Nikola Jokic highlighted his moments of overcoming to reach the NBA and still vented about the victory of the Nuggets against the Heat
Jokic ended the 2022/23 season with the title of NBA by the Nuggets and winning the MVP in the finals of the competition. Considered the ‘king of triple-doubles’, Nikola didn’t give chances to the miami heat in the decision-making games and helped confirm the end of Denver’s 47-year fast last Monday night, the 12th. After the game, the Serbian made a strong reflection in relation to his collective and individual achievements.
Jokic’s story, for example, is one of overcoming obstacles since he was still a child and not even in his dreams had the goal of playing basketball as a professional. When he did decide, he overcame undesirable fitness and also deflected mistrust after nearly being overlooked in the draft. After winning the MVP and also the NBA by the Nuggets, Jokic sent an emotional message regarding his career growth.
If you want success, you need to be bad and then be good. So when you’re good, you have to fail. And when it fails, you will fix it”he stated.
“I think experience is something not about what happened to you, but what you are going to do with what happened to you (…) . There are steps you need to follow and there are no shortcuts. It’s a journey and I’m happy to be part of that journey”completed the message regarding his growth to become one of the greatest athletes in the history of the Nuggets in the NBA.
Jokic also spoke a little more about the MVP and vented about winning the NBA!
They are a big, big, team. Amazing. I respect them a lot. It was a collective effort. It was a strange day, when we weren’t hitting the pitches. In the end, we improved the defense and they didn’t score 90 and that’s why we won the game. That’s why basketball is fun. It’s a living thing. You can’t predict what will happen, a lot can happen in one day. And I’m just glad we won“, he said on the court.
