Draymond explained how Jokic helped his confidence 👏 #shorts #nba #nikolajokic #nuggets #warriors

— one instant that made me really happy because it was actually my first time doing TNT. We were doing the Denver Nuggets game. They were in the playoffs. It was during the bubble. And Joker and I pointed out his defense. That is not Millsap's rotation there. That is Jokic's rotation. If they are going to win, he has to be better. Said he's the low man. He's the back. He's the center. He has to be everybody's eyes. He has to be the communication. He has to cover up everybody's mistakes if somebody breaks down the defense. And he was missing his rotations. And so I pointed it out on TV. I tried to do it in a way of, like not bashing him, but letting the world know like this is an issue. And when I saw him the following year, he said to me, he said, "Hey, I saw your comments about my defense. I've gotten better and I appreciate it." It gave me so much confidence in TV, like in doing TV, like, oh, so I can do it. Yes. It gave me so much confidence. That was a very huge moment for me.
