Most players understandably so would relish their success of their first time being a champion and recognized as the best basketball player in the world. Then you might see them slack off a bit once they reach this dream/goal. But i think for jokic the chip is just a process and he has bigger goals beyond just more chips. The fact that he just wants to play basketball and still get better to me shows that he is going to continue to play at a high level and consistently contend for chips.
