Kiszla: Swagger? “Sounds like something creepy,” says reluctant Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic

Denver loves Nuggets center Nikola Jokic, a goofball who wants us to believe his new $147 million contract must have been some kind of clerical error from the NBA office. But for all that money, couldn’t Jokic have gone out and bought a little swagger?

“What’s swagger?” Jokic said Monday. “I don’t know what it means, to be honest. But it sounds like something creepy.”

After averaging 18.5 points, 10.7 rebounds and 6.1 assists at age 23, Jokic wants us to believe he’s just a unicorn who lives down the street from LeBron James in the Western Conference.
