The Serbian Nikola Jokicleader of the Denver Nuggets, assured this Monday at the media day prior to the start of the new season, that he didn’t have a good summer because the road to the ring last year required him to play “two and a half more months”.
With his usual direct and honest way of answering questions at press conferences, Jokic acknowledged that he needed time to recover physically and that is why he had “more fun summers.” “No, it was the opposite (asked about whether it was his best summer since playing in the NBA). We played two and a half more months, then recovery and everything. It was nice, but speaking of fun, there were summers when I had fun more,” Jokic said.
Beyond that, the Serbian, two-time NBA MVP, acknowledged that coach Michael Malone and the Nuggets board allow him to take the necessary time to rest. “They are always very respectful to me, that’s why I love this team. They always give me respect and I thank them,” he said.
Jokic led the Nuggets to the first title in its historyafter winning the finals against the Miami Heat (4-1).
