LeBron Reportedly Discussed Plans for a New European League

Serbian super-agent Misko Raznatovic, one of the most powerful figures in European basketball, revealed he recently met with LeBron James on a yacht in Saint-Tropez. Raznatovic says the meeting wasn’t about LeBron teaming up with Nikola Jokic, as many fans speculated, but about plans from a group of investors to create a new European league to compete with the NBA. “They don’t want it to be a U.S. league; they want it to have a European flavor… I got an official role as a consultant. We had a meeting where we talked about how it would be built and what would be done.” While Adam Silver has long pushed the idea of NBA Europe, Raznatovic says LeBron’s group is exploring its own vision. A move like this could shake up the balance of global basketball. #LeBronJames #NBA #EuroLeague #Basketball #FIBA #BasketballHistory #NikolaJokic #Sports

Serbia Lights It Up—106-72 Blowout Over Slovenia Before EuroBasket

Serbia made a statement in their final EuroBasket warm-up, dismantling Slovenia 106-72 with a dominant performance. From the jump, Serbia pulled ahead—leading 64-36 by halftime—and never looked back. Luka Dončić had 17 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists, but struggled from deep (just 2-for-10 on threes), and sat out the fourth as the game was well in hand. On Serbia’s side, Nikola Jović led the charge with 18 points and 7 boards, while Bogdan Bogdanović added 14, and Nikola Jokić chipped in 10 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists in limited minutes. With the Belgrade Arena rocking and Serbia finishing their pre-tournament gallop at a perfect 7-0, they’ve thrown down a serious gauntlet heading into the competition. #EuroBasket2025 #Serbia #Slovenia #LukaDoncic #NikolaJokic #NikolaJovic #Basketball #FIBA #Sports

Carmelo Says Denver Gave Jokic His #15 to “Erase His Legacy” — Here’s Why Jokić Disagrees

On the “7 PM in Brooklyn” podcast, Carmelo Anthony didn’t hold back: he called the Nuggets giving Nikola Jokić jersey No. 15 a “petty maneuver,” designed to “erase what I did there.” But Jokić sees it differently. Speaking with reporters, he explained that he’s been wearing #15 his whole life—long before he reached the NBA. When asked if he knew Melo wore it previously in Denver, he respectfully replied, “Of course, he was a great player.” And there’s even more context: Jokić once revealed that as a kid, he was on the heavier side, and the #15 jersey was simply the largest one available. So he stuck with it. #NBA #Melo #NikolaJokic #Nuggets #NBADebate #JerseyNumbers #Sports
