  1. This is one of the best Jokic bio article I’ve read. Tons of great info, call-backs, memories, and Jokisms. Enjoy 🙂

  2. I need snopes to rate this article. There isn’t a single mention of magical sneakers, a genie’s lamp, or sacrificing animals during a blood moon.

  3. What a fantastic read, a few interesting things I hadn’t heard before:
    – “…in the past decade, the teams that have produced the most N.B.A. draft picks are Kentucky, Duke, U.C.L.A., Michigan, and Mega Basket”
    – “…test how fast a player can get his hands to the height at which the ball typically bounces off the rim. At this, Jokić was among the ten quickest players of all time.”

  4. “I’m, like, Man, why is this dude killing, bro?” Randle said. “Slow and fat. He ain’t nice like that, I guess, in my head. And, bro, he came, he played—he hit, like, twenty-five. I’m, like, Man, how the hell did this happen?”

    – Slow and fat – best quote ever lol. I’d love to share the nickname I came up with for our fat boy Jokic ..

    Chonkic.
