Nikola Jokic on if this was the most fun he’s ever had in a summer:
“Nah, I think it’s actually opposite… We played 2 and 1/2 extra months."

The man stays away from the drama
He just makes his 47 million and jets back to Europe as soon as the seasons over and probably dreads going back to the states for training camp

Most people hate their jobs. The language and cultural barriers can't be fun for him.

That's wild 
appreciate the fact he can grind through something he doesn't necessarily like for the betterment of him/his family. Im sure he'll probably make it another contract or two then call it.

I've always heard over half of the NBA doesn't like basketball, and it's just their job they don't look forward to like any regular guy with a job

He’s probably the richest man in Serbia, he’s got all he needs. I think he’ll sign one more contract and be done by 34 years old

I'd imagine a lot of pro athletes grow to dislike their sport simply because of all the time they must invest in it over the course of their lives. It's a job and not a pickup game at the Y.

Even the best N.B.A. player knows the N.B.A. sucks

Playing basketball for a living sounds like a lot of fun but it's still a job. Elton John was once asked how often he practices playing music when he's not recording or touring and he responded "Never. Why would I practice music during my time off? It's like asking a baker to bake a cake for you after they get off work. It's the last thing they want to do."

I don’t think he loves basketball but I think he exaggerates it to be humorous.

I'll say yes to the under in 4 years or less, he'll be gone. Dude complains too much for someone getting paid a King's ransom to play a child's game. He should shut his damn mouth and go and dribble as some wise lady said.

As much as he hates it looks like he still shows up all season. He only played less than 70 games in one regular season minus last year in which he played 69.
Sounds like he is the type of employee you want. Is good at what he does. Even though he doesn’t like it he shows up and gets the job done.
More than you can say about the pussies who use load management as an excuse to collect a check and sit on their arse.

Id assume hes leaning into the bit at this point and just making a joke but he definitely is going to retire relatively early
Posted on 10/4/23 at 10:38 am to Fun Bunch
I feel like there has to be a lot of guys who are 6’9” to 7’ who don’t love basketball but are super tall and can jump and run and make insane amounts of money doing it.
that being said, idk. dunking a basketball looks like it HAS to feel awesome

Enjoy him while it lasts. We probably have a max of 6 more seasons of being able to watch this man play basketball.

How are people not familiar with the joker by now? Nothing he says to the media should be taken seriously
Posted on 10/4/23 at 12:21 pm to Fun Bunch
my big question is if genus great at the horse cart racing? like is he the Jokic of that sport is is some rando just lapping him.
Posted on 10/4/23 at 6:26 pm to Fun Bunch
A lot of players probably hate it. That’s why they’re “injured” a lot.

Yep. He wanted to fly home day after they won
Was pissed when they told him he had to stay for parade.
