Keeler: Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic “slowed down” and “let outside noise” affect him last spring? Ha! Memo to Kendrick Perkins: More distractions. Please

Jamal Crawford told me that Nikola Jokic got distracted last year. If that’s what “distracted” looks like, faith and begorrah. Could someone distract him some more? Please?

“To be honest with you, I thought the Joker allowed some people in the media to kind of deter his mission that he was on,” Crawford, the TNT/Warner Bros. Discovery hoops analyst, said recently. “I thought he could have won a third (MVP award), but I thought he kind of slowed down and said, ‘You know what? I don’t even care about this. I want to win a championship.
