Milos Teodosic made an assist during Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade's matchup against EA7 Emporio Armani Milan on Thursday, which got millions of views online. After the game, the veteran point guard commented on it.

Teodosic made a one-handed spinning pass across the court from being behind the three-point line to Dejan Davidovac, who was waiting in the corner and later hit a triple after catching the ball that was directed to him.

Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic shared the assist on X, formerly Twitter, joking he wasn't born yet when Milos was making those kinds of passes.

In a post-game interview with Blazo Komnenic from Meridian Sport, Teodosic joked about the play.

"Deki is good under pressure. I wouldn't have spoken to him if he hadn't hit a three-pointer," Teodosic said.

Crvena Zvezda have now won three of the last four matches in the EuroLeague, with the single loss coming against LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne on Tuesday. That defeat still stings Teodosic.

"This victory would've been even greater if we had beaten ASVEL. I still can't get over that loss, even though ASVEL played a great game," he said. "We reacted against Olimpia, and we showed, first of all in defense, that when we get down to it, we can play one of the best defenses in the EuroLeague. It needs to happen in every game because it's the only way to win a series [of games]."

With 9 wins and 12 losses, Crvena Zvezda are currently 13th in the EuroLeague standings, two wins away from the coveted 10th spot that guarantees a spot in the play-in tournament after the regular season.

With 13 matches remaining in the schedule, Teodosic believes everything is in their hands.

"I believe we can [do it], but only if we play like we did against Olimpia," Teodosic said.
