Both athletes' paths crossed on Tuesday night when a multi-thousand Belgrade crowd celebrated Serbia's second-place finish in the FIBA World Cup and the 24th Grand Slam title of Djokovic.

Avramovic took a moment to share his thoughts with SportKlub during a live broadcast of Wednesday's Partizan-Fuenlabrada friendly basketball game.

He expressed his genuine joy at his recent conversation with the Serbian tennis maestro.

Avramovic showered praise on Djokovic. In basketball player's eyes, Djokovic ranks among the very best athletes in history, alongside legendary figures like Michael Jordan and Muhammad Ali.

"He's a phenomenon that exudes charisma," Avramovic said of Nole. "We didn't talk about anything special that would intrigue you but about regular topics. I congratulated him on his great success and the way he represents our people and country.

"In my opinion, he is one of the best athletes ever, along with Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali... He's becoming a legend, and I wish him all the best in everything."
