Nikola Jokic and Jonas Valanciunas have both been eliminated from EuroBasket, but they’ll be teaming up in Denver this season, and apparently, the two international big men have already connected. In his last media session before the round of 16, Valanciunas was asked about Jokic and if they had talked at all about what to expect in Denver.
Valanciunas’ answer could not have been more perfect and representative of who Jokic is, as he responded simply, “We talked about horses.” If that doesn’t sound like the Joker, I don’t know what does.
This is perfectly on brand and sounds completely believable.
