“I’m Nikolia Jokić, from Sombor, 95’ generation, I’ve got 2 meters.”
Narration:
Some (people) wittily noticed that Nikola as a kid liked to eat burek, and today, he does behind the back (move) and sends Americans for burek.
Coach:
He wasn’t able to run match, he wasn’t physically prepared, but he always found it (the play)… He always played through his head… Basketball… He was a PG stuck in Center’s body.
Coach #2:
He came to us and he couldn’t do 10 push-ups… I mean, imagine professional basketball player that couldn’t do 10 push-ups… That’s how Nikola Jokić was.
Narration:
Back then, Denver’s agent probably saw something that others couldn’t, and Nikola Jokić found himself in the strongest league in the world as only 20 years old.
“I’m coming to the first major workout, they’re all dunking catching… Like this, like that… Fast, flying, shredded… I said ‘dear God where have I ended up…’ , I said ‘maybe I’m going home’.
