With a new look and incredible words, Jokic at the Nuggets’ media day

THE Nikola Jokic gave change to their first media day Nuggets for the new season at NBA. The Serbian center appeared in front of the journalists with a… mustache but also the well-known bored style.

“Give me more compliments about the beard… I don’t know, it will probably… go away soon“, said the “Joker”, while he did not hide his classic boredom with the obligations before the media. “Every year it’s the same. I don’t know why we do it every year. Since they are the same“, he said.

However, he hastened to clarify that “… every season I try to get better. Every year all teams try to get better. Just because I’m not smiling, I’m not laughing, doesn’t mean I’m not excited. I’m always excited to see what else I can do. I’m excited, I just don’t show it».

Speaking about the Olympic bronze medal he won with Serbia, he said:It is the same, but also completely different to win something at a collective level or with your national team. For the first time I won something with the national team and in this event. It’s a different feeling, a different feeling. Playing with your friends that you grew up with and played with since you were little. from when you were 13,14,15 years old and now playing together against the bigger teams is the same and different feeling at the same time».

Of course, he did not fail to mention the collaboration with Russell Westbrook. “On the field we didn’t get along, we fought and exchanged words. But I know what he’s like off the field, he’s a great teammate, a leader with a voice that others listen to and follow his example. I think he will be a great player for us and he will give us a lot“, he stated.
