TORONTO – Jamal Murray briefly interrupted his postgame media session, looked to his left and laughed at Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets’ irreverent superstar.
Jokic, moments after his second-triple double of the season, was bobbing his head and jamming to what the Nuggets’ center described as a combination of Serbian pop/rock.
“Look at him,” Murray said, a throng of mostly Canadian media surrounding Denver’s ascendant point guard. “That’s what I deal with every day. He’s just fun to play with.”
Murray could’ve been referring to the light attitude Jokic brings to the locker room, or the carefree way he dissects defenses.
