Opinions are divided as always, even thought the comments where Jokic's decision not to answer the invitation from Sasa Djordjevic is criticized are prevailing. There are few of them who stood in his defense, and one of them is celebrated Serbian director, Emir Kusturica.
He points out that the Denver ace should not be blamed, who would have to secure himself for the coming period and that is why he has different plans for this summer.
- He has a classical problem, he stepped into the big world with fabulous amounts of money, the question of safety and what he has for himself and where is he going to go. Those accusations are completely irrelevant, because the man is tired, he wants to rest, he has bigger plans. It would be the best if he could work it all out, but since he can't, he shouldn't be blamed, because next year he will be with us again - said Emir Kusturica for Telegraf.
