Jokic je u zadnjih 10-ak dana svim tradicionalnim americkim medijima: ESPN, Sports Illustrated, prije par dana bio clanak u New York Timesu, a danas po prvi put (barem koliko ja znam) u Wall Street Journal.  Hajde, ESPN i SI, to im je domen, ali NYT i WSH  je znak da je Jokara postao as main strem as the come. He has arrived, stono bi se reklo. Da je malo angazovaniji, uzeo bi vise para od reklama nego Djokovic.

The pass­ing of the Den­ver Nuggets’ 6-foot-11-inch cen­ter has long been one of the NBA’s won­ders, but it has reached an­other level this sea­son as he mounts a cam­paign for a third con­sec­u­tive Most Valu­able Player Award. Along­side a re­tooled sup­port­ing cast, Jo­kic has av­er­aged a ca­reer-high 9.9 as­sists per game. His dis­tri­b­u­tion an­i­mates bas­ket­ball’s sec­ond-best of­fense, an at­tack that has the Nuggets at the top of the West­ern Con­fer­ence.

 

Great bas­ket­ball play­ers tend to dic­tate the of­fense, of course, and the in­tu­itive logic has only be­come more pro-nounced in re­cent sea­sons, by way of stars like Luka Don­cic. Jo­kic prefers an ap­proach akin to hot potato.

 

To the viewer, Jo­kic’s sleight of hand is hap­pily dis­ori­ent­ing—bas­ket­ball as a card trick. In a De­cem­ber game against Mem­phis, he re­ceived a pass on the wing and let go of the ball as soon as it ar­rived, shut­tling it back­ward be­tween his legs as Bruce Brown sailed in for a slam dunk.

 

To the Nuggets, it is a foun­da­tion, giv­ing them at­trib­utes rarely paired in the mod­ern NBA: the every-night re­li­a­bil­ity of a su­per­star and the dy­namism of a col­lec­tive. While to­day’s top dis­trib­u­tors thrive in the pick-and-roll, which lets them op­er­ate out of the cen­ter of the floor and pass to sta­tioned shoot­ers or leap­ing big men, the strat­egy can yield di­min­ish­ing re­turns as de­fenses see it ad nau­seam.

 

“Some guys, you know which way they’re go­ing to beat you. You know which way they have to beat you,” said Bill Wal­ton, the Hall-of-Fame cen­ter whose own pass­ing pro­pelled cham­pi­onship teams at UCLA and in Port­land. “Jo­kic can beat you in any num­ber of ways.”

znam da ga je baš briga i da mu je ovako lakše, ali kako nema neki PR Nugetsa  da mu kaže da mu samo malo više kose pravi veliku razliku

Bukvalno si sam sebi dao odgovor, zabole ga

N : Since I'm 27-28 maybe I wanted to look more serious. To represent yourself. People see you differently, approach you differently. If a serious sponsorship is on the table, if a car manufacturer or a watch manufacturer approaches you, if a big brand approaches you. They see you differently if you represent yourself in a certain way

Pa nije ni Larry Bird bio ljepotan, niti je bio neka persona, pa je imao reklame za Converse i McDondalds.

 

Mada, nisam mislio na reklame same po sebi, nego da hoce da se oko toga angazuje mogao bi komotno biti mega-celebrity. Ne kao LeBron, ali sigurno A-lista u Holywoodu i NYC. Jasno je da mu to (zasad) nije vazno, i drago mi je zbog toga.

 

Ali recimo, Divac je bio upola igrac od Jokica, ali je imao smisla za samopromociju i dan-danas ga ljudi u Americi pamte.

Da.

I sad nesto kontam, mozda je ova medijska prisutnost zadjin par nedelja rezultat neke PR kampanje. Ali, da igra basket karijere u tom periodu - igra.

Meni isto bolje ovako, sto manje da prica. Kao sto glumci slikaju o svojim ulogama u filmovima, svi na kraju pricaju isto. I MJ kada prica nije deo terena, ovako sa strane gledano, ne pratim bas puno. 

[Glass Joe]

Jokić ima harizmu bukovog panja, ni prići Divcu

[Milošica]

Ja sam veliki pobornik toga da medijski nastup malo govori o nekome, dok tu osobu ne upoznaš.

 

Osim ako samo značenje reči "harizma" ne sadrži u sebi javni nastup.
