Nikola Jokic Reacts to LeBron James' Comments About Him

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James and Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant respect Jokic

Following the Los Angeles Lakers' recent loss to the Denver Nuggets, star forward LeBron James was very complimentary of Nikola Jokic, saying of Denver, "They have five threats on the floor at one time. And their biggest threat can do everything, and that’s Joker. That's what makes it very challenging."

James also said there is no answer for Jokic, which in his mind only goes for a select few players in the league. Jokic is of course one of these players, and continues to prove that only a nightly basis.

Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant was also complimentary of Jokic following Phoenix's win over Denver on Tuesday night, and when asked about receiving praise like this from James and Durant, Jokic gave a hilarious reaction that was very on-brand for the reigning Finals MVP.

"Of course [it means a lot]," Jokic said when asked about receiving praise from the two legends. "But they need to say something nice, they're not going to talk sh-t. But yes, I appreciate it of course. Especially from those two, who are probably still the face of the league, and they're still putting up big numbers, and still make a difference in the game... So of course it means a lot."

While Jokic joked a bit, he did speak on how much it means to receive praise from NBA legends like James and Durant.
