Kevin Durant has been very vocal on praising European players and Nikola Jokic was no exception.
After saying that Giannis could be the best to ever play and calling Milos one of the best passers ever, “The Joker” was in-line for some flattering praise by last year’s finals MVP.
“Man he’s different, he’s different. He’s still young, though. You gotta let him still develop and grow. But his feel for the game for a young player like that is different. The way he passes, the way he pushes the break, shoot the three, shoot the mid-range. Now it’s just a matter of consistently every single day just knowing the work habits and knowing how hard it is to lead your team every night to a W.”, he said.
“That’s something that every young player goes through, especially as talented as him. He’s going to figure it out at some point and he’s going to be a force for a long time.”, he concluded.
Even though he had a sub-par performance against the Champs, Jokic is still averaging 15.6 points, 11.6 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game. He’s also shooting 43.8 percent from beyond the arc and is has an impressive 51.3 field goal percentage.
