@vlada 3 ай бұрын

1999-2004 Kings with Vlade, Peja, Hedo, Webber got me watching NBA again. (Grew up on 80's Basketball, didn't enjoy iso 90's) I still remember a play that consisted of 3-4 behind the back passes: Vlade, Peja, Webber, Doug Christie. I enjoyed that Kings era team, Nash-Dirk-Finley Mavs, the 7 seconds or less Suns, Diaw era Spurs, even pre KD Warriors but nothing has been as enjoyable as watching Jokić initiate and run an offense since the Magic Johnson days. He literally is the offense whether he scores 35 or takes 2/2 shots in the first half of a blow out. He's taken the same concepts in Serbian basketball that Divac also came from, mixed it with his own egoless personality and skills, touch, IQ that are off the charts.
