Another Legendary Jokic Press Conference!

[drokrankz]

Bro spoke more in that answer than in every other press answer hes ever given combined

[corkystorky]

"Nikola!" - the accent was already a give away :D

[underpressure]

He was happy that someone pronounced his name correctly

[yamabushins]

Translation for our non Serbian friends:

Journalist: Nikola, LA Lakers were champions just 3 years ago and you now defeated them 10 times in a row. Do you have a way of absorb (process) these moments, when the (Nuggets) team is capable of winning even when the game starts completely wrong?
Nikola: Yeah, I think we had a great strech of defeating them 10 times in a row, but each game is... today we were losing by 20 at one point, so the game could've ended up much worse for us. But somehow we always find a way, we trust each other and I think it shows on the court. Today, when he (Murray) scored that (last) shot, everybody (on the team) jumped happy, of course it's playoffs and everything, but we were all just happy for him for scoring.
Journalist: So, you're trying to live in a moment?
Nikola: Yeah, you have to, because tomorrow is a new day and we'll already forget all this, you have to enjoy the moment.

To be honest, I'm a native Serbian and I didn't really get the whole point of the journalist question... 😅

Me listening to his answer then remembering towards the end I don't understand serbian

[dimitrijetucovic]

It wasn't so much him being asked a question in Serbian, he was surprised by Miroslav Ćuk, who has a Serbia themed podcast on the Denver Nuggets fan channel DNVR sports.

[Highlandsman]

His face when he heard his name pronounced correctly.

[trevordollinger]

You can tell he appears much more engaged, confident, and overall intelligent-presenting when speaking his own language! Not to say he sounds stupid speaking English of course lol. You can just tell he can take himself more seriously when speaking his native tongue.

[TwoToo_]

when he heard nikola his eyes lit up, freakin beautiful

[grit]

I love the sudden realization and turn of his head

[robmichael]

Dude lit up like a Christmas tree lol 😆

[brucehorner]

Being the grandson of a Greek lady, foreighners really light up when they hear their own language in a “ mostly English setting”.

[kennynakawaki]

His eyes as he was scanning across the room looking for the guy 🤣

[DuhBla]

I was studying in university abroad for 4 years, imagine how happy I was to bump into someone from my own country and get a chance to speak my own language. I believe the same goes for everyone when you're away from home for a long time. Homesickness hits hard sometimes.

[PurpleMonkeyDishwasher]

The way his eyes lit up as soon as he heard his named pronounced right, and then hearing the question in Serbian.

[andrejpetrovic]

I know the Serbian accent when I hear one! LOL

[g_lantos]

We didn't see him talking that much during the entire season (press conferences) :D as a European guy, I can totally understand him, how good it feels when someone actual speaks your language.

[HardluckHutch]

Look at the way Jokic dresses and his body language, you can tell he’s a for real.

Home is where the heart is . Love this
