The field sizes are smaller. The tall one can be in the picture. It was a new … old experience. I haven’t played for a long time. national team,” said Jokic.

When asked if the NBA is more difficult, the Serbian basketball player replied: “Harder? Yes, because I think you really need to think fast.
