Jokic wasn’t asked about ESPN’s Kendrick Perkins late Wednesday, but he brought him up, unsolicited, nonetheless
Within Jokic’s dry, deadpan humor, not to mention a foreign language, it’s occasionally difficult to discern whether he’s being serious or not. But by bringing up Perkins, whose name wasn’t even invoked in the question, it’s fair enough to assume the various narratives have reached Jokic’s radar in some capacity.
“I don’t even follow it, to be honest,” he said following the Nuggets’ humbling loss to the Bulls on Wednesday night. He’s well aware that Perkins accused him of padding his stats. After posting his 100th career triple-double in Houston, Jokic offered a wry response to a question about reaching the milestone.Famously off social media, it was a rare instance where Jokic acknowledged a critic and the first indication he was aware of Perkins’ opinion.
