basketball.realgm.com/analysis/275040/Nikola-Jokics-Zen-Mind
Quick Glance: Nikola Jokic's Humble Nature
- The NBA era of infinite space, no limit three-point variance, and the extinction of the classic point guard has been kept at bay stylistically and in terms of championships and awards by Nikole Jokic and the Denver Nuggets.
- Despite his high level of autonomy, Jokic exhibits a decidedly pragmatic nature. His guiding principle is always to seek out the easiest points, which he seems to do instinctively, not out of a statistically driven ruthlessness. The Nuggets achieve the same easy points that every modern offense aims for, but the process is different and cannot be duplicated.
- It seems that Jokic is not obsessed or particularly ambitious. Whether this is actually true or not, Jokic definitely shows no inclination towards self-promotion. Nothing seems staged. Jokic, while entertaining, is not an entertainer. He will continue to avoid much of the NBA that he finds burdensome until he is ready to end the nine months on the court.

Quick Glance: Kobe Bryant's Official Statue Contains 3 Misspelled Names and Words
- Former Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant’s statue immortalizing his 81-point game against the Toronto Raptors in January 2006 has several misspellings.
- Three names and words are misspelled. Jose Calderon's last name, who played eight NBA seasons with the Raptors, is written as "Calderson."
- Von Wafer, a six-year NBA player, has his first name as "Vom" on the statue and the word decision spelled as "Decicion" in one instance.
- With the revelation of the multiple spelling errors on Bryant's statue, hopefully, corrective actions will be taken soon. Stay tuned for updates on the misspelled names and words in the days to come.
