While Kevin Durant is the leading scorer and rebounder in U.S. Olympic history, Bogdan Bogdanovic became Serbia's all-time leading scorer on Saturday night.
Author of 30 points with a superb 6 of 9 on 3-pointers against South Sudan, the Hawks guard/winger has scored 1,059 career points, in 95 selections, and he surpasses Milos Teodosic's 1,057 points. The podium is completed by the legend Dejan Bodiroga with 1,022 points.
“My teammates found me when I had a hot hand, and I felt good. It was a great match, and a great test before the quarter-finals.” Bogdan Bogdanovic reactedwhich reminds us that the next match against Australia is still “the most important of the tournament” because it then allows you to aim for a medal.
He was very afraid of the Royal Ivey players.
Much more than just a lieutenant for Nikola Jokic, Bogdanovic admits that he feared this surprising South Sudan team. “I was afraid of them. They had a great tournament. What Luol Deng is doing for his country is incredible, and you can see that the work is paying off. They play without fear. They respect their country, they respect everything it represents, and they play as a team.”
Now, it's Australia's turn. “They play fast, they shoot a lot of 3-pointers and there's a lot of talent on this team.” he sums up, about the Boomers where his former teammate Patty Mills plays.
