Stefan Joksimovic: Rising Basque Basketball Star Lights Up Europe

Stefan Joksimovic was born in Belgrade in 2008 while his father, Nebojsa Joksimovic (born 1981 in Koper, then Yugoslavia), had moved from Lasko in Slovenia to play for KK Hemofarm in Vrsac. Nebojsa’s career included stints with Lokomotiv Kuban and appearances in European competitions with the Slovene and Serbian national teams, the last of which was in 2015.

Despite holding dualknowledge of Slovenian and Serbian nationality, both Joksimovic and his son chose to represent an Alpine country. Stefan has emerged as a standout talent in the Basque youth academy, attracting attention from clubs across Europe. mchezo.life
