What was Dusan Vlahovic’s message to Nikola Jokic after winning the Italian Cup and scoring for Juventus?
The Serbian striker brought Juventus the trophy with a goal in the final, and after the match, he used the chance to salute the best NBA player of today.
Last night, Serbian soccer player Dušan Vlahović scored the winning goal for his football club, Juventus, in the final of the Italian Cup, securing the trophy for his team. After the match, he took the opportunity to praise his fellow countryman, Nikola Jokić, who is considered the best basketball player of today.
This victory was particularly special for former Partizan and Fiorentina player Vlahović as it marked his first trophy with Juventus. During an interview with the American CBS network, he didn’t miss the chance to wish good luck to the newly crowned NBA MVP for his upcoming sixth matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

“I would like to send a message to Jokić. We’re hoping he’s going to win the sixth game and go to the semifinals against Dallas. Or Oklahoma,” said Vlahovic.
Nikola Jokić's Denver and Luka Doncic’s Dallas are both 3-2 against Minnesota and Oklahoma and are one win away from potentially meeting in the Western Conference finals.
