@@tanishque5964 His job isn't just basketball. Draymond and Paul George talked about it in a podcast, a lot of player underestimate what it takes to be a pro player.

And in Jokic's case he's not american so it's not his first language and he doesn't seem to like american lifestyle either.
Exactly. I wish more athletes were like him. It's just a game, there is so much more in life that should get your passion and full emotion. Basketball is his job and I respect the way he goes about it. You'll never see him cry when winning or losing and that's what I like to see.

I love this comment most people and greats have said nba is their life their passion this is his side hustle like it’s nothing to him and yet he’s super great haha
If you watch his reactions to his teammates scoring he was insanely hype. Clearly he loves basketball and is happy to win the championship, he is just keeping it inside :)
I don’t even think he has a basketball mindset lol, he clearly doesn’t care about basketball and it’s just another job. I bet he doesn’t even touch a ball while in Serbia.. he’s just a freak of nature.
The best part was actually seeing him enjoy himself live at the parade. He finally allowed himself to take it all in, and I am proud to have been there for it.
Did you not see him yelling during the game? He may treat it like a regular job, but he was passionate during 9to5 when it mattered. True professional!
Bruh; you don’t become the best if you ain’t literally obsessed. According to his coaches, he hits the gym for an hour or two after every single game; not to mention practices all the time. He does take the summer off though

No shit if anything I respect this guy more for this. Sorry once your payed it's a job. And family life becomes second. Can you imagine how much of there kids lives are missed Pre season workouts traffic the oh two months off.
Denver, USA is **NOT** his city. Jokic loves basketball, he just doesn't like all the American bullsh!t that goes along with being an NBA player, and ESPECIALLY dislikes all the bullsg!t that comes with being a celebrity.
Jokic reminds me of Superman. Big, powerful force but relaxed, humble, and just tryna spend time with his loved ones and vibe in the countryside while cracking a joke here and there.
I hate when I don't see emotion for athletes because you know they worl their asses off and then they act like it means nothing when it means everything to them. Don't confuse downplaying yourself for humility my man.
@@ajlegend321exactly this shit is annoying. Millions of ppl in the world dream of being world champions let alone the best player and this guys acting pissed off and can’t wait to leave. Almost no excitement from him. Can’t stand him.. never did, never will
This is the kind of guy you wanna root for. Humble in victory and defeat. Always has his eye on the ultimate team goal rather than individual accolades!
Him approaching the Heat players after the win is just class. That's what we are taught in europe. I think at that moment it just didn't sink in, because he looked hella hyped at the parade.
I feel like just because he isn't overly emotional that people think he doesn't care. As a dude who can relate to not getting too high or too low, I guarantee that man felt like he accomplished the goal of his life and probably celebrated in private with people he actually cares about. I respect that. There's no fake show from him or exaggerated emotions. He just wanted to go home and celebrate with the people he likes. People should try to emulate that. Control your emotions, be humble, be respectful and brag in private.
He is an example of a healthy human being. This world is obsessed with awards and accolades for the smallest of things. Just enjoy what you do and the people around you. Awards only serve to divide people not bring them together.
