The Denver Nuggets-Phoenix Suns game produced a rare scene in American basketball that involved a Serbian player, a team owner and a famous former basketball player.
In the second period, one of the Suns players ended up in the spectators trying to catch the ball that was going out of bounds. The ball ended up in the hands of a spectator in the first row.
That’s when Serbian Nikola Jokic, of the Denver Nuggets, decided he was the one to get the ball. He tried to force it out of the hands of the fan, who happened to be Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia himself.
After taking it by force, he also elbowed the owner. At that moment, one of the legends of the NBA, Isaiah Thomas, intervened, who grabbed the Serbian basketball player by the shirt.From all this, Nikola Jokic escaped only with a technical foul.
