Jokic hinted at the formation of a European All-Star team, suggesting that alongside himself and Doncic, players like Bogdan Bogdanovic, Dario Saric, and Nikola Vucevic would join the roster. These remarks were made as Jokic geared up for the NBA All-Star game scheduled for Sunday, where he’ll represent the Nuggets as a starter for the Western Conference team.
The prospect of a European All-Star team, spearheaded by talents like Doncic and Jokic, is truly captivating. Jokic’s impressive season, averaging a double-double with 26 points and 12 rebounds per game, aligns well with Doncic’s stellar performance for the Dallas Mavericks, averaging over 34 points per game this season.
NBA enthusiasts will catch a glimpse of this potential lineup during Sunday’s All-Star game, as both Doncic and Jokic secure starting positions for the Western Conference team, alongside stars like LeBron James, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Kevin Durant. Bogdanovic, Saric, and Vucevic may have to wait for future opportunities to secure spots on these coveted rosters.
It remains to be seen if Jokic will formally propose the idea of a European All-Star game to the NBA for future All-Star Weekends, as players continue to offer suggestions on enhancing the festivities, which have evolved significantly over the years.
