Balkan history and politics is not an easy thing to grasp and that lead to a great blunder during the broadcast of the game between New Orleans and Denver.

By Eurohoops team/ info@eurohoops.net

The reporter from Denver thinking that she have seen a Serbian flag approached the fan named “Mark” who was sitting behind the bench of Denver. The problem is that the flaf was Croatian and the fan from New Orleans probably wanted to provoke Jokic, considering the fact that no Croatian player was part of the game.

There are reports about the interview that “Mark” gave during which he allegedly called Jokic a “chetnik”, a term used in derogatory manner in the Balkans to describe a Serb.
