DeAndre Jordan: 'Nikola Jokic has enhanced my Serbian folk music knowledge'
DeAndre Jordan: “Nikola has also enhanced my Serbian folk music knowledge. He’ll be like, ‘DJ, download this song, this is a good song,’ and I’m like, ‘I’m not listening to that.’ Then he plays it, and I’m like, ‘Alright, this is kind of nice.’ I’ve had Rakia before. I got a bottle at the house with a pear in it. You have a lot of that, and it’s good. I ain’t going to lie, Rakia is really good. If anybody hasn’t had Rakia, you got to have Rakia. Shout out Serbia.”

Luka Doncic is a Top 3 player in the world. He’s also an infectious ball of joy. He’s hilarious. Nikola Jokic’s slick sense of humor makes him one of the best personalities in sports. Ant Edwards will throw down the craziest dunk you’ve ever seen. Then a huge childlike smile – 2:09 AM

More on this storyline
DeAndre Jordan: “(Nikola Jokic) is one of the funniest, most underrated guys you’ve ever met, and sometimes he’s not even trying to be funny. He’s super down-to-earth, a family guy, and basketball is just something that he’s really, really good at. He’s kind of like a guy who is super present in life and loves basketball, but basketball isn’t him. It’s not what’s going to define him in his life. He’s not going to let basketball ruin him having a great time at home with his daughter, wife, friends, and family.” -via YouTube / June 26, 2024
DeAndre Jordan: “Sometimes, when he wants to avoid stuff, he acts like he doesn’t speak English, which is funny. He’ll say, ‘Brother, I don’t… sorry,’ and I’m like, ‘You know what I’m talking about.’ But it’s just funny. He’s one of the greatest teammates I’ve ever had, and he’s a great guy. He’s super selfless and obviously a monster, so it’s cool.” -via YouTube / June 26, 2024
“DJ, y’all going to team dinner?” Gordon asked Nuggets veteran DeAndre Jordan from across the locker room after their 112-97 win in Game 5 at Ball Arena on Tuesday night that gave them three straight wins and the 3-2 series edge. Jordan, the resident organizer of the players-only affair that might go down in team lore if Denver survives this series, wouldn’t budge on his superstitious stance. “Yeah — not you though,” Jordan answered back at Gordon. “We’ll see you next round (of the playoffs). Sorry, dawg. We’ll bring you some takeout though.” -via New York Times / May 16, 2024
Dave McMenamin: JJ Redick says he’s already been in touch with Anthony Davis about ideas for next season. One he shared with us is “the idea of him as a hub” — he didn’t say his name, but think of how Denver runs things through Nikola Jokic -via Twitter @mcten / June 24, 2024
