"Oooooooh. I mean it's nice of course. Again, it's not something that I'm striving to do. It just happened to be. I'm happy as long as we are winning games and teammates are happy around me."

Fans reactions to Jokic's remarks

@uyoung76:

"As the starting center in the NBA, your job should be to anchor the middle defensively. Until he shows more on defense, he’s second to Embiid."

@JB_DenverSports:

"Everyone else cares about Nikola Jokic’s triple doubles, he couldn’t care less about them. Dude just wants to play the right way and win the game."

@FolsomPrimeTime:

"Jokic is the type of guy who might well fail to show up at his own Hall of Fame induction. Lol."

@JJCTroy:

"One of the best players I’ve ever seen on the court. And clearly an even better human being."
