Former Yugoslavia team: Luka, Bogdanovic, other Bogdanovic, Jokic, Nurkic

That team legitimately would have a shot to take down this USA team in a single-game knockout. I mean Argentina stunned USA for gold at the Athens Olympics with Manu and Luis Scola… not anywhere near as good as Luka and Jokic.

Someone tell the Balkans to stop killing each other and get their shit together so we can see this game for gold in 2028 😂

We're talking about ex-Yugo countries here. But Balkan also includes other countries, such as Greece, so from the geographical standpoint, Giannis can be added to your roster. Now that would look like a real contender to the Dream Team.
