Nikola Jokic unhappy with people calling his performances ‘effortless’ One poor reporter attempted to sing Jokic’s praises after the Nuggets’ win against the New Orleans Pelicans, where he had 21 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists. He let Jokic know about the NBA record he had broken and asked what makes games seem so effortless to him at the start of the season. But Denver’s leading man interrupted him, saying, “It’s not effortless. I think we need to stop saying that. “I’m still running like other guys, I’m still jumping like other guys. Sometimes, just the game goes my way and I have a good night like today. I think it was an okay night for me. Decent night, whatever. A good night for me. Hopefully, it is going to be like that in the future.”
