* JJ Barea, who used to be a coach for the Denver Nuggets, says that Nikola Jokic is super easy to work with because he always shows up ready to play and make his teammates better.
* Barea saw that Jokic works harder than anyone else on the team, practicing a lot and taking care of his body, which helps him be a great player.
* Barea thinks Jokic is a lot like Dirk Nowitzki because they both train the hardest, love to compete, and are happiest when their team wins, not just when they get good stats.
