Nikola Jokic Said The World Team Is Gonna Kick Some U.S. Ass In Rising Stars Game

Nikola Jokic is not an American. He’s Serb. He’s also part of Team World for Friday night’s Rising Stars Game against the proud and wonderful Americans, who will surely thrash this group of foreigners in New Orleans. No one comes on to American soil and beats us at a sport.

Unless it’s soccer. Or hockey. Or tennis, actually. Maybe even baseball now that you mention it. God, are we good at any sports anymore?

But the plucky Jokic told NBATV, “We’re gonna kick their ass.”

How dare you, sir? Look at Jokic in this other clip. He can barely jump!

Our country is in a tumultuous time. America is being torn apart. What should happen in this game is not an American beatdown of Jokic and his group of international stars. There should not be a World Team uprising that results in Frank Kaminsky being beaten up by some Europeans. Let this game serve as a statement for world relations.

Make sure the game is tied with 30 seconds to go. Then, as the clock runs down, all the players on the court lock arms. Same for the players on the benches, who will come together in front of the scorer’s table. They will sway and hum as time runs out, the world and the United States together as one. As equals.

Or let’s have the U.S. team dominate. Who cares about that other stuff? America!
