Nikola Jokic’s Agent Misko Raznatovic Explains NBA Europe and Project B

Nikola Jokic is putting up historic numbers on a 10-game winning streak and the MVP conversation is heating up again. But what does the man who negotiates his contracts actually think about his chances, his future in Denver, and what comes next for the best player in the world?

Misko Raznatovic explains the business reshaping global basketball right now: a potential NBA Europe League, whether it would stop elite European players from coming to the NBA, and a rival league called Project B that may launch by the end of the year.

Then there is the Balkan Five phenomenon at Illinois, which took the Illini to their deepest NCAA tournament run in 20 years without a single player ever visiting campus. Now phones across college basketball are ringing. Who is next, which schools are calling, and is American college basketball now the best pathway to the NBA for European players?
