(VIDEO)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Tonight, at the United Center in Chicago, on the occasion of the visit of Nikola Joki\u0107 and the Denver Nuggets, a Serbian Heritage Evening was held, which gathered several thousand Serbs from the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They all came to see the best basketball player in Serbia and the world in action, who, despite his team’s defeat by the home team Bulls, showed his class with another triple-double: 33 points, 12 rebounds and 14 assists, with a phenomenal shooting percentage (15-22).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Nikola, unfortunately, did not show class in followed after the game, when hundreds of Serbian fans, including mostly children, waited for him in vain under the stands, hoping that he would traditionally appear to greet them and take pictures with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, Joki\u0107 lacked a bit of feeling for those who love him the most for a quadruple-double and a complete triumph. Although the hallways of the United Center echoed with “MVP, MVP!”, “We want Jokic” and “Kosovo is Serbia”, only Nikola Vu\u010devi\u0107, the star of the Chicago Bulls and the Montenegro national team, appeared at the agreed meeting, who kindly took the time to greet those who were waiting for him and take pictures with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What a shame!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And Nikola could have really tried, to set aside 10-15 minutes of his time, to witness with his own eyes how the eyes of hundreds of children would light up when they met and got to know their idol and hero. Him. Especially since he doesn’t come to Chicago, a city with so many ardent fans, every day, but ONCE A YEAR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nikola could have, but he didnt. We hope that he will correct the mistake next year. Because of those countless kids who adore him, and who tonight sadly, some of them with tears in their eyes, went home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One detail that slightly spoiled an otherwise wonderful evening in which, before the basketball players, the first to come out onto the center of the court were Serbian folk dancers, young men and women from the “Soko” Folklore Group, who with their skills elicited applause from the Serbian as well as the American audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
