Epic Chat: Aaron Gordon and Nikola Jokić Talk Basketball, Pressure, and Dunking
Aaron Gordon: Hey Nikola! Man, I just have to start with this—your passing game is insane. How do you even see those angles?
Nikola Jokić: Hey Aaron! Thanks, bro. It’s like having a sixth sense, I guess. You know, just reading the court, watching defender’s eyes. It helps being a bit taller too, don’t you think?
Aaron Gordon: Absolutely. But you make it look easy, dude. I gotta admit, I’ve stolen a couple of your passes for practice.
Nikola Jokić: Haha, glad I could help! So, what about you? I mean, your vertical is on another level. Every dunk contest, you just wow everyone. How do you even come up with those dunks?
Aaron Gordon: Man, it’s like a mix of creativity and athleticism. But, let’s be real—it’s also a lot of YouTube and social media dives for inspiration. I just want to bring something new each time, you know?
Nikola Jokić: Well, it works. The fans go crazy for it. Speaking of fans, how do you deal with the pressure? You know, everyone expecting you to perform miracles every night?
Aaron Gordon: Good question. Honestly, it’s all about staying grounded. I focus on the basics during practice, stay connected with my family, and meditate. Gotta keep the mind sharp as well as the body.
Nikola Jokić: That’s some solid advice right there. I might need to take up meditation myself. But tell me, what’s the one dunk you’re most proud of?
Aaron Gordon: Oh man, tough one. I’d say it’s gotta be the one over the mascot on a hoverboard. It was nuts trying to time that right, but when it all came together? Magic.
Nikola Jokić: That was unreal. Felt like watching a video game! So, any new tricks up your sleeve this season?
Aaron Gordon: Oh, you know it. Can’t spoil the surprise, but let’s just say the bar’s about to be raised even higher. What about you? Any secret plays?
Nikola Jokić: Haha, secret plays? Maybe. We’ll see on the court. But hey, it’s all about making our teams better, right?
Aaron Gordon: Definitely. And having fun while doing it. Can’t forget that.
Nikola Jokić: For sure, man. Here’s to an epic season ahead!
Aaron Gordon: Cheers to that!
And there you have it—just a glimpse of what happens when two basketball legends catch up. Keep an eye out for both of them on the court this season. You won’t want to miss what they have up their sleeves!
