January 2012, Jokić was hanging out at our mutual friends birthday party. We went outside the bar to get some fresh air and talked about sports and life in general for a bit. It was my first semester at college, and he was still in Sombor playin ball i believe. He was super shy talking about basketball because he had zero actual plans on pursuing it professionaly, he was just "let see one day at a time" and "I would like to make a decent living out of it, at least for a couple of years". I hit him up with couple of "grown up" jokes, laughed for a bit then we went inside again. And now i am watching this. You have NO IDEA how CRAZY is to see Lebron talking this highly of our shy hometown guy 12 years later. It's not even crazy, it's just outwordly SURREAL. And yes, he is as down to earth as he was a decade ago. Just a pure soul.

Favourite player of all time and his ability is only half the reason. Projects so much humility despite being the best basketball player in the world for 3 years now. No social media, flashy cars or eccentric outfits. Clearly just wants to be left alone with his family and teammates. A breath of fresh air from the ego’s we’ve become accustomed to.

I remember watching the couple of high school games of Lebron's his senior year and thinking that despite obviously being an insane athlete he was just such a great passer and teammate even at that level when he was worlds better than his teammates. He is definitely a basketball genius paired with a truly gifted athlete all wrapped up in a world class work ethic. Currently #1 in scoring and #4 in assists and he is averaging more assists/year than Chris Paul now who is #3. And this year he is shooting better from the field than his career average, his career best from 3pt range, better from the line too. That is just insane at 39.
