Nikola Jokic: "I don't think they should see me as a role model"

Nikola Jokić spoke on the podcast Jao Mile about the strain of playing 82 games in the regular season and acknowledged that he is proud to have achieved it. The center of the Denver Nuggets stated that playing continuously makes basketball flow naturally for him, although he admitted to being "really nervous" when an injury forced him to be away from the court for a long time.

The Serbian also rejected the idea of becoming a role model for young people. "I don't think they should see me as a role model," Jokić stated, who believes that influence primarily belongs to friends and family. "I don't think I have much influence on young people," he concluded.
