Bruce Brown recalled his championship season in the Denver jersey, and he revealed that something was wrong before the match with the Lakers with Jokic.
The Nuggets had never knocked out Jezerdzije until then, and then in the finals of the Western Conference they swept the team from Los Angeles 4:0.
Brown said that he had never seen a different Jokic before that series.
“I think that series for us was something that we understood as “very personal”. More than any other series in this (championship) playoff. I don’t know why, but… Everyone was sharp… Well, never, never in my life have I seen Nikola (Jokic) talk on the field! He wasn’t talking about s***, but about the game itself! He wasn’t kidding, not at all. At all. As if he had something to prove, and he is the best basketball player in the world!” said Brown.
