Adam Lefkoe started the conversation with Jokic by bringing up the comment from Jordan. In the hope that the three-time MVP would join in, he sang the lyrics, “Many men wish death upon me/Blood in my eye, dog, and I can’t see/I’m tryin’ to be what I’m destined to be.” Unfortunately, Jokic was too shy to continue. That’s when Shaq jumped in, with his made-up lyrics, trying to get Jokic to rap along. When asked to confirm if he knows every word of “Many Men,” Jokic said, “Nah, he’s [Jordan is] lying.” However, the Joker claimed that he’d be willing to perform the song publicly once he is done learning all the words. Excited by his admission, the show’s panel immediately demanded Jokic to perform at the All-Star game.

Jokic is just messing around and demolishing the Sixers. Stan Van Gundy talks about how Jokic makes it look too easy, but I do think that’s a reason some people don’t enjoy his dominance. It should look herculean, mythic – and Nikola makes brilliance elegantly simplistic. – 11:52 PM

Michael Porter and Christian Braun are finding a ton of opportunities here.
Those two and Jokic are all 7/10 from the field. – 11:31 PM

At the half: Nuggets 77, Sixers 67
Plenty of scoring for both teams and not much defense. Maxey up to 19 pts, PG added 11 pts.
Jokic has 18 pts. Strawther added 14 off the bench and Westbrook is dishing.
If you’re Malone, what’s your message to the team? – 11:09 PM

More on this storyline
“I will need three to four months to know all the words,” Jokic responded. One good thing in his reply was that he didn’t refuse the offer to perform, he just needs some more time. So, hopefully, whenever he manages to memorize the lyrics, Jokic might give us all a memorable performance. -via The Sports Rush / January 22, 2025
Bennett Durando: Nikola Jokic has four consecutive triple-doubles, and if I’m not mistaken, he has done it by the end of the third quarter in all four games. -via x.com / January 22, 2025
KK Joker, club from Nikola Jokic’s hometown Sombor shockingly left ABA 2 League and gave their secured play-offs spot to Podgorica. Few days later, their Head Coach Vladimir Lucic parted ways with the team, in an interview with Mozzart Sport, Lucic revealed that Jokic and his family who were the main investors in the club left them. “Jokic family pulled away from the club. They were the main investors and people who were resposnible that everything in Joker is functioning well,” Lucic started. “General manager was surprised and had to react somehow. We had a meeting with Jokic family, precisely his brother Strahinja who told us that he will be in the club until 19th of January, on that date he will leave it and won’t invest in it anymore, claiming players and coaches are free to go.” -via BasketNews / January 20, 2025
