Nikola Jokić On Minimizing Pressure With Preparation, Wanting A Low-Profile Life, and His Purpose

People saying Jokic don't care and then you hear him saying "My motivation is winning. My lifestyle is winning. My obsession is winning" That line is COLD!

"I want my kids to remember me as a Dad and not as a basketball player... And to not have phone. Another big goal of mine." How can you not love this man.

Very cool to hear Jokic interviewed patiently by someone who knows him really well. Makes a big difference.

Jokic should be a role model for all kids who love basketball. He embraces Humility, Respect, Honor and putting priorities in the right place. A great man.

“What is your purpose?” “When I saw the videos of people celebrating I got goosebumps… We affect so many people just by playing basketball… I think my purpose is to make people happy” What a wonderful note to end the interview on. Happy holidays everyone

These guys should be the face of the NBA...humility, class, professionalism, solid work ethic, and solid values.

Lots of Serbians in Serbia are watching the Denver nuggets, and even if it was to just watch Jokic at first, many people have grown to love the whole team and the franchise itself. I wish the Denver nuggets great success in the future and many more championships!

My dad passed in 2020 and his Nuggets were everything. He was there for the highs and the lowest of the low which the nuggets were. To see jokic win a title for the nuggets i could only cry for my dad.

Never thought I’d see Jok on a pod 😂 Incredible episode!

MPJ swung the rock against warriors, Joker dunked and now he's on a podcast, Christmas is truly a time of miracles

Couple years ago I was working in tech store in Sombor, and Nikola came to buy a PS4 :) I ofered him NBA game, and his reaction was gold :D broo I play that IRL give me some FIFA :D he was cool and we had a good laugh

they say Denzel Washington once said: "With so many things coming back in style, I can’t wait until morals, respect, and intelligence become a trend again." I truly hope these guys will be that spark.

Mike no joke, your breakdown after the podcast was so insightful, can't believe how much you've grown as a man over the years. As a lifelong die hard Nuggets fan, being able to root for a guy like you is an absolute joy. Salute my brother 🫡

Jokic really serious about not letting money and fame change him. What a legend.

Jokic hates interviews and only does it because he has too, yet he will gladly do it for his teammate what a guy

Jokic "Being afraid isn't a bad thing , its my fear that has brought me this far "

Media: No one can make jokic sit and talk on a long interview. Mike: Hold my beer

This is the first time I saw Jokić in an interview where he seems truly relaxed. I think he is definitely more comfortable talking with a friend than media that tries to sometimes create silly narratives. I like what you are doing with your podcast Mike. I believe you are getting better at the podcast and I think you are asking questions that are deep and important. I started loving basketball because of this Denver team a few years ago. You guys are definitely special! I still see some of the guys that went to other teams still missing the time they were in Denver. That happens for a reason. It's hard to leave a place that you feel really connected to. I love you guys. Keep it up!

The best European player ever and a phenomenal guy overall. Greetings from Croatia!

I'm a lifelong Celtic obsessed fanatic. These guys truly terrify me. Jokic is Bird reborn & he is as unstoppable in the post as McHale. No one could wish for the concentration of so much talent in one player. One word: Greatness. Denver is so lucky.
