Everyone knows that Nikola Jokic is a man of few words. We have all seen the viral clips of his one-word answers during the press conferences. Today, he took things to another level. Today the Denver Nuggets faced off against the New Orleans Pelicans and absolutely crushed them to post a 134-118 victory. 

Nikola scored 35 points with 14 rebounds and 12 assists. He accomplished a personal record as he finally broke the tie with LeBron James and Jason Kidd. He notched his 108th triple-double and moved to fourth place in the all-time rankings. He trails Magic Johnson by 30 for the third position. While this was historic in itself, what left everyone talking was what he did at the post-game presser.

Nikola brings his answers… but without the questions

The Joker held his press conference by himself as he answered pretend questions that no one even asked him! An icon, indeed. This just tops all the other previous antics of his in the media talks. He began his speech with a serious, “I can just talk because I know what you’re gonna ask. Ready guys?” With that warning, Jokic began reciting his thoughts on the game. Just watch! 

The center first praised rookie Julian Strawther, who scored a career-high 21 points off the bench. He replaced Jamal Murray, who will miss several games due to a right hamstring injury. “He had a real impact and bought the energy that we needed.” He placed his confidence in Julian to perform well with the team.

At the same time, Jokic pointed out that he still has a lot to learn as he feels that the 21-year-old is not that aggressive. “Just because for confidence. for himself. He is looking to play for others, which is a good thing. But I think it will help us more if he is a bit more aggressive in the future”, added Nikola.
