Q: What say you now Mr. Anti-Jovic? Without Nikola Jovic where would they have been Saturday night? – Eddie.

When Nikola Jovic was drafted into the NBA by the Heat, he had never met Nikola Jokic. A lot has changed since then.

My teammates got me going. It’s as simple as that,” Jovic said, crediting his teammates for his standout night. The only blemish on Jovic’s stat line were his team-high six turnovers. Jovic, 22, is an important part of the Heat’s young core.

Kel’el Ware and Nikola Jovic have been given an impossible mission. They must make “the choice” as to whether they accept the life of an NBA power rotation player.

Widely known for his nonchalant attitude toward the sport, three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic barely, if not at all, talks trash to his NBA opponents — except when it comes to Nikola Jovic. The Miami Heat power forward has been on the receiving end of the superstar's rare smack-talk for many years now.

“We talk about a lot of stuff. He was mad because I signed the extension. He wanted me in Denver,” Jovic joked when asked if he catches up with Jokic during the NBA season. “But, yeah, we talk. Nothing crazy, not much. But we make sure that we stay in touch and we stick by each other because there’s not a lot of us Serbian players around the NBA.”
