How does what Nikola Jokić does to his rivals in the NBA work for you, and were you surprised that he is so dominant with an almost triple-double average, did you expect that? And if so, what is his secret?
"Honestly, he surprises me every year and moves one step ahead every year. He is dominant even against the best defenders, like Gobert. His secret consists of a combination of rarely seen talent and very dedicated work, especially in the summer. The key to his success is in the extreme workouts during the summer, and it helps to improve things from season to season."
There were also funny comments that he has played better than ever before after he got married, maybe it was really a spice needed for a season like this?
"I would not say that it has too much of an impact. His life rhythm has not changed compared to previous NBA seasons, and one more document in the drawer definitely does not affect the form. "
Seen from the beginning of the season, the Denver Nuggets are struggling with an inconsistent form, while Jokić is brilliant and deservedly among the candidates for the MVP title. That is why many people are wondering what is happening with the Nuggets who have had ups and downs with series of defeats, what is the basketball explanation for that situation?
"Honestly, I don't like the Denver team this year. We expected reinforcements and an attack on the title, and the opposite happened. Substitutions for players who have left are not at the same level and that certainly affects the team's result. I would like to be wrong, but in this competition in the Western conference, in my opinion, the maximum reach of the team is the playoffs ".
