Jokic announced that the Denver team would also come to Sombor.

"I think that would be great. The Nuggets in Serbia have a lot of fans, people love basketball. It would be a good show,” said the Serbian big man.

Recently, Zeljko Obradovic said that Jokic watched his seminar. The Joker confirmed that he did attend the seminar of Partizan's head coach.

"I don't watch a lot of seminars, but I like to look them up. I was watching Obradovic and a couple of other coaches, such as Dusan Alimpijevic, who's now coaching Besiktas," Jokic told Adam Mares.

"I watched Igor Kokoskov, who is in Atlanta now. I watched a couple of seminars. If you want to be good, you need to be a fanatic in basketball; that needs to be your life, and I like to see something different; why not?"
