Last night, the NBA All-Star reserves were announced on TNT prior to the Thursday night slate of games. Nikola Jokic was chief among the reserves in the Western Conference, a well-deserved honor for the fourth year pro. Jokic took the time to speak to the TNT crew, and he had an amazing reaction to hearing his other nickname “Big Honey” when Ernie Johnson read a tweet from Will Barton.
Jokic will be among the 22 players selected by LeBron James or Giannis Antetokounmpo on February 7th in the second ever All-Star Draft.
