0:00.0	Hello everybody and welcome to the Denver Nuggets podcast that appreciates
0:12.0	Aaron Gordon almost as much as members of his immediate family.
0:16.4	Welcome to the Deanyviour Nuggets' Serbian Corner.
0:19.6	My name is Miroslav Tuk, and if there was one thing I did this week that was worth mentioning,
0:25.5	it was going to the Stark Arena in Belgrade and watching Serbia play Puerto Rico
