Nuggets star center Nikola Jokić caught the attention of Thunder big man Chet Holmgren when he made a comment about his weight over the weekend and the rookie responded Monday night.
Jokić matched up with Holmgren for the first time Sunday night and after his team’s 128–95 win, the reigning Finals MVP gave a quick assessment of his performance.
“I think he needs experience. I think he needs to be a little bit fatter, to be honest,” Jokić joked. “But yes, he has a talent that is unique.”
