June 11, 2021June 11, 2021 Staff

Check out this interesting read at EuroHoops.net about how a young Nikola Jokic was overlooked by a club in Belgrade for being fat and no one though the future NBA MVP had any game. From the Eurohoops.net team/ info@eurohoops.net Partizan Belgrade’s former legendary coach Dusko Vujosevic talked about how the club ignored Nikola Jokic back when the current NBA MVP was a youngster because he was considered “fat” and because no one believed in his potential at all.

James Harden ruled out for Game 3

June 9, 2021June 9, 2021 Brandon King

James Harden has logged just one of oncourt action in the Brooklyn Nets Eastern Conference Semifinal playoff series against the Milwaukee Bucks.

This is the same injury that gave him issues toward the end of the regular season and it has already cost Harden Game 2 and it will also, unsurprisingly, keep him out for Game 3 as well. Harden’s passing ability and…
