Novak Djokovic and his fellow competitors have been enjoying their time on the Adria Tour. In Belgrade, the competitors faced off in a friendly game of soccer. This week in Zadar, Croatia, they took to the basketball court. It’s safe to say the tennis players skills are more suited to the pitch, but don’t sleep on Djokovic’s jump shot.

Djokovic recorded a video of his objectively sub-par handles as he drove into the paint before hitting a silky smooth jumper. He called out the world’s greatest basketball player Lebron James for a game of one-on-one.

James was quick to respond.

James gave credit where it was due, as Djokovic’s shooting technique is very efficient.

Earlier this week Djokovic admitted he was unable to dunk a basketball. As the greatest athlete in the world on a tennis court, we are going to add him to our list of players who probably should be able to dunk, but can’t.

Djokovic got off to a hot start on Saturday morning, defeating Pedja Krstin 4-3 (3), 4-1.
