After fierce provocations on social networks between the Jokic and Morris brothers, all because of Nikola Jokic's clash with Markieff Morris, Darko Milicic, a former NBA player and a friend of Strahinja and Nemanja Jokic, also spoke out.

Milicic described for Mozzartsport what the "frowning" and the player's calling each other out looks like in the NBA:

"God forbid the Jokics get hold of the Morris brothers. There are no calculations with them," he added and continued:

"The NBA is a show. We can say whatever we want, where we come from... The story they are trying to serve that everyone's a gangster, can't pass even among small children. All players are accomplished and earn at least a sufficient amount. All that show (around fights) comes down to 'I get to you, you get to me," the frowning...

Those quasi-street threats are stereotypical. They meant nothing to me. It's not that I'm above it all, but I never had a desire for showdowns. Nikola turned out to be naive, he visibly pushed him. A small percentage of players are ready for a showdown. You turn out to be naive if you fall for it, in front of everyone. You turn out to be the culprit, regardless of the circumstances under which it happened."

Finally, Milicic compared Jokic to Djokovic, who is constantly the target of media provocations.

"What else could Nikola expect when he came to America, which has hundreds of millions, from a small country that does not have even 6 million people? He comes, dominates and bullies them, basketball-wise, becomes the best in the world? Similar to Djokovic. You will surely become the target for some people and bother them," said Milicic.
