Serbia on cloud nine after Jokic leads Nuggets to first NBA title

A day after Novak Djokovic won his 23rd Grand Slam title at the French Open, Serbia had another sporting hero to celebrate on Monday when Nikola Jokic was named Most Valuable Player of the NBA Finals after leading the Denver Nuggets to a first championship. Jokic capped a dominating performance by pouring in 28 points and pulling down 16 rebounds as the Nuggets beat the Miami Heat 94-89 at a seething Ball Arena to claim the best-of-seven Finals 4-1.

"It's got to be," smiled Jokic, when asked if this was the golden era for Serbian athletes. "Sport is something in Serbia that put us in front of everybody. Now we have Djokovic, probably the best ever, and now we have an NBA championship. I think it is a very good moment to be a Serbian."
