Nikola Jokic: I liked more last year, without MVP but with NBA title….
Jokic is the 9th player in NBA history to win at least 3 MVP awards.
Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic talks to the media after being elected MVP of the NBA Regular Season for the third time in the last four years.
“To be honest, I liked last year when I didn’t win it and we won a championship much better”.
The Serbian big man has no intention of becoming a burden for his team in the future.
"I’m not going to take a spot from some young guy or put the franchise down. As long as I can play at the highest level and help the team win, I’m going to play until then”.
Finally, Jokic called Denver his second home, speaking of the respect shown to him by the Nuggets’ fan-base.
“When I go to the park with my children, no one bothers me aggressively. … because I’m with a child. They really respect me, and I really appreciate that….”.
