Some of Europe’s finest are enjoying their downtime in the NBA bubble.
Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic posted a group picture Thursday of him and his fellow Balkan stars sitting down for a meal at the Walt Disney World campus. In the picture along with Dragic were Dallas Mavericks players Boban Marjanovic and Luka Doncic, Denver Nuggets teammates Nikola Jokic and Vlatko Cancar, and Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic.
Dragic, Doncic and Cancar hail from Slovenia. Meanwhile, Marjanovic and Jokic are from Serbia while Vucevic is from Montenegro. Kyle Goon of the OC Register adds that the crew (along with fellow Balkans Jusuf Nurkic of the Portland Trail Blazers and Ivica Zubac of the L.A. Clippers) has been hanging out together and singing loudly into the night.
Some of those players have spoken about how the NBA playoffs are rather different from the playoffs in Europe. Through the company that they keep, though, they can probably make it feel just like home.
