Serbia has a strong and well-established basketball culture and is home to some of the NBA’s biggest stars, including Nikola Jokić, who is a three-time MVP and NBA champion. Other notable players include Bogdan Bogdanović and former players like Vlade Divac and Peja Stojaković.

And now, Nikola Topić. He was included on the Oklahoma City Thunder’s active roster and won the 2025 NBA championship despite not having played a single game in the league yet. Bravo Nikola!
