to punch the air as if he were a boxer, a moment that was captured on video. Slovenia lost the match but Luka played a game-high 26 points.

Balkas gave a fitting reply in a knockout style

Serbia defeated Canada with 95:86 points. Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic emerged as the player of the game. He made the game-high 28 points.

Nikola Jokic was not playing in the game, and his namesake took on the role. After the game, he imitated Brooks. In front of the locker room door, he faked a few punches, doing the same thing Brooks did after he was sent off against Slovenia.?
