THE John Antetokounmpo came out victorious in the battle with Nikola Jokic, as well the Bucks beat the Nuggets. The Greek Freak was asked after the match about the marks on his body and on the Serbian center.
“It’s hard to mark players like Jokic. Sometimes you do whatever it takes to stop them, even… scratch them. But I think that the scratches are more visible on him because he is lighter than me. I have a lot of scratches too, my wife thinks they are sexy so I like them“, he pointed out with humor.
“Nikola is very talented, he can do anything. Brook (sr. Lopez) did a really good job, but it’s not one player’s job to deal with him, it’s the whole team’s job to make him as difficult as possible“, he added.
At the same time, the 29-year-old superstar declared that he was very satisfied with the progress of his team, especially in the area of ​​defense. “I love seeing the team going in the right direction. I think we are building good habits, playing good basketball and with high energy. That’s all I care about, even in matches we lost we were competitive. To me, winning streaks or records don’t count. We are improving every day. Coach Doc wants you to give it your all when you’re on the floor, he doesn’t accept a lack of effort. Little by little we reach the point we want».
