Nikola Vucevic wants to play four more years
Nikola has watched for over a decade how the NBA has evolved, shaped by individuals and ideas… And he has skillfully navigated all the changes and challenges, staying at the top—and he doesn’t intend to stop anytime soon. “I’m aware that I’ve been in the NBA for 13 years, and that the end isn’t far away. I don’t believe I’ll play another 13 years, but I have two more years with Chicago, and after that, I’d like to play two more. I think I can continue at a high level for that long, and after that, we’ll see. I’m not thinking much about it right now. I feel great, I’m enjoying the game, and my sons are becoming a bigger motivation—they’re older now and more aware of what I do, they come to practices and games. I want them to remember that I played and that I was involved in basketball at a high level. I’d like people to remember me for who I was, for my achievements, and not for being past my prime. I want to be the one to say, ‘Thank you,’ when it’s time to go.”Source: Meridian Sports

And what category is Nikola Jokić in? Nikola Vucevic: “Given what he’s already shown, he’s undoubtedly among the best players to ever play. Three MVPs, a championship, stats, All-Stars… His résumé is already brilliant, and he has many years left to play. For sure, when he finishes, he’ll be among the best players in basketball history, maybe even the best center of all time. It’s just a question of how long he wants to play and stay at it. The longer he plays at this level, the deeper the mark he’ll leave, making it hard for someone else to come along and surpass him. He is already the best player in the world right now, and when he finishes, he will be among the greatest of all time.” -via Meridian Sports / August 26, 2024
Nikola Vucevic: “Since Lonzo Ball’s injury, we haven’t been able to achieve the results we could have. It disrupted us a lot. When he played, we were at the top of the East for a while, which maybe wasn’t a realistic result, even though we were playing well, but with him, we would have fought for anything between third and sixth place in the end. The rest of us focus more on scoring: LaVine, DeRozan, and me. He brought us all together, sped up the game, meant a lot on defense, guarding the best players with Caruso… Although his numbers might not have been impressive, he meant a lot to us. We tried with young players, and then we had numerous injuries. Trade talks also affected us, preventing us from achieving the results we thought we could, but when results don’t follow, changes come… DeRozan left, Caruso left, the team got younger, and they wanted to go in a different direction. We’ll see how the season goes, and then decisions will be made based on that.” -via EuroHoops.net / August 25, 2024
