“It’s Controversial”: Serbia’s Hit-man Goes Viral with Blunt Criticism About Referees Controversial Call after Loss to Taem USA…

Serbia’s men’s basketball team captain, Bogdan Bogdanovic, stirred controversy on Thursday when he claimed that Team USA received undue assistance from the referees during their Olympic semifinal matchup at Bercy Arena in Paris, France.

Team USA overcame a 17-point deficit to defeat Serbia 95-91, securing their spot in the men’s basketball final at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Despite a valiant effort, Serbia fell short, with Bogdanovic questioning the fairness of the officiating in the aftermath.

Speaking to reporters after the game, Bogdanovic suggested that the Americans received favorable calls from the referees, a luxury he felt Serbia was denied. His remarks quickly went viral, sparking debate among fans and analysts alike.

Bogdanovic, who scored 20 points on 8-of-18 shooting, led the charge for Serbia. However, Team USA’s overwhelming firepower, particularly from Steph Curry, proved too much for the Serbians to handle. Curry delivered a masterful performance, scoring 36 points and hitting nine three-pointers. His final three-pointer, with 2:24 remaining, gave Team USA an 87-86 lead they never relinquished.

Some fans believe Bogdanovic might have inadvertently fueled Team USA’s comeback. The Serbian guard found himself at the center of what many consider a pivotal moment late in the first half, which some argue turned the tide in favor of the Americans.

As the debate over the officiating continues, Bogdanovic’s comments have added a layer of controversy to what was already an intense and closely contested game.
