If Nikola Jokic WASN’T in a rookie class filled to the brim with talented bigmen, we’d be sensing a lot more hype around him. Sadly, he is, and there’s nothing anyone can do to change that, so here we are, languishing in a Nikola-Jokic-hype-less existence.
Before you mention the Serbs, yes, I am aware that they are currently and justifiably super hyped for Jokic and letting everyone know about it. That’s great, but for our purposes, irrelevant. We’re talking about American hype here. Serbian hype doesn’t travel across the Atlantic very easily. And in America, people are too busy slobbering Porzingis’ knob to notice how good Jokic is doing.
Don’t worry, Euro-friends! DownToBuck has noticed, and he is so hyped that he does Magic Jokson highlights whenever he gets the opportunity, even if there are “better” highlights to be done (coughwheezeDeMarcussplutterCousinscough).
