Nikola Jokić was crowned this year, as he led the Denver Nuggets to their first title and won the Finals MVP. Jokić’s indifference towards the glamor and grandeur surrounding the NBA Finals gained viral attention online, alongside his incredible passes and relentless scoring.
Some have questioned whether Jokić’s demeanor is genuine or if he is simply playing a role in the NBA circus. Surprisingly, beloved WNBA star A’ja Wilson seems to share a similar perspective on fame.

Though they won’t admit it on record, a large number of men in the NBA and high-level basketball are motivated more by the money and lifestyle than the game when it comes to working out and honing their skills. But Jokic doesn’t value fame in the same way that some people do. He has a much healthier outlook on everything, yet some see it as him not being passionate about the game. He is a performer and feels really bad in the limelight as his private life is being invaded.

“It just feels sad. Whenever you go to the bar or restaurant, some people are just taking their phones out and trying to record.” This was the statement of Jokic about having to live a life like a mannequin in a showroom under strong scrutiny, and this was advocated by A’ja Wilson in her Instagram stories.
