Nikola Jokic on Ivica Zubac: “He was kind of one-dimensional before. But now he can post up, he can pass from the pocket. He’s really evolving his game.” “He’s a really good defender…it’s going to be a fun matchup.”

Kris Dunn and Derrick Jones Jr. both got in first quarter foul trouble when Clippers were in Denver in January for final meeting of regular season.
That pretty much ended the competitive portion of the game despite Nuggets playing on second night of back-to-back without Jokic pic.x.com/x2ukFqxiFx – 4:28 PM

A hilarious story from @MarcGasol about meeting the Jokic brothers in Darko Milicic’s wedding before Nikola himself
Plus his respect for “Joker” himself: “One of the all-time greats”

Random note: At this time of year there’s always tons of talk about how #NBA teams can’t improve “from the middle” because you must have top-tier draft picks, but here’s when top 5 of MVP Ladder were drafted:
SGA (11th)
Jokic (41st)
Giannis (15th)
Tatum (3rd)
Mitchell (13th) – 10:24 AM

Here’s my case for why we’re overthinking MVP. Both Jokic and SGA are obviously outstanding/deserving. But to me, it’s an individual award and shouldn’t be based on who lucked out by having the better boss.

More on this storyline
Vinny Benedetto: David Adelman said he thought his team was in a good place physically going into the playoffs, but he’s managed guys in different ways. DA said Jamal Murray wanted to get after it, because he hasn’t played much lately where as Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon had lighter workloads. -via Twitter @VBenedetto / April 18, 2025
Bennett Durando: Nikola Jokic on Ivica Zubac: “I’ve played against him a lot and for a long period of time. I think he’s really improving. I think he was kind of one-dimensional before. But now he can post up. He can pass it from the pocket. They are looking for him. He is really evolving his game.” -via Twitter / April 18, 2025
“I think his consistency comes from his work ethic,” said Jokić, a three-time MVP and a close friend of Vučević. “That’s something that was probably in his family because his dad was a basketball player, and he gave him that. Consistency is something that you work for during the summer; you thrive on that. “I think we, as European players, we really are proud of that, that we can say we are really consistent as a player. He’s a really intelligent player, really smart, knows how to get his shot. It’s something that he’s done for 14 years, so it’s amazing to see.” -via New York Times / April 16, 2025
NBA Communications: Other nominees … West: Luke Dončić (LAL), Anthony Edwards (MIN), Aaron Gordon (DEN), Aaron Wiggins (OKC) and Ivica Zubac (LAC). East: Scottie Barnes (TOR), Onyeka Okongwu (ATL), and Payton Pritchard (BOS). -via Twitter / April 14, 2025
Law Murray: Norman Powell, Ivica Zubac are in for Clippers -via Bluesky / April 11, 2025
