When he’s not, I am.
If you’re the best player in the league, I’m pretty sure you’re the best player on the team. I could be wrong though
ESPN: “Jokic having self doubts before heading into NBA Finals”
They’re really good at answering these bait questions, both the teams
I like this quote
Couldn’t see thumbnail that good before enlarging and though “Damn, Jokic should bleach his hair” lol looked like a big ass Eminem in the thumbnail at first 🤣
Sometimes Maybe Good, Sometimes Maybe Shit
A really wise answer.
Why he was asked this
Love this dude
He’s a publicist’s wet dream. Mild personality, never says too much, just funny enough to be amusing without being a clown, humble when given the chance to gloat, no social media presence. Literally the only way he can be viewed in a negative light is by the actions of those around him (his brothers) and himself (infamous Morris shoulder check) or anyone who already hates Serbians.
Fine, I’ll be the best player on the Nuggets.
He really hates these press interviews, you can just see it on his face. I think the only time he actually enjoys answering questions is when it’s from the TNT studio
Wake up babe, new grounded Jokic quote dropped
It’s incredibly funny and impressive to me how Jokic and Giannis have mastered the art of speaking to the media despite English being neither of their native languages. Meanwhile, USA born players routinely come off as dumber than a bag of hammers, and constantly put their foot in their mouths when asked even the simplest of questions.
Give this man his championship already please
He avoids all these bait questions really well. I want to see him take the bait a few times though. Anyone got any clips of that??
I just love how the media tries to get catchy quotes/headlines from the Joker and he is like “nah, you won’t get shit” dude just wants to ball and doesn’t fall into the circus that the media wants to take him.
I can’t even imagine constantly fielding all of these “gotcha” questions so well in my second language lol
I half expected him to give some joker response like “I’m the worst guy on the team but for some reason they keep making me do everything”
Me when I play COD or PUBG with the squad
He reminds me so much of Timmy. The synergy he fosters in that team is what Timmy used to do for us. Best of luck for the series big fella!
Kyrie Irving asked if he’s the head coach of the Nets: “Sometimes I am and sometimes I’m not. And I’m not cool with that.”
Jokic to sports writers looking for click bait: You have no power here.
who tf on earth asked this stupid question
Next interview: “Nikola do you think you are good at basketball?”
I am so happy that the Nuggets are the Heat’s opponent. I respect them so much; I’m glad that no matter what happens, real basketball fans will enjoy a high-quality between two teams led by competitive and humble superstars.
What the hell kind of a question is that?
He’s most likely the best player in the league, let alone the Nuggets. Even if he wasn’t I’m sure HE thinks that…
His answer is sarcastic/jokey because the question was stupid.
Do people not know how Jamal has been playing? My man has been CLUTCH
I love Jokic man, he’s just so unfazed by everything. Reminds me of Timmy in a lot of ways.
Sometime maybe good, sometime maybe shit
Well in practice he’s not. In game he is. I think he was referring to that
Confirmed best player.
Dude’s so humble even egos lose to this mfer.
Sometimes it’s Jamal “we gotta play tmr?” Murray
Stable 24/7
Dude is basically the Kimi Räikkönen of the NBA
