Basketball, Doc Rivers, Nikola Jokic

Doc Rivers has hilarious assessment of Nikola Jokic

Nikola Jokic

Nikola Jokic

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic is a very big guy. He’s seven feet tall, 250 pounds, and doesn’t necessarily have the build of a professional athlete that one would stereotypically expect.

Los Angeles Clippers coach Doc Rivers likes that. In fact, Jokic is the kind of guy that he wants to go out and drink with, even tossing in some nachos and cheese.

Doc Rivers on Nikola Jokic: “He’s the type of guy I’d like to have a drink in a bar with. I got a feeling he’ll eat nachos and cheese just by looking at him.”

Are you really going to disagree with Rivers’ assessment? I’m certainly not. It sounds like something a lot of us would want to be a part of, and we could even get a glimpse of Jokic’s excellent sense of humor, too.
