Vlatko u010canu010dar is thousands of miles away from his previous professional basketball team, Liga ACB’s San Pablo Burgos. He’s even further from his hometown of Koper in Slovenia. He’s 5,428 miles away to be exact. In u010canu010dar’s NBA rookie campaign, he’s had to adjust from being a top player in Spain to a player fighting to carve a role on the Nuggets while also fitting into a new city and locker room.
One way he’s been able to do that is firing up the gaming console and taking on teammates in “FIFA 20.” He, Nikola Jokiu0107, the Nuggets franchise star, and Juancho Hernangómez, a 2019 FIBA World Cup winner with Spain, have developed a close-knit but testy rivalry in the sport.
