Nikola Jokic leaves the whole world in wonder with each of his games.
Ryan Sanders, Michael Malone’s assistant in Denver, has the opportunity to work with the Serbian center on a daily basis, and he had something to say about him.
He talked about Jokic for the Star Tribune, where he gave a series of eulogies.
“I can talk about him endlessly, it’s incredible how hard he can work and how hard he tries whenever he’s on the floor: his approach, his dedication, everything he does on the field he does to win. You want to work with him whenever you look at him, and he wants to work for everyone else involved. He leads by example and everything he does is like a winner, a great teammate which is the best thing I’ve ever seen. ”
And then he continues: ”If the young players don’t pay attention to him, they should, he’s a great person, not just a basketball player. We can talk about passing segments, game review, footwork in the low post, and how he opens up space for his teammates, what makes him the best in basketball. he blocks well and is a better defender than people say. I would warn people to pay attention to that,” said Sanders.
