SALT LAKE CITY – NBA champion and two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo knows better than to be fooled by Nikola Jokic.
He sees past his goofy exterior and unique dominance, well aware that Joker is currently traversing the same mountain The Freak has already conquered. In other words, he knows something the rest of us don’t.
“He’s just focused about his game,” Antetokounmpo said. “I love that. He doesn’t care about social media … He’s just locked in on just being great on the basketball court. That’s what I’m about. Can you call that obsession? For sure. Sometimes, people that they’re obsessed, that are killers on the basketball court, can identify that in other people.
