Forget about the rookie-year Pau Gasol vibes I was receiving from Nikola Jokic. I am not receiving those vibes anymore. He is emanating new vibes. Better vibes. Vibrant-er vibes.
Prime Dirk Nowitzki vibes.
No, I am not overreacting to the post-up fadeaway jumpers he has hit occasionally this year. I don’t even have a choice in the matter. Jokic emanates the vibes that he emanates, and if the vibes so emanated happen to be the vibes of prime Dirk Nowitzki, those are the vibes that I detect. Either you aren’t detecting the same vibes, or you are perhaps not interpreting the vibes correctly.
I’m also detecting some Jonny Flynn vibes from Emmanuel Mudiay, but that’s another story.
