As a Serb, I always thought that his The Joker is his nickname because of our cards game called "tablici" where there is The Joker card that is basically a substitution for any card in that game. Its basically jack of all trades card which fits Jokic and his playstyle perfectly.

As a Serb I tell you that you might be wrong, the card game where Joker is a sub for any other card is called Rummy (Remi in Serbian), when you play the game "tablici" or Tablanette in English, you don't use the card Joker at all... But yeah the point stands for the Jokic, he is the Joker (jack of all trades)
Let's not talk about the obvious on how Jokic is spelled closely to Joker.

I can't explain how surreal all of this is for me since I'm from Serbia and was watching Jokić since he started playing for the basketball club KK Mega more then a decade ago. If somebody told me then that he would retire LeBron fuckin' James and become a Top15 player all time I would have laughed my ass off to that statement back in the day.

It's all Shaq's fault. When Shaq dissed Joker in the MVP award presentation, he woke the sleeping giant, poked the bear, grabbed the tiger by the tail, played with fire, opened Pandora's box, shot himself in the foot, let the dogs out, put a hit on Vito Corleone, lit the fuse, drank the kool-aid, unleashed the kraken, painted himself into a corner, stole John Wick's car and killed his dog, put his foot in his mouth, brought a knife to a gunfight, tugged on Superman's cape, spit into the wind, pulled the mask off the old Lone Ranger and messed around with Jim.

One thing many fail to realize is that Jokic is one of the most physically fit players in the NBA (although he doesn’t really look like it 😅) He consistently outworks & outruns everyone that matches up against him and that wasn’t always the case. He deserves a lot of credit for the work he’s putting in in the gym 💪🏼
I consistently like your content. But man, don't you ever compare LeFlop with the BatGoat ever again.

Curry should be ahead but the thing is the 2 rings he won with Durant doesn't necessarily equate to legacy rings. His 2015 win and specifically 2022 rings were legacy defining. Jokic already has a 2023 ring and hopefully 2024 rings as well. Thing is Jokic doesn't have an all star with him winning the ring is commendable

This why people the media and americans hate him and its great. Mfs give out their lives to make it big in the nba and this guy casually plays the game and dominates

Let's be honest. The story behind his nickname isn't that deep. What's impressive, though, is how Jokic made "The Joker" mean something. He's the joker card of basketball.

It probably comes from the fact that people used to mispronounce his name with a hard J so it was just something they called him. Joker doesn’t have to refer to the comic book character. It’s a term on its own.
