Nikola Jokić
Kako se zove najbolji igrač u najboljoj ligi u državi koja je iz- mislila košarku? Nikola Jokić je jednoglasno i gotovo sa maksimalnim brojem glasova postao MVP u NBA ligi. Ni- jednom Srbinu pre njega to nije pošlo za rukom, a sigurno je i da neće bar u bliskoj budućnsti. Džoker je odigrao sezo- nu za pamćenje, u kojoj je ređao tripl-dablove kao od šale. Sam je na svojim plećima nosio Denver do polufinala kon- ferencije, ali je na kraju ostao bez goriva. Prosečne Naget- se je transformisao u tim sa šampionskim potencijalom. What’s the name of the best player in the best league in the country that invented basketball? Nikola Jokić became MVP of the NBA unanimously and by collecting almost the maximum number of votes. No Serb has ever achieved such a feat before and certainly won’t do so again anytime soon. The “Joker” played an unforgettable season during which he amassed triple-doubles as if for fun. He singlehandedly carried Denver on his shoulders all the way to the conference semifinals, where he ultimately ran out of fuel. He transformed the average Nuggets into a team with championship potential.
Vaterpolisti Water polo national team Delfini su reprezentacija kakve nema na planeti. Ne što su naši, ali vaterpolisti selektora Dejana Savića su neustraši- va družina koja je sve podredila zlatu u Tokiju. Pamtićemo ih i po oproštaju sedmorice veličanstvenih, koji su dali sve što su imali reprezentaciji, ali i rečima Dušana Mandića, ko- ji je posle pobede nad Grčkom u finalu rekao: „Je l’ hoće ne- ko na vaterpolo?“. Serbia’s “Dolphins” are a national team like no other on the planet. That’s not because they are ours, but the players of head coach Dejan Savić are a fearless fellowship that gave everything for gold in Tokyo. We will also remember them for
Milica Mandić the farewell of the “seven greats”, who gave their all for the national team, but also the words of Dušan Mandić, who said following victory over Greece in the final: Anyone want to play water polo?

Sad možemo da pričamo da smo svi verovali, ali Milica Man- dić zna da na prste može da izbroji saborce koji su bili sigurni da će u Tokiju ponoviti uspeh iz Londona 2012. godine. Naša najuspešnija olimpijka je uzelo zlato na Olimpijskim igrama u trenutku kada se sumnjali da je njena tekvondo karijera go- tova. Jedom šampionka, uvek šampionka! We can now say that we all believed in her, but Milica Mandić knows that she can count on her fingers the “comrades” who were certain that she would repeat her 2012 London success in Tokyo. Our most successful Olympian won Olympic gold at a moment when many suspected that her taekwondo career was already over. Once a champion, always a champion!
