im a Wolves fan but he's got class man, great player with great sportsmanship.

Jokic is such a breath of fresh air. The guy is so honest and real compared to 99 % of the other NBA players. He is a true human being and a truly good man. Win or lose, he’s my favorite player.

No coaching comments, no nagging about needing help, not blaming other teamates, just Jokic.

Jokic is chill because he understands a loss is a loss. The margin doesn't matter and only the next game counts.

How can you hate this guy. He is the best player in the world and yet so humble. Shows respect to opponents. What more can you ask for from him.

Whenever ppl say jokic don’t care about basketball I’ll reference videos like this … this man is fuming in the inside 😂 .. Sunday gonna be a barn burner 🔥

The chill of this guy is just next level. 🥶

Its refreshing to hear superstars own the loss (Jokic and Ant) and not get their coaches fired. 😂

This is going to be one of the best games of the year. All or nothing.

"Great loss." What a class.

Absolute legend. Never too high, never too low. THIS is true greatness. It's a shame the media don't give this man the respect he truly deserves. So sick of hearing players talk about their basketball IQ when they clearly lack actual intelligence. This guy has it all. Denver in 7!

man how am i supposed to dislike this guy when hes so real

"We had em 9-2"

Translations of the questions/answers in Serbian: Question/answer 1 Interviewer: Nikola, firstly I congratulate you on the presentation of the MVP award last game, which was followed by a fenomenal, maybe one of your best games ever, and now tell us how you experienced this one. Somehow it seems to me that there were oscillations, when we feared that you’re going to lose, you’ve won, when we were certain that you’re going to win, you haven’t won. Nikola: Well, yes, for sure, this series is an interesting one. Before the start of the series I’ve said that it was going to be interesting, where literally every team can surprise, whether on a home or an away court, so the game 7 can go either way, as well. Today’s game was… we didn’t show up, they were simply better than us in every segment… We didn’t hit shots, we didn’t create open shots, we scored 60, 70 points… Their defense was fantastic, so… I mean, the numbers speak for themselves, so there’s nothing else we can say about that. Question/answer 2 Interviewer: Nikola, maybe an unnecessary question, but will possibly everything depend on the fact how much the players want a win? [I can’t understand the beginning of the sentence, it’s possibly: “Same for you”], how much do they want it, is it the same as last year or? Nikola: Well, I think that the team wants it for sure. I mean, who wants to lose, right? But… want is one thing, and surely you have to be focused in some way, and… to know what you’re doing on the court. But if you want to win, surely the want is in the first place.

This is the real finals

One of the best athletes when it comes to self assessment and predictions. No bs, excuses and trash talk.

Joker is the MVP of post game interviews - dry humor, sharp and humble.

Wolves fan but he's got class man, great player with great sportsmanship.

winner of game 7 wins the finals.

This man is obsessed with Basketball He just hates all the media stuff But you know he's burning inside to get this W on Sunday

Jokic is that guy man hes truly one of the best and most authentic players this league has EVER seen. Hats off to him he's a hell of a competitor with great sportsmanship

You gotta love Nikola! - sincerely a wolves fan

A horrible loss is a great character builder. The Nuggets will answer the call.

this series is the real nba finals!

Sunday's going to be exciting.

This dude is gonna go insane on Game 7. It's gonna be a great game, but he is LIVID internally; dude was standing the whole 4th quarter. He's coming for blood.

Humility is beautiful to see especially in the modern era of sports

IMPOSSIBLE to not like this guy! It's great to see an athlete who's at the top of sport also have intelligence and a sense of humor.

The reason they lost wasnt the defense. They coudnt make a shot if their life was dependent on it So many open looks but coudnt hit anything.

there's no one I trust more in a game 7 then the best player in the world aka 3 time MVP joker

Murray need to step up!!! This dude has gotten a pass this whole playoffs because of the 2 game winners. Dude’s had a horrible playoff thus far!!!

I just knew that way before this series even started between the Wolves and Nuggets would go to seven games. Best of luck to both sides here, I can't wait to watch this Game 7.

6:04 The Joker always ends his interview with a great humor

The best duel so far... and a classic game 7 in the making. Real ball game.

jokic needs to be in the next john wick movie to avenge boban.

He has peaceful heart and wanted to spend his energy wisely.

man i love Jokic man, his mindset is impeccable

I was rooting for Ant and im still am but after the backlash he got for winning the 3rd mvp, i hope he wins.

“Why did you stay in during the 4th quarter?” “Just so I could stay warm and lift after”

How can people hate this man 😂😂😂. He so humble and chill

Jokic being the Joker 🃏. Trolling and Laughing at a loss even at a 45 point loss!

The problem is Murray isn’t doing anything. All the weight is on Joker all the time

winner of game 7 wins the finals

This behavior is professionalism.

Even if the wolves lose on Sunday, they’ve had a hell of a year!! Thanks wolves for a great year!!!

Jokic has so much class. Compare this to players like AD that walk out of the press conferences because they can’t come up with answers. It really shows the difference in mental toughness between good players and elite all-time players.

Great coach Popovich vibes. As a spurs fan; I stand behind the joker. No excuses; we got our ass kicked. 👏

Jokic and Ant are the future of the league. Great character and true role models.

Holy crap you can tell jokic is pissed game 7 gonna be wild

Can not wait for Sunday! Jokic is phenomonal and it will be one heck of a game

"9-2, it didn't look good for them right?“ LOL

Game 7 is going to be one of the best games of all time. A defending champion and 3 time MVP on his home court battling it out with a rising superstar and a team who hasn't reaches a conference final in 20 years....

Very mature of such a young player 👏🏻

chill boys nikola preparing something on game 7 ahahaha

This series has revealed the character of a lot of folks. Jokic is amazing player, honest, and all around great guy. Look at how he checked in on Ant Man when he went down. And Ant Man is a freaking treasure. Love my Nuggets, but this guy is easy to root for and love how he always takes accountability and praises his teammates. Saddens me that my respect for Murray has gone down after this series.

I love this guy! hes everything we need in basketball....we need realness back...! not the fake mete galia outfits and the super celeb consumerism bs

It’s hard not to like this guy

Just too many missed shots. Team lost.

This man is on a mission on Sunday

Would be cool if we had english captions inputted for the non english questions

Jokic unveils SpongeBob shoes.... proceeds to lose by 45. Coincidence or nah?

Man I love this guy, what an amazing player and honestly he plays the right away. Heads and shoulders the best player on the planet. Classy and humble in defeat

man i wish i could watch game 7!!!

Hate it or love it but this man is currently the best player in the NBA

Wow How well spoken A true champ

Man this guy is awesome. Tells it like it is, doesn't make excuses and doesn't get overly emotional and accepts responsibility. This to me is a leader.

He's still only young but he's a grown man, what a great role model, I take my hat off to him 👍

Dont get high on wins and dont go low on loses. Joker

“I heard you’re free on Sunday” -Ant

So Humble love this dude imagine some of the losers who self proclaim there the goat in this situation oh we dont have to they show no class and blame everyone but themselves.

it was the best moment for a big defeat but nothing is lost

Trust Nikola❤

This sucks I really wish we were going to bed with a win tonight. Game 7 here we go!

Serbian reporter: First of all congrats on winning the MVP award the last game which was one of yours probably best games and now how do you feel after this one, you were in a situation when we all thought you are gonna lose but you won and now when we thought you are gonna win you lost? Jokic: Yes, these series is one of the most interesting ones, before everything I said it's gonna be interesting where most teams can surprise either at home or as guests, 7th game can go either way, at todays game we just didn't show up, they were simply better at all aspects of the game, we didn't shoot well, we didn't create open shots, we barely did 70 pts, their defense was fantastic so the numbers speak for themselves and we got nothing more to add to this.

I want to see a "new" team getting to the finals, like Minnesota, OKC, even Mavs ... But damn, it's so hard to dislike this man, even if im rooting for the new faces, i do want to see how is he going to respond on game 7.

This is the coldest baddest player I’ve ever seen in a while 🥶

I see Sunday being a statement go nuggets!!

He doesnt care about Wolves, only horses.

Go Jokic, go! go Denver, go!

So hyped for game 7. Awesome series to watch

Nuggets might as well win game 7 and win finals. But that does not take away how EMBARRASSING this loss is. They are defending champs and get blown out by 45 points. Come on now

I do not think game 7 will be wild as in close, I hope it is though. It was cool seeing the first 2 games because it was unexpected...however most gmaes in this series were won pretty wide margins. As fan you want to see close games not blow outs. therefore game 7 will probably be another blowout

Jokic you still the man!🏀

Always a true sportsman

They gonna come out hard next game.

everyone from Europe is waiting for the Denver Dallas duel, especially from ex-YU republics, still believe in that

Don't let his disposition fool you; he's gonna be a force in game 7. Could be comparable to game 5.

The first question about how you wash away a loss like this, shows that they don't really know jokic. A guy like this thrives under situations like this. Like a viking warrior he is amused by a challenge. In any case this has been an incredible series. Can't wait for game 7. Rooting for timberwolves.

At least he’s not a front runner like Murray

He just wants to get it over with and go home 😂

these playoffs have been amazing

He is in a good mood with right attitude. All I wanted to see. Congrats Wolves. You've beat us to the ground this one fair and square.

Jordan would never be cool with a 45 point loss, its really crazy that this man is great in such a different way, I would not say he is a dog. Game 7 gonna be one for the ages. Legacy altering game.

I just know key gonna have an all time insane hot take for his game 7 prediction 😂

Next game, let's do this Nuggets!

love this dude.... Wonderful player and person for sure.

LeBron: The refs and review booth :( it's also just basketball so who cares Jokic: Yea we got destroyed, just another game and we'll be back

Jokic gonna drop 43 next game

Nikola standing on the sideline was scary!watch out wolves fan.😆

This just shows his great sportsmanship and his humor.
