Nikola Jokic: Maybe we should focus on some other things than the All-Star

If such a U.S. vs. The World All-Star matchup had the traditional 12-man rosters, four more players from the world pool would be needed — and that would mean four fewer American players would get the All-Star nod. “The USA has more talented players than the rest of the world,” said Nikola Jokic, the three-time MVP from Serbia who led Denver to the NBA title in 2023. “Europe and the rest of the world has talented players, I think, but the majority of the players are coming from USA.” -via Associated Press / February 17, 2025
