Greek team pursuing Jokic; made 'serious' offer

The owner of Panathinaikos Basketball Club in Athens, Greece, has confirmed he made a 'serious' offer to buy three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic out of his contract with the Denver Nuggets for the upcoming season. Although that bid was unsuccessful, the owner believes he can sign Jokic when the star center becomes a free agent next summer. This marks a notable pursuit of one of the NBA's premier players by a European club.
