After the Nuggets took a 3–0 lead in the Western Conference finals over the Lakers on Saturday night, Denver coach Michael Malone praised center Nikola Jokić for stepping up to help “coach” his teammates in the fourth quarter of the 119–108 win.
Despite the credit Malone handed Jokić, it sounds as if the two-time NBA MVP has no desire to land in a coaching role in the future.
Jokić was asked what “Coach Jokić is like” at his postgame media availability, and he didn’t hold back his thoughts about being a coach.
