Did you know Curry, Bogut and Jokic played at FIBA U19 Basketball World Cup? - FIBA U19 Basketball World Cup 2017 - FIBA.basketball

He spoke about the time when Serbia’s U19 team became champions, playing against the US in the final in Novi Sad, and then he also spoke about Nikola Jokic.

“I played in the U19 team in 2007. We beat them in pool play and they beat us in the gold medal game. Then we beat them in 2014 in Spain during the World Championship there. A lot of history. Obviously, Jokic and what he’s been able to do in his NBA career playing against him. Bogdanovic, I know…

Plenty of familiarity, then. I’m not sure how it will feel to play against them in this situation. It will be difficult to overcome, but all we can do is concentrate on what we do best, Curry added.

The United States has been paired with Serbia, Puerto Rico, and South Sudan in the Olympic Games group stage.
