uh does it appear that we have the joker he's ready to go he's put on the headset after his fifth triple double of the season nicola yokic thank you very much for joining us or thanks for having me or should i call you wilt uh could a big man actually lead the league and assist for the first time since wilt how can you can you stay on top of that category i mean i don't know it's a long season i think that does the how they play coach coach coach put the ball in my hand a lot and i think i have a lot of opportunity to to make assists or make my my teammates better or give them easy easy points you know it's it's not just me so it's a strategy it's a teamwork so if i can do it yeah why not you know uh joker it's really weird i can't imagine trying to play basketball with kovic going on it was obviously totally different being in the bubble what is it like trying to live your everyday life uh you know i mean it's got i wouldn't know how to handle it if i was a player today it's different you know it's a little bit different but those are the rules you need we need to play by the rules uh i mean i think the how the all starts are happening uh the team who is who is strict who is wearing the mask who is who have the more uh available players are gonna are gonna have better records i think that they're just gonna one more opportunity for for teams to kind of have uh maybe some some easy wins uh joker chuck and i just watched you destroy little fella he tried to play physical witcher you just finessed him to death when do you decide to play physical when do you decide to say you know what i'm not going to be physical at all i'ma just kill this guy with finesse like you did tonight i mean uh i i didn't i i wouldn't say that i i destroyed him i think uh it depends i mean uh just uh i like to play slow i like to play to see what's gonna happen on the floor um are they going to double me where they're going to come from i like just um i mean for for me and i think for for teammates to beat every every every game needs to be a learning experience you know if they double our from the baseline what we're going to do with that if they double from the nail what we're going to do i think it's just uh kind of wraps i mean they they double mean in you know in a playoff a lot so if we can have that we just need to kind of remind ourselves you know and sometimes when we need a bucket i just need to go aggressive you know not to score just to maybe get a foul you know just have a easy easy bucket uh joker you know a lot of players we had a debate about this at halftime there's a lot of players that's in your position that have the ball a lot in their hands and sometimes it's to the detriment of the team and then with you it seems like it's been a positive for you how do how do you approach that knowing that you're gonna have the ball so many possessions so many positions in so many areas how do one you stay focused in it keep your teammates locked in and not tire yourself out over 72 games i think it just just me being uh up the floor a little bit like to have the ball on the top of the key it's it's better because there's a lot of a lot of room to to cut a lot of room to to to go back door and dress if they make a good screen if we they need to respect you know uh like good screen or empty space you know they need to help so i can get kick it out or i can i can i can knock the mid-range so it's just the game the game i never i never go to the game like i'm gonna do this this i'm always i always take whatever game gives me 23 14 and 10 for big honey another triple double that's posibas thanks a lot for joining us man he's the wrong language again we apologize he's not rushing about his russian no he's not right how was it growing up in moscow i'm not from russia you are a piece of work inside the nba is next come on stop come on stop being grasses you look like drago to me from rocky i thought he was rushing he looked like dragon
