After averaging 17.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in the four games he played, to go along with 23 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists in the championship game against Puerto Rico, Nikola Jokic was rightly named MVP of the Belgrade FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament. The 21 year old center definitely looked the part of ascendant superstar as he beasted guys with significantly more experience than him.
Now, we can relive his performance in all its glory!
