Bogdanovic, a key figure in Serbia’s basketball team, noted the challenge of facing Team USA. The loss to Germany in the World Cup final was devastating, but the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris will provide another opportunity to compete for a gold medal. The defeat in Manila last summer was the fifth silver for Serbia in major competitions since gaining independence. Bogdanovic expressed his desire to compete against Team USA, stating that it would be a career achievement due to their unparalleled success in the basketball world.
