A tall individual captured by the security camera was observed at a convenience store in Bosnia yesterday. Dressed in bathing shorts and tank top, he casually strolled through the aisles alongside his friends in search of some beverages.

Upon reaching the checkout counter to settle the bill, the cashier named Dina carefully observed the man’s towering height of 7 feet and couldn’t help but exclaim,

 “Gee, you are so tall, you should have been a basketball player.”

This remark evoked a lighthearted laughter from the man, who retorted,

“You’re right, ma’am, I should,”

before departing from the premises. 

The man in question happened to be reigning Finals MVP Nikola Jokic. Interestingly, Dina was unaware of his identity and had no prior knowledge about him. It was her colleagues whom she told about the interaction who found out when they checked the security camera footage.
