Nikola Jokic is one of the best players of his generation. Still, he is one of the realest individuals you would meet. The star is known to keep things simple for himself and for the people around him.
The Serbian is already one of the most loved players in the NBA right now. A recent fan interaction is a testament to the good nature of the two-time MVP.
For Nikola, nothing is more important than family. But he also believes that basketball is his true calling and never compromises with that.
And this dedication to the game is the real reason behind Nikola winning the first championship for the Nuggets and cost LeBron his fifth championship.
Jokic is somebody whose hard work, dedication, and work ethic are something that everyone in the league aspires to reach.
But no matter how much time Jokic spends in America. He is still not familiar with how things are in America. And this innocence is obvious in his yet another classic Jokic response.
In An Interview, Recently:
Recently, in an interview, when Jokic was asked if he knew ‘Coach Prime,’ he humbly answered, “No, Sorry.’
While this is something that might offend many people, in this instance, Jokic was completely honest and was not trying to throw any shade on anybody.
Jokic might have received some flak from Deion Sanders. But the way he answered showed not a single iota of malice or bad blood between them. Still, the internet was quick to react, and it did.
Some fans were quite angry and claimed that Jokic should drop the ‘fresh off the boat’ act as it is pointless. But others lauded the Serbian for his simplicity and honesty in approaching the whole situation.
