The iconic Larry O'Brien Trophy was showcased this Thursday at the Mozzart Foundation. Alongside the display, a panel took place featuring former NBA stars Vladimir Radmanovic, Nenad Krstic, and Sasha Pavlovic.

It was an engaging Thursday at the Mozzart Foundation in Dorcol, where a special panel took place featuring former NBA players Vladimir Radmanovic, Nenad Krstic, and Sasha Pavlovic.

The trio were asked whether they believe Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets can capture an NBA championship ring this season, and opinions were clearly split.

"I'm not entirely sure what Denver's roster looks like this season since I haven't had the chance to watch them, but given Nikola Jokic's individual caliber, I think he always has a shot at winning the NBA championship." – Sasha Pavlovic

Nenad Krstic shared the exact same sentiment, briefly noting his agreement with Pavlovic, while Vladimir Radmanovic held the opposite view.

"I would have to disagree, though not because of Nikola Jokic, but because of the way the team is constructed. Honestly, I highly doubt they have a chance to win the title this year." – Vladimir Radmanovic

Denver recently suffered a 122-110 preseason defeat against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Nikola Jokic wrapped up the contest with five points, six rebounds, and seven assists.
