Nikola Jokic and Giannis Antetokounmpo, the winners of each of the last four Most Valuable Player trophies, faced off against each other Tuesday.
Jokic represented Serbia while Antetokounmpo represented Greece in the 2023 FIBA World Cup Qualifiers. Based on the seeding, however, it was a must-win game for Serbia. Fortunately for Jokic, the game was in Belgrade at Stark Arena in Serbia, which gave them a massive home-court advantage.
