BOGOLJUB MARKOVIĆ AND JOVANA POPOVIĆ LEFT A STRONG IMPRESSION AT THE NIKE HOOP SUMMIT

Another edition of the traditional Nike Hoop Summit game was held in Portland, bringing together the top basketball talents from around the world. Mega Superbet once again had its representatives in Bogoljub Marković and Jovana Popović.

The American teams were more successful on the night, claiming victories in both games. In the men’s competition, Team USA defeated the World Select Team 124–114 after overtime.

Mega’s rising star Bogoljub Marković delivered an excellent performance, recording a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds, and stood out as one of the best players on the World Team.

This was the first game in Nike Hoop Summit history to go into overtime, dating back to the event’s inception in 1995.

Interesting, Marković is the 16th basketball player from Serbia who was part of the World team that faced off against the best young players from the USA, and the third from the ranks of Mega.

Before him, Nikola Jokić and Kostja Mušidi participated in the Nike Summit, and once upon a time, the current general manager of Mega, Goran Ćakić, also took part.

The list is completed by: Jovo Stanojević, Igor Rakočević, Vladimir Radmanović, Luka Bogdanović, Dragan Labović, Milenko Tepić, Boban Marjanović, Milan Mačvan, Dejan Musli, Aleksandar Cvetković, Stefan Peno, Boriša Simanić, and Marko Pecarski.

In the women’s game, Team USA defeated the World Team 90–78. Jovana Popović also had a strong showing, finishing in double figures with 11 points. Playing at the point guard position, she impressed with her control of the game and versatility, which was highlighted by USA head coach Dan Rolfs.
